It gave us quite a tidy influx of wannabe classics majors who needed us to help untangle their fractured fairy tale version of mythology!<br /><br />I always had the feeling that Aristophanes and Apuleius were haunting that show.Greekgeekhttp://www.squidoo.com/greekgeeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-78201972387982072722010-10-13T12:33:45.459+01:002010-10-13T12:33:45.459+01:00@faithlessone - I may have to skip ahead to that e...@faithlessone - I may have to skip ahead to that episode, it sounds funny! :)Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-32061574341644305582010-10-13T12:31:04.519+01:002010-10-13T12:31:04.519+01:00Yeah, that pretty much sums it up :) Though I'...Yeah, that pretty much sums it up :) Though I'm very fond of Plutarch - who's somewhere in the middle I think - and I like Marcus Aurelius' Meditations as well. But since I lean towards poetry, novels, imperial history and biography, those all tend to involve the more exciting narratives.Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-23880933143149149602010-10-13T12:30:21.471+01:002010-10-13T12:30:21.471+01:00A note to your inner feminist - you can actually g...A note to your inner feminist - you can actually generally tell how late the season is by the amount of Gabrielle's flesh on show.

It's been such a long time. <br /><br />Reading your preferences for Classical literature in this and other posts, it seems you prefer the ripping yarns to the scholarly contemplations - I must admit they are easier to stay awake reading!!<br /><br />Keep up the great work<br /><br />Kind Regards<br />HAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091875643921165081noreply@blogger.com
