TAKE THE FREAKIN' BRIBE ACHILLEUS.

 

Like seriously, what was up with those Ancient Greeks?

 

So I'm on Book 9 of the Iliad, and I get to the part where Agamemnon spends something like fifty lines listing all the stuff he'll give Achilleus if the latter will be persuaded to rejoin the battle. And I'm like, "Holy geez, that's a lot of stuff. Like, a seriously huge amount of stuff."

 

And obviously Achilleus refuses.

 

WHAT THE HECK.

 

 

In other news, I'm up to episode 8 of Lain. Every time I think things are starting to make sense, something else happens that just... doesn't. Also this show is extremely creepy and unnerving. Like the scene where everyone is staring at Lain.

Illiad is fun... ^^

 

I read a bit of the ancient greek stories as a kid, so it's been years, but I found it very memorable when this one guy held his hand into fire just to prove a point until it was a burnt stump.

Oh God, Lain. Lain. Lain. I stopped watching that show after nine episodes. It's like they took the last two episodes of NGE and decided to make a show out of it. Only worse.

 

I'd recommend Higurashi as a substitute, but I just noticed you already saw it! You watch a lot of anime. You're worse than this friend of mine. He finished the entire FMA anime - all 51 episodes - in three days. During the school year.

Actually I don't marathon much, and I've never seen that much at once... might run a cour in a day but mostly not. I mean, both seasons of Code Geass (50 eps total) took me maybe 5 days to a week, and that was over winter break.

 

Then again, I have a lot of shows running at once, so I usually have to split my time.

Yeah, Code Geass took me a long while. I like to savor my anime (plus I have Internet ADD), and I only usually watch one at once.

I did something like that.

All though in my defense it was 4-5 days, and 2 of them were in the weekend :P

 

P.S. As for Achilleus, keep in mind that he was nothing if not a proud man, and that any bribe that would not fulfill his demands and repair his honor no matter how extravegant would be as valuable as a handful of worms to him.
