I was going to post about something else, but this? This is wonderful.
The Philoctetes Project is staging readings from Sophocles for American battle veterans.
They are using the Ajax and Philoctetes to illustrate that what happens to modern-day soldiers when they come home has been happening for millennia.
An article and two video clips can be found here.
If you're a Paul Giamatti fan-he's in one of the clips.
And one more piece of awesomecake? The brigadier general in charge of the project is a woman.
