Heraclitus! Heraclitus "One does and does not step twice into the same river" the Obscure! *prances madly* I like most of the other Presocratics' worldviews better, but Heraclitus has attitude. He is, as you say, into fire. What fun! (The Presocratics are, hopefully, my ticket into somewhere interesting. If only I could write this stupid statement of purpose I meant to write over Wintersession.) Many congratulations on Oxford, btw. How long will you be there?
I'm reading Helen under the guidance of an enthusiastic Kate Gilhuly. Luckily there are actually three other people in the class, so less pressure. It's much better than Lysias or *makes sign of warding off* Antiphon.
