Yeah.
Okay, you did more of like a khairete.
So should I get, okay, I'm going to do that.
All right, I will.
Khairete.
Greetings.
This is the daily speech of the Gray Lady.
I was trying to sound like a news, like, you know.
Yes, I like that.
I was trying to match Natalie's.
Yes, definitely.
Well, my mother, who was an English major and a librarian and also loved mythology, started reading me little pieces of the Iliad and the Odyssey as bedtime stories when I was pretty young.
And I fell in love with it.
I wanted more and more.
In particular, the thing that really grabbed me was actually Penelope's trick.
That was one of the pieces of the story that as a kid I remember loving because her trick is that the suitors are trying to kind of force her to choose one of them to marry.
She's waiting for Odysseus to come home.
And so she tells him, OK, I'll choose after I finish weaving the shroud.
And then, you know, she weaves it.
And then at night she goes and unravels and then she weaves it and unravels it.
