Robert Siegel, former Dartmouth English professor and award-winning author and poet, died on Dec. 21 at the age of 73. During his time at the College, Siegel could often be found working in Sanborn Library and was "much loved by students and faculty" for his passion and dedication, according to Jay Parini, a former College English professor and Siegel's colleague. Siegel came to Dartmouth in 1967, where he taught literature and creative writing until 1975, according to Lenaye Marsten, Siegel's daughter. After leaving Dartmouth, Siegel taught at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, where he was eventually named professor emeritus, according to an obituary written by his children. During his lifetime, Siegel wrote 10 books of poetry and fiction, most notably the children's series "The Whalesong Trilogy." His works have been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Illinois Council for the Arts. Siegel is survived by his wife of 51 years, three daughters and four grandchildren. A memorial service will take place at Trinity Anglican Church in Rochester, N.H. on April 6, 2013.

Contemporary film and literary portrayals of Greek and Roman mythological figures present distorted images and information, according to a Huffington Post article written by Dartmouth classics professor Pramit Chaudhuri. Although awareness of Greek and Roman mythology has increased, the success of books and movies by Rick Riordan, such as the "Percy Jackson" series, describes the contemporary adventures of teenage demigods inspired by inaccurate representations of ancient mythology, according to Chaudhuri. Modern retellings of myths about the Titans and Giants paint them as "monstrous threats to order and civilization" and favor mortal protagonists. Children who indulge in these contemporary versions of mythology that underline the creatures' negative qualities rather than powerful symbolism should be encouraged to learn the classic context for the "cartoonish" villains, Chaudhuri said.
