Welcome (and test post)

Welcome to Greek Keyline Blog 2011!

You have just crossed the river Styx and are ready to join Aeschylus and Euripides in a great line contest. Fortunately for you, you don't have to invent your own lines. Much of the time, you will just pick out a great line from whatever Greek writer we happen to be studying in History 440 this week and explain why this line is key to understanding the whole work or particularly worth remembering and applying to real life.

For today, I'd just like to make sure everyone in the class can post to the blog.  Please click on the "comment" button below.  Post here one of your favorite quotes--a line from one of your professors, a favorite novel or play, or (perhaps) from one of your fellow students.

    I've walked across the surface of the sun, seen events so tiny and so fast that they hardly can be said to have occurred at all. But you, Adrian...are just a man. And the world's smartest man poses no greater threat to me than does its smartest termite.
