Talk:Philodemus

Wouldn't it be better to move this to Philodemus of Gadara? Does anyone have any objections? --Wetman 08:23, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I think it would be a good idea. Aldux 10:46, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my typo. --Wetman 11:46, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Lots of broken links?

Are all the links to the "163.1.169.40" website no longer working? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 04:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

2023 breakthrough

' When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD, burying the Roman town of Pompeii, hot gases from the volcano also flash-fried the library of a villa in nearby Herculaneum, carbonising (and thus preserving) thousands of papyrus scrolls containing Greek and Latin texts. Efforts to unwrap and read the scrolls physically, starting in the 18th century, all failed; a few words were sometimes visible, but the scrolls disintegrated. Then in 2023 researchers used a combination of X-ray scanning and artificial intelligence to reveal passages of text inside one scroll. (The breakthrough occurred when Nat Friedman, a technology investor, put the X-ray scans online and offered a $1m prize to anyone who could decode them.) The text, extracted by a team of student volunteers and analysed by papyrologists, turned out to be a previously unknown work by Philodemus, a Greek philosopher who had lived in Herculaneum.

Ethel Ross Barker

The article mentions that in her 1908 book that Ethel suggests that Philodemus owns the house. While she does briefly suggest there is evidence he may have owned the house, she later goes on to say that it was unfeasible for a philosophers reliant on a patron to own such a villa (page 87). Link to the source I used attached (same from the article).

I believe it would be appropriate to expand upon this comment or remove it.
