*2015. Also not my favorite. Not a surprise, considering I like Greek better than Roman & didn’t like The Odyssey and this is the Roman version of The Odyssey. I felt bad for Dido though, the idiot.*
**More Aeneid is no doubtedly coming, though don’t say I didn’t warn you that there will probably be sass.**
*2015. Good ol’ grumpy-pants Augustine.*
**There may or may not be more Augustine in the future. He wasn’t my favorite, but there are definitely moments worth sharing.**
*2015, The Tarquins, Tullia. Good times, Romans. Good times.*
**The Tarquins are another one of those stories you will definitely see more of, barring death or insanity.**
*2015. Ah, good ol’ Croesus.*
**There will always (within reason) be more Herodotus. He’s one of my favorites.**
*2015. Yup. This about sums him up.*
**Possible scenes from The Republic & The Symposium in the future**
*From 2015. Re-reading Anabasis/Persian Expedition while also reading parts of Ctesias/Plutarch has made me even more interested in this time period.*
**I apologize for spelling Xen’s name wrong. I scribbled this down between my teaching job and my (at the time) retail job.**
*This is also from 2015. Alcibiades was the most memorable of all of the lives our class read about. Without a doubt, unless I should die first, there will be extended comics of Alcibiades in the future.*
ALSO: If you want to read up on Alcibiades there is a FREE translation of Plutarch’s life of Alcibiades from the Loeb Classical Library HERE. Alcibiades also shows up in Thucydides History of the Pelopponesian War, but Plutarch is enough to start with.
Odysseus: He Cries and He Lies
*This is from 2015, my first year teaching. While I have come to love The Iliad‘s Odysseus, not a fan of The Odyssey‘s. This scene sums up my feelings on the matter.*
