My bachelor's is in literature, and I don't regret it at all I have taken so much from it but the one thing that really stays with me is that without fail I'd have at least one course with the Lliad and the Odyssey. The Iliad more frequently. I have read the Iliad at least five times and by the third time it was so funny to me I couldn't stop laughing.
I just imagine Hector running for his life, Achilles chasing him, I mean can you imagine how irritating it is to have to chase this guy around a city so many times and he's just out of your reach meanwhile the city is watching this from up on the wall, and they go 'Hector come back inside', and he's like No I gotta do this but he's too scared so he just keeps running and they go around and around like fricken tom and Jerry.
I have tried to explain this to people in my life and they just don't get it, But the imagery just dawned on me on that third reading and I was cracking up for DAYS. I would absolutely kill him when I caught him for that stunt, and that made it even funnier to me bc I was with Achilles on that, I'd be so angry once I caught up to you.
Then Achilles takes Hectors body and drags it around the city which made me laugh harder because I'm thinking dude you made me chase you around this city so many times that is exactly what someone who had to chase a guy all day long would do.
