Josephus

I am taking a break from cleaning to publicly pity myself. For my comprehensive exams, it was suggested that I read Josephus, just one book would do to round out my ancient historians. I read Against Apion  http://www.ccel.org/j/josephus/works/apion-1.htm. It is really good stuff. 

I desk-ed check a beautiful edition with a modern translation and expansive notes and essays. I checked out the Loeb edition, thinking I would read the Greek at home and the notes in Blegen. Somehow the Loeb edition found its way on my shelf and chameleoned itself as a personal book. Long story short. I packed it and stored it. It will be due and I will be charged $100. Why someone can't just go on amazon www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0674995759/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&qid=1314653819&sr=1-1&condition=used and buy a used copy for 13.00 is still unclear.

Just when I think I am free of Cincinnati and Blegen... it keeps pulling me back in! When I return from Bulgaria, I am writing an article on Josephus. I will become a Jewish Antiquities expert; people will demand that I speak all over the world. Just you wait Josephus... just you wait!
