The dramatic date of Plato’s dialogue Meno cannot be meaningfully determined until this character has been identified as one of the generals from Xenophon’s Anabasis. Researchers have attempted to date Plato’s dialogue immediately prior to this Voyage of the Ten Thousand that began in 401 BC, but have been pushed back to the winter of 403/402 based on conservative estimates.

Here they stayed for over two hundred years, a period in which they were the only western nation allowed to trade with the Japanese. The location where the Dutch buried their dead in H...

When I was younger I didn’t know my value. I thought that when boys liked me more, I would have more value. Or rather: I thought that my value was directly connected to how sexually attractive I was for other people (especially boys). Right now I am 22 years old and I have a boyfriend for a while and I’ve been researching feminist topics for a few years. But I feel like I’m still a victim of the ‘male gaze’. And it’s not only me. A lot of friends that I’m talking to say that the...
