VERGILIUS
A message from Raymond J.Clark, Department of Classics, Memorial University
of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada A1C 5S7
I have recently been appointed editor of VERGILIUS, the journal of The
Vergilian Society of America, and I am looking for good articles on Vergil,
and books on Vergil for listing and possible selection for review.
VERGILIUS publishes on all aspects of Vergil without restriction, including
most notably the poetry (literary, stylistic, or textual), characters,
myths, topography, archaeology, art, religion, philosophy, history, earlier
and later authors connected to Vergil, manuscripts, modern translations, as
well as other areas listed under headings found in the annual Vergilian
Bibliography published by this journal.
The journal has a wide circulation (over a thousand). Please think of this
journal when you are writing on Vergil. I look forward to receiving
submissions.
NOTE: annual cost for subscription is USD 25.00. I can provide details.

The UBC Stymphalos Project will be in the field from June 15-July 31st at
Stymphalos in the northeastern Peloponnese. We shall be digging streets
and houses of the Hellenistic period as well as a sanctuary of Athena
Polias which produced a shattered marble kore and a "temple child" last
summer. We cordially invite any interested members of the CAC and others
to visit us. The site is in a lovely well watered mountain valley about
three hours by car from Athens. Further information can be obtained at the
Canadian Institute in Athens (722-3201), Dionysios Aiginitou 7 (just east
of Hilton Hotel).

APA ON THE INTERNET
WEB SURFERS will wish to visit or revisit the APA's WWW site
(http://scholar.cc.emory.edu/APA.html), which has become a richer source of
current information for association members and others. The Non-Print
Publications Board (chair, Professor J.J. O'Donnell) of the APA has
accepted responsibility for overall management of the site and editorial
function, in conjunction with the office of the Secretary-Treasurer. 1996
is envisioned as an experimental year, to culminate in the appointment of a
regular "editor" of the WWW-site, perhaps as early as the APA's December
meetings. In the meantime, comments and suggestions are naturally welcome:
a "mailto" facility on the page allows you to send information directly to
the supervising committee, or e-mail may be sent directly to Professor
O'Donnell as jod@ccat.sas.upenn.edu. The Non-Print Publications Board
wishes to thank Linda Wright of the University of Washington for invaluable
technical and editorial assistance, and William Johnson, Chair of the APA's
Committee on Computer Activities, for advice and collaboration as well.
