HODIE: ante diem nonum Kalendas Iunias. You can add a Roman calendar as a widget in your blog or webpage, or display it as a Google Calendar: here's how.
MORE FABLES: Here are today's fables from the Ictibus Felicibus project. These fables ALL have long marks, plus stress marks for easy reading, and the poems have meter marks, too, along with an easy-to-read prose presentation of the story:
- Medicus et Aegrotus, the story of a doctor whose good advice comes post mortem.
- Lupus, Lex eius et Asinus, a great little story where the donkey exposes a hypocritical wolf.
- Caprarius et Caprae, the story of a goatherd who lost his own goats while hoping to capture the wild goats.
- Mercurius et Artifices, a story that explains the poor repute of ancient cobblers - they sound kind of like used car salesman nowadays.
- Viatores et Platanus, the plane tree's complaint about human ingratitude.
