Ok, today is June 29th. I have until noon July 9th to read "The Iliad," Euripides' "hecabe", "phenecian women", and "orestes", Sophecles' "antigone", "oedipus tyrannus", and Senica's "thyestes", and "oedipus."
Does anyone think it's posible to read all that in one week?

Well, perhaps if you give up eating and sleeping...
It could be worse; you could have to read them in the original Greek. Who's making you read them?

They're the preliminairy reading material for a pair of week long seminar/classes I'm taking at dartmouth college. The courses are intended for classical language teachers who are seeking continuing ed credit. I found this out after signing up. In any case, i'm now at the beginging of book 20 out of 24 of the iliad, and it's tuesday night. Therefore I'm hopeful about being able to finish them in time. You're right, if I had to read them in greek It'd be hopeless, primarily because I dont know greek. I studied latin, and even that I was mediocure at.
