Andy McLaughlin's Essays

This page contains a few essays I've written while attending the University of Calgary.  The 'circa 1996' papers are the few survivors of a hard disk crash I suffered a few years ago (these were all scanned from paper copies using OCR software), and they are all in the general subject area of history, ancient history, and ancient Greek/Roman literature.
