I try to forget snip the Greek plays...yech....

[I think MC was suggesting, in another post ( Too much flat calm weather
lately) that the Vikings may have been admirers of Greek techniques.]
In any case, my favorite theme comes from Greek lit: ~~ it is impossible to
learn without suffering, and impossible to suffer without learning.~~

It wasn't the themes, and it wasn't the plots or characters I didn't =
like. I enjoyed paraphrased versions. It was reading them as plays =
with the chorus and all....Our teacher even had the chorus make masks on =
sticks to hold up before our faces while we read....was =
truly....uninspiring...

I'm not disagreeing with you on this one. I loved the stories but the
performances are often dry dry dry. I would have thought the Greeks to be a
livelier group of performers!
