We talked about Aeschylus' Agamemnon in Myth today. I haven't included it in the syllabus for a number of years (since I love using Prometheus Bound for our Aeschylean text), but I'm glad I opted for a switch this semester. The conversation was good, and we ended with some creative brainstorming about adaptations.
On a whim at the last moment, as I was heading out of my office for class, I decided to bring along my box of miniature Pegasuses, in case anyone wanted one (or two or three). I told them that no one was obligated to take one, but a lot of people did, and just offering them loosened up the class. Plus it was nice to be able to offer them a goody on a day when we were working with a tricky text.
