If you had been serious about this, it would have a double tragedy even greater than the time my friend, upon hearing the opening words of "Bohemian Rhapsody," groaned: "Oh man, I hate the Beatles!"

A current project of this sort is re-reading the Iliad in the original. The fact that I have read it in the Greek three times before makes it somewhat easier. However, the last time I read it was probably 40 years ago. After I finish the Iliad (I'm in Book XVIII at the moment), I then want to do the Odyssey, then shift over to Latin and re-read the Aeneid. That is fresher in memory, since I only re-read it about 12 years ago.


******* awesome.
