Classics/Foreign Lit, Period 2, 2/23

Dream sits cross-legged on his desk as the students file in. He appears mildly irritated.

"Hello, students. I hope you all find it fair that you are in this classroom today, and that you properly appreciated the lesson with Mr. Chaucer on Tuesday."

Classics: You have had a week to read the Homeric Hymns of Hesiod. Is there a hymn that you especially enjoyed reading? Why?

Also, your midterm will be next week. It would serve you well to review your Greek grammar in advance of the test.

Foreign Lit: Select an Italian Poet other than Dante. Write 100 words on their life and work.

You too will have an examination next week.

"I thought the hymn to Demeter was especially poetic," said Janet. Also, Cronos's son--and by extension, Cronos--weren't portrayed in a particularly pleasing light. This was always a good thing to Janet's mind.

"Why are you asking about the fairness of our being in class today?" asked Janet. "The lecture from Professor Chaucer was interesting."

Dream shook his head. "It seems as though some students at this school have an interesting notion of fairness, Miss Frassier. I should not have brought that into this class."

"I'd just like to point out that life isn't fair," said Janet. "And I was just confused by what you meant, that's all."
