baffling to see that most of the scholarly conversations about all my interests in ancient performance and tragic staging are happening entirely in english EXCEPT for scholarship specifically on the ekkyklema, which is evenly divided between italian, french, german, english, and modern greek

#for the most part i (functionally monolingual english speaker) am pretty lucky that my reading list is almost all in english #*self-created reading list #there's one (1) contemporary french scholar whose stuff in french i really want to look at #and if i get into fragmentary drama it ends up involving older and/or papyrological german scholarship #but it's really overwhelmingly folks publishing in english about the things i'm interested in and citing other people in english #except the ekkyklema.#mine
