Just went to see 300 and it was SO VERY AWESOME. The epitome of the Greek Heroic Code.

And now I must finish reading the Bacchae and write a response for my Greek Tragedies course. I think I may be feeling bloody-minded enough for the task at hand. :)

I should pick your brain on potential stuff for my summer reading list. I've read enough Sophocles and a little bit of Aescylus to last me awhile, but I don't know what's a good place to start from other playwrites like Euripides and Aristophanes (eee comedy!) and stuff.

Thoughts? Got any faves? I had a copy of The Seven Against Thebes that I bought for $1.00 at my favorite local bookstore lying around my room but somehow it got lost in my clutter and I haven't been able to find it sense. woe!

I found it interesting how unabashedly pro-Western civilisation that film was. Iran was quite insulted (http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=3159&sectionid=351020105).
