Page DuBois - Trojan Horses: Saving the Classics from Conservatives
We've become accustomed to the wisdom of the ancient Greeks being trotted out by conservatives in the name of timeless virtues. At the same time, critics have charged that multiculturalists and their ilk have hopelessly corrupted the study of antiquity itself, and that the teaching of Classics is dead. Trojan Horses is Page duBois's answer to those who have appropriated material from antiquity in the service of a conservative political agenda-among them, Camille Paglia, Allan Bloom, and William Bennett. She challenges cultural conservatives' appeal to the authority of the classics by arguing that their presentation of ancient Greece is simplistic, ahistorical, and irreparably distorted by their politics. As well as constructing a devastating critique of these pundits, Trojan Horses seeks to present a more complex and more accurate view of ancient Greek politics, sex, and religion, with a Classics primer.

the last time we linked to says-it, the admin showed up and said Hi. He was also real cool about adding Discordian and Subgenii logos to their library. So that's why I dig that one.
remember?

The answer is The Scots.
Yes, the Protestant kilt-wearing Irish. The ones who don't blow up Englishmen, they just punch every single Englishman in the face, using your face as a proxy.
