I enjoyed your reflections, coming back to school after some time myself. I think of all the books I've read, that I could reread and possibly see with new depth. I got a chukle out of you seeing hubris in your ex, and it made me think that if we looked at our lives (or a small part of, or experience) as a greek tragedy, and questioned where those words would fit in we'd all get quite a laugh - and really understand the definition of the words.

I really like your writing style! I enjoyed reading your post. I laughed as I pictured the scene you described. "I can only imagine the very strong cathartic effect that would have been experienced by Greeks in the 400’s BC, watching Oedipus, such a strong, brave and wise heroic figure going through such agony as he realized his unwitting errors." I can imagine too that this would have been a powerful experience.
