Aristophanes is great
Ok so I'm not bored of Aristophanes yet. Just re-reading The Wasps and discovered the line "Now then, my fellow-jurymen, my savage-hearted wasps! Some of you go for his backside: give it him hot, that's the way! You others surround him; jab at his eyes and fingers."
Brilliant!
Edit: There's more "Say one of the slave girls leaves the door on the latch - you can bend her over. I mean bind her over. That's the usual procedure isn't it?"
