PYTHIA!!! THRACE!!!
Battlestar Galactica needs to do Panathenaia-in-space (that's the ancient Athenian new year, by the by). Or maybe Anthesteria (the one that celebrates the opening of new wine, and is celebrated with city-wide drinking contests participated in by children as young as three... NO SERIOUSLY). Also, I can now recite the Greek creation myth BY HEART.
I will never be able to look at Botticelli's The Birth of Venus that same way again, knowing that her Greek counterpart, Aphrodite, was born because Cronus (father of Zeus) cut off his father Uranus' genitals and threw them into the ocean. ........ Yeah.
And LOOK MA! The exam's on TUESDAY. I'm a full DAY AHEAD WTF.
