donna tartt uses greek words sometimes and the meaning is okay but oreibasia?? "climbing" doesn't make any sense here. i don't think that climbing was part of any rituals or celebrations of ancient greece or anything? and oreibasia doesn't mean walking barefoot or sneaking around. idk this is a minor detail but for a greek speaker this sounds so funny lmao, also KUDOS FOR MENTIONING THE PELOPONNESE YES PELOPONNESUS
