Metomorpho-Thon

My Classical Mythology professor first told me about Metomorpho-Thon because he was scheduled to read during it. Essentially, this event is sponsored by the Classics Club, and they read classical literature from 8 am to 8 pm in front of the Thompson Library. When I sat down next to the statue, a student was reading from Ovid's Metamorphosis. It was slightly distracting when his friends showed up to listen and take pictures (embarrass) the reader, but overall it was a good experience. It's still going on today, so if you want to listen to a little bit of classical literature, head down to the Thompson Library before 8 pm!

  2. I am excited to say that I too was a part of this awesomeness (and for the same reason- Taylor, we must be in class together!).
