Laudator Temporis Acti: Portrait of the Blogger as an Old Man

Portrait of the Blogger as an Old Man

Aristophanes, Clouds 908 (tr. Alan H. Sommerstein):

You're senile and out of touch.

The same (tr. Jeffrey Henderson):

You're an outmoded old blowhard.

The Greek:

τυφογέρων εἶ κἀνάρμοστος.

W.J.M. Starkie ad loc.:
