my high school latin teacher would be devastated to find out the extent to which my classical mythology knowledge has degraded. please forgive me, svetlana 

lol sometimes i forget that already knowing exactly what happens can make a story even MORE stressful & heartwrenching. this characterization of achilles was some good horror. the words sure are pretty though.
