You still have a month to visit this exhibition in Rome

I Colori del Bianco is an exhibition of ancient sculpture with original pieces set beside replicas which have been painted as the originals certainly once were. Some examples are on this Blog, and a further selection can be found here. The exhibition is held in the Vatican, runs until January 31st, and entry is apparently free.

From an otherwise interesting piece on Homer by Robert McCrum from The Observer of Sunday May 16, 2004 – sorry, I've only just come across it. The question is what kind of poet?
Homer
DoB: 1100-900 BC (in Chios or Smyrna or Rhodes or any number of Ionian islands)
AKA: Melesigenes
Job: Lyric poet
Big break: The Iliad, followed by The Odyssey, plus various other works including the comic mini-epic Batrachomyomachia (The Frog-Mouse War)
The article is here.
