as Achilles was to Patroclus

From last year, when I was reading two epics simultaneously.

Pretty cool. :)

I think I'm going to be doing that reading-two-epics-thing next spring. ::sigh::

[ursulakohl]

I thought you'd already done the Odyssey seminar?

[flammifera]

Yeah, but it was my first seminar, and halfway through the semester I was too shell-shocked academically and too occupied with other things emotionally to do any work. So I'm nowhere near prepared to take an Honors exam on it.

[ursulakohl]

Ah. Well, the two-epic thing is kind of nifty, in that you see all sorts of connections you wouldn't otherwise.

[fyrdrakken]

Oooh. That is rather good.

[ursulakohl]

Mmm, thank you. Had to resurrect this, since people are starting to insult Troy . . .
