So I'm in Joe's Greek Theatre class this year *SQUEE* so I thought I'd give y'all some gems from the first few weeks of class:
"If you don't do it, you're fucked! Nobody wants to sit with you." -on libations
"Women get pregnant, men get dead." -on mortal-immortal relationships
"You can't go from point A to point B without getting raped!" -on The Suppliant Maidens
"Yay penis!"
"Persians! Pants! Pussies!" -on The Persians
"Whoa! Someone is having and orgasm!"
"That sounds a little Jewish to me."
"Trojan doesn't make his size" -on Zeus and contraceptives
"As soon as you get dead, Apollo leaves."
"What up?" -translating the Watchman's speech at the beginning of Agamemnon
There will be more to come, I promise. And yes, my icon is Xena and Gabrielle.
