In this episode, Dr. Josh Hartman talks about playing games with his Greek students to help them practice the language, then has fascinating things to say about Puerto Rican authors and their interpretation of classical texts. AWESOME. He would like you to know that he meant Constantine the VII (not Constantine IX) and Khosrow I (not Khosrow II).
Puerto Rican poets mentioned:
Ramón Emeterio Betances
Luis Muñoz Rivera
Lola Rodríguez de Tió
