    I looked up Martin Ferguson Smith whos scholarly work on Lucretius is very good.

    He has an interesting website with a great article on Epicureanism and Covid-19 which is very much worth a read. https://www.martinfergusonsmith.com/

    He has an interesting link to a really nice video on Diogenes of Oinoanda. Apologies if you have seen it before or if its already been posted. (I couldn't locate a thread on it).

    The film is called A Gigantic Jigsaw Puzzle: The Epicurean Inscription of Diogenes of Oinoanda.

    1 - Thank you Samj! I had not seen that website and it appears it is relatively new in the last couple of years. Thanks for the links!

    2 - Just as a side note on posting, if you could be sure that when you paste into a post that the font is not carried over, that would improve readability. The name Diogenes Of Oineanda above appears in a hard-coded font and isn't readable on dark background. The best technique when pasting into a post is to select the text and then use the "A", "T" and brush icons, each of which have a "remove" function at the bottom of the dropdown. That allows you to remove hard-coded font, size, and color coding. If you get a chance to try it out I'll leave it as is for a while and then (if I remember) I will come back and fix it myself if you don't fix it first -- thanks!

    Thanks Cassius.

    Appreciate you explaining the icons. I've had a go at it now.
