"wdym my daughter wouldn't care about the work I'm doing" well first of all she's 8 and doesn't have an Agamemnon fetish

Son of Nobody you will never be Samuel R. Delany's "Phallos"

I don't like reading about men's midlife crises. Who reads a forgotten Homeric epic about the slaughter at Troy and annotates with "this is just like me missing my estranged wife"

imagine asking a cute girl what her major is and she says "business" and you immediately jump in with "How is business interesting to you? I've always found the transactional nature of commerce dispiriting. You buy so you don't have to relate. You buy distance."

if this happened to me, it would be like watching him shoot the conversation in the head in front of me

"A daughter missed, a wife aggrieved, but a treasure to be found – how strangely my fate seemed to echo King Agamemnon's" (65)

yeah I hope she stabs you to death while you're taking a bath to complete the parallel

This protagonist sucks so bad. Stop talking about the Oxyrhyncus Papyri while your family is getting ready for school, they don't care. I actively enjoy Greek history and even I'm annoyed.
