Odysseus always gets him mates into trouble with that car. I mean really, such a dangerous driver!

OH GOD I KEEP MAKING AMUSED NOISES WHEN I MEET A NEW CHARACTER. Oh Big Al, I heart you!

Ahaha, the columns.

Oh man, can you imagine Odysseus in a fluorescent jacket for orienteering?

Wooo, Medea, she is awesome FUCK JASON. This is going to end in tears.

HELEN. **flails**

I don’t even want to get into the train of thought that has a person aborting a child as revenge against their former boyfriend Umm, yeah. Never let it be said the Greeks didn't have issues.

Woo, Ms Circe. Makes eyes at Penny's man, does she?

OMG ORPHEUS yussssssssss. Orpheus sighs and too late I remember the cardinal rule: never ask Orpheus about himself. “I wrote some new poems.” Bahahahha

Oooh, nice take on Thucydides! And Plato! And Herodotus! Omg I want to spend a day at Greek High.

Eww, creepy Pythagoras. Clytemnestra! Nessie for short? God, that goes down the wrong path right there. She'd love Twilight, too.

Odysseus’ mates call him the Mariner, which, ( ... )

Odysseus probably drives drunk and is the only one to survive crashes.

There had to be columns.

I have an image of Sean Bean in a fluorescent jacket. It is ... not entirely unpleasant.

It is difficult writing big Greek issues because they are exceptionally crazy in this world - and also can't be taken so lightly.
Medea is going to KICK ARSE AND TAKE NAMES.

Everyone makes eyes at Pen's man.

Orpheus is my favourite ever. I think I would like to write an episode from his perspective except it would have to be black font on a black page and be entirely in rhyming couplets and I can't think of a good rhyme for Eurydice.

LOL Clytemnestra reads Twilight. Lysistrata has banned them from Women's Group. Sappho has a crush on Alice.

THERE IS ALWAYS A JOKE TO BE MADE ABOUT SYPHILIS.

Al is Hephaestion's man through and through.

Am I missing a joke with the large forehead thing?

Ahahah, ture ture. That is also a hrash burn, and I approve ;)

Oh man, Sean Bean can look good in anything. As long as his hair is good, anyway.

Woo Medea!

Oh my god, yes. Orpheus ftw. I love him so much. So much fun to laugh at :D

I get the feeling the Women's Group used to have a book club, and then there was a 'Twilight Incident', which they will never speak of again.

TOTES.

You remember that statue of Pericles wearing the helmet, but if you take the helmet off you realise he would have to have an abnoramlly large forehead in order to actually wear it?

Glad you like!
In my head Orpheus is played by Robert Pattinson.

This...may be the only way I will ever learn Classics. (This is a compliment! I didn't last a day in classics at high school, and apparently I even had the single coolest teacher ever/at oats. You must be gifted!)

It's brilliant and I love it :D
