Yes, I'm on a non-horse-icon kick.
My paper is SO not getting done. Oh well. I knew there was a reason Julius Caesar was cool. On How to Deal with Pirates:
"Caesar treated the cutthroats holding him as if they were a personal bodyguard: he would order them to keep quiet whenever he was ready for his siesta, commandeer an audience whenever he wanted to practice his oratory, and dress them down whenever he felt they failed to appreciate the finer points of his style and delivery. The pirates were amused no end by all this, and made the slip of staying amused when Caesar good-humoredly promised that he would come back after his release and hang them all."
Casson, Lionel. The Ancient Mariners, p. 181. Forgive the sloppy citation. I love this book!
And now, on to ( MORE fun Mediterranean things. )
