φύντα θρηνεῖν εἰς ὅσ' ἔρχεται κακά·
τὸν δ' αὖ θανόντα καὶ πόνων πεπαυμένον
χαίροντας, εὐφημοῦντας ἐκπέμπειν δόμων.

I am working on Athenian theatre in the Peloponnesian war (end of the 5th century BC). I'm so deep in the topic i can't read the word geek correctly anymore^^ there are immediately pictures in my head, of those people living in a complete different world, resulting in a mindset a modern person can barely imagine.
