Oh I think I would have enjoyed being in Greece. I seem to remember the people in the Odyssey spending lots of time eating lamb and drinking wine (for the sake of argument this would be drank the way that the Ancient Greeks did) when they weren't busy doing epic stuff.

Like sitting on their arse all day long in the sun with no worries, thinking about the way of things. Yeah, I see myself doing epic things while sipping wine and eating lamb and olives with some stone-baked bread, all delivered up to you by your servants.

Or other typically ancient Greek activities... Possibly also involving arse... But which I do not see myself doing...

Oh, the epicness!

Yes I would certainly hope to have avoided the man-boy love aspect of higher learning.

So, you went to a catholic university then?

Same way as hunter gatherers and nomads always did and still do today. They live of the land.
