I've only read some of the Odyssey and some of the Illiad but i fully intend to read tons more since greek plays are love~ same way i intend to read lots of Shakespeare (its in the basement, i might as well read it) when i have time.
from what i've read so far, the Odyssey is my favorite. as for favorite character... ive no clue. but from what youve told me about Tiresius he's the coolest XD

Tiresius is in the Odyssey - you'll see him soon (although he is dead, Odysseus goes to hell to visit him)

I could have listed all of the Greek plays I've read... but I'll do it some other time, too many. I tend to like these, and Shakespeare; the characters are so unfortunate, which makes it easier to relate to, and then some parts of them are just so impossible. rofl In Hippolytus, the sea gos Poseidon is going to kill someone, so he makes a wave rise up. You would think the wave overtakes the guy, right? Nope, a bull comes out of the wave and attacks him! 3nodding

you know, I think I read that - but I wouldn't remember... I've read too many books now to remember them all. Shakespeare is okay, sometimes. Wait - I just remembered, I have listed every book I have ever read somewhere... I am gonna go find that list.
Alright, my newest additions based off of the list:
Theatetus
Iphigenia at Aulis
Orestes
Rhesus
Medea
Hippolytus
Electra (Euripides, rather then Sophocles)
Helen
I have also skimmed the works of Seneca, Tacitus, Virgil, and Xenophon~

Nice list, I need to buy more sometime, probably over the summer. Anyways... I see you've read Phoenician Women. I believe that's the one where Creon's son (Megarius?) sacrifices himself sometime around the whole Seven Against Thebes thing. If so, do you own it, and can I borrow it? I must know the horrible fates of everyone having some form of relation to Oedipus.
