I can hide the truth no longer - I'm a diehard classicist. I have studied Greek three years and Latin two. I am going to major in Classics at my University. I have one (growing) shelf filled with ancient works. Homer and Hesiod, Plato and Aristotle, Euripides and Aristophanes. Caesar and Cicero; Vergil, Horace, and Ovid. Every time I open a Greek or Latin text my hands begin shaking and my heart literally skips a beat.
But I have still more to confess. My Mac is named Isokrates (Socrates for the common man:-); my iPod is named Euterpe (the muse of Music). My car's name is Eurynome (consort of Zeus, goddess of the Ocean, and mother of the three Graces). My hair stylist's name is Diana.
If loving the ancient languages more than life is a crime, then I confess myself to be the greatest criminal I know.
You're awesome.
