"Until the deed is done, all words are wasted."
Euripides' Medea

Eric's right... reading for myself does seem like a guilty pleasure after months of reading assigned works. So, unfortunately, the closest book to me was the one I'm currently using for my other report this weekend. Medea, for those who haven't immersed themselves in Greek Mythology anytime in the past three months, is the wife of Jason. As in, the wife of Jason and the Argonauts, quest for the golden fleece- yeah, her.

And at that point in the play, she is ready to kill her husband. You see, after chopping up her brother, and killing her father to get Jason out of her homeland, she was taken back to Greece with Jason. They had two sons, and everything was going just fine until- Jason gets a better offer than his barbaric wife. She gets banished, he gets a new princess. What man wouldn't take up that offer?

So, I guess it works. At any rate, it makes a great standalone line. I think I'll put it on my resume.

No, no I won't.
