Post drifts valet observatio
I've got an MA in Classics, but as a Hellenist, I don't get to flex my linguistic ὁδός-cred as much as I'd like at the local kebab van.

My French teacher once asked me to decline a noun . . .
. . . so I politely said "No thankyou, not for me"

In re Caesar's Gallic Wars, i seem to remember that the winter comes early in these parts because Gaul as whole faces north. And in Troy, didn't someone or other fear Greeks bearing gifts?
Was that the Pubic Wars?
Reminds me of the English officer with a degree in classical Greek in Captain Corelli's Mandolin. When he attempts to converse in Greek, the English translations are all 'thee's, 'thou's and 'dost thou doest's. Unfortunately, they left it out of the movie.
