^ahah well mythology is not too bad in the end...better than sallustio and cicero to me...I mean, I prefer to read myths than cicero's letters to his friends...

I really like Arthurian mythology. I've tried to construct a family tree for that, too, and failed miserably, mostly because who's related to who varies from interpretation to interpretation.

Anyway...currently studying John Milton's Paradise Lost. It's really, really, really dense. Really. The premise is intriguing and I enjoy it in a when-am-I-going-to-get-to-stop-doing this sort of way

I have to read Mansfield Park. By Jane Austen. It's going to be miserable. She's a terribly simplistic author.

Btw, Celtic and Norse mythology totally beat everything else (except for Tolkien's!).

yeah mythology is fine. I really enjoyed reading epic poems too, but Dante remains my favourite....I hated Manzoni, for example...

Greek mythology is my boat. Then, there's Norse, which I find mildly interesting. Other then that, I'm not that big on myths. =[ Except when I get back to my roots with some Native American stuff. Now that, that is interesting.

Finni with the Conquest of Gaul. Still studying some Greek. Rereading the Iliad for the zillionth time. And I've found a nice little historical fiction called Justus. It's pretty much the bomb diggity.

at one point, I was alejandrah.

I get to do Peter Pan next week, which will be fun. I've always enjoyed that book, fairy-tale-junkie that I am. Done Paradise Lost, too, which is a relief.

starting Oedpius Rex on Tuesday... joy. But we're watching the movie first... In Latin I think it is, Oedpius means swollen ankle, and rex is king, so Oedpius Rex directly translated is Swollen Ankle the King...O_o

I really want to do Taming of the Shrew right away, but the teacher decided to do the Glass Menagerie after Rex so...

ahahah yeah I knew that!!! aha latin names! my name, Claudia, comes from latin, and it means "the one that limps" or something like that. people always makes jokes about it -.-
just had my italian literature test btw...
oh, we're studying John Donne in the english one.

*sigh* We were supposed to be reading Oedipus Rex right about now, but the teacher decided to do Aeschylus's Seven Against Thebes first. I don't like it. -_-
