Laudator Temporis Acti

Dear Michael Gilleland:

I enjoyed the poem on the 100th Loeb that you posted. As far as I know no one has been inspired to mark the occasion of the 500th Loeb with verse.

Two comments:

The error in Sophocles: this was brought our attention along with a number of other small slips. Volumes I and II of the Loeb edition are being subjected to a complete proofreading and will be corrected in their next printings.

Your remark about spending a spare $10,000 on the complete Loeb: The complete set is actually available at a 25% discount, $8,097.26 if ordered before July 1, 2007 and $9,036 after that date. We also offer discounts on complete sets of just the Latin or just the Greek volumes.

Feel free to share this information with readers of your blog.

With best wishes,
