Thank you, Danielle Kellogg, for organizing a monthly social hour for the faculty of the Department of Classics in Cincinnati, and for treating us to an Athenian edition this summer! We are so lucky to have you!

Many thanks to our colleagues of the Hellenic National Archaeological Museum for so generously welcoming the participants of the 21st International Aegean Conference last Friday! We enjoyed a wonderful visit of the exhibit "The Pylos of Nestor" introduced by Katerina Voutsa. It was also a pleasure to see there again our Tytus Fellow Kostas Paschalidis!
