11/1: original and translations

Today I had some extra time and so got to work on a translation-comparison assignment for next week.  I got to choose a Greek passage from Sophocles' Antigone and think about how to explain its workings to a class of students who (with one exception) don't know Greek.  And then I got to compile published English translations of the passage for students to compare/contrast.  This is all a good kind of work.
