A couple of mentions of the influence of particular Latin teachers, and a review of Oedipus Rex by Stravinsky.

• Obituary of Jill McGown, crime writer. Her Latin teacher was Colin Dexter.
• Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Latin teacher was an accomplished cook.
• With Latin making a comeback in the classroom, Stravinsky's opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex could now conquer spheres beyond the concert hall, which is where it now resides as one of the greatest works of all time. So opens a review in the Independent. (Some teachers may remember singing part of this work at a recent ArLT Summer School.)
