The classics

Apparently, 2010 is the year of the greek classics. I started in January with Aristophanes, tonight Oedipus and maybe Antigone next month...

The questions? The same as always: democracy, corruption, war, peace, responsibility, law, principles, honour, the city, the countryside, the public, the private, love, deception, sex, lies, strength, weakness... Being blind when we think we see; getting blind when we actually see... Living with the torment of knowing. Would it have been better had we not known?


And what about when we are constantly asked for less? To think less, to feel less, to do less, to ask for less, to care less, to want less, to be less... That´s a different (lesser) tragedy. Or comedy. It depends on the mood...
