Re: your comment here...
Hi. Thanks for the shout-out :)
I've never actually read the popular Troades by Euripides. some day.
I read a later story by Seneca. The book is so terribly sad.
Sounds cheesy, but it's largely thanks to the blockbuster movie "Troy" that I dug into them Troy-related classics. I agree that there are lessons stored in these stories.
Fun stuff, Erik! I may have to give it a try.
Hey Tosin and Robin,
Thanks for the comments! I was watching Basquiat and gave it a quick shot. A "text" post is coming ;)
Cheers,
Erik
