I just finished reading the Iliad. There's an unintentionally silly bit at the end of the wrestling match between Odysseus and Great Ajax, during the funeral games for Patroclus. It struck me as so odd that I decided to write a short, funny story around it. (Note: Familiarity with the Iliad is not necessary to enjoy this.)

Here it is: Conundrum of the Prizes

Gratuitous links: Goblins: I'd describe it as yet another fantasy gamer comic, but that's a different comic (and a decent one at that). "Goblins" got really good after a while: Keep reading; it's worth it.

[livejournal.com profile] leora reminds us of what the election is about.

Have you noticed the link on Goblins to the live web cam of the artist drawing strips? Neat idea, though I'll probably never access it.

I noticed, but I decided that, as neat as that might be, I didn't want the spoilers. So I'm staying away from it.
