Greek moments

1. Molly has a book of the cartoon Hercules. She inherited it from a cousin, and loves it. She points to Hercules (on every page) and says "That's Daddy!" Initially this was done without instigation from us...now I'm not so sure.
2. In the excellent Micawber's Bookstore last weekend, I overheard someone say "The Iliad's the tragedy; The Odyssey's the comedy." I was only sort of able to get into it with the strangers...I was surprised and they weren't particularly responsive, sadly. As David points out, The Odyssey does have a happy ending.
