Isn't it time to start winding Classics departments down? Or is there stuff still left to cover? I don't want to rush anybody, but I also feel like there's some more useful work in astronomy or materials science we could put these people on.

My question is more along the lines of how much scholarship you can squeeze out of a limited quantity of source material. We've been working this vein of ore for millennia.

As someone who works in Classics, there are still vast expanses of unexplored and underexplored material. And there’s also more new source materials being discovered or published all the time.

Many of those exoplanets will turn out to have their own stash of exopapyrus scrolls. You're only kicking the can down the road.
