Segueixo en la meva era clàssica. La història ja la sabia de català de 3r d'ESO, del Javi (o Xavi), però llegir les paraules traduïdes de Sòfocles en persona és molt diferent. No m'esperava una tragèdia tan tràgica dels grecs (error bastant gran en retrospectiva).

Had to read for school. It's the first greek play that I've read, and it was pretty cool. I definitely want to read more greek plays.
