https://h-net.social/@bhrosenwei...This beautiful image from a loutrophoros (Apulia) BM 1900.0519.1 shows Hecuba and Polymestor. Please help me with the iconography. What is Hecuba holding in her right hand? Is P pointing to his eyes because he is already blind? What is he holding in his left hand? Thank you!

https://h-net.social/@bhrosenwei...I just finished my book on the history of the feelings of old age. And how do I feel? Relieved, amazed ... and hoping that I did justice to the topic. The emotions of the elderly are as varied as the elderly themselves. Multiply that by eras, and you have an infinite number of feelings to write about!

https://h-net.social/@bhrosenwei...I just finished Mann's Dr Faustus, which ends with a lament for Germany which, like Mann's hero, consigned its soul to the Devil. Would not Mann today end with a lament for all nations, all too complacent in the face of human suffering? May 2024 bring sanity.

https://h-net.social/@bhrosenwei...Have any of you been asked to answer a MacArthur Foundation questionnaire. I do hope it wasn't spam. It didn't feel like spam. The one question that threw me: If you could ask one question of a MacArthur grant official (I think that was the word), what would you ask? Well, yes, I asked the burning question: Why haven't I received one? Wouldn't you reply similarly?

https://h-net.social/@bhrosenwei...Jill Lepore says that X is Musk's favorite mark . He even named one of his children X. But the X he chose in place of the Twitter bird is so hard. Nothing lively, nothing humorous, nothing friendly about it. Does he want the site to wither away like Tithonus?

https://h-net.social/@bhrosenwei..."Love: A History in Five Fantasies" will come out in Arabic translation from the publishing house Shahrayar. It's too much to hope that the reading public will be as entranced with Love's fantasies as utterly as it has been with Shahrazad's, but very welcome news even so.

https://h-net.social/@bhrosenwei...For my recorded talk at the recent Leuven conference on the History of Disabilities and Emotions, see my video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AqF0Simlqc). A good topic to think about, for (as I realized), old age and disability pose similar issues of interpretation and social construction.
