books of the Ancient World - search/destroy

Steely Dan serendipity from Euclid's Elements, Book XI, prop. 31:

Let DR, WU be drawn through and meet one another at Y, let aTb be drawn through T parallel to DY, let PD be produced to a, and let the solids YX, RI be completed.

I have the T.E. Lawrence translation of The Odyssey lying around waiting to be read. I thought 7 Pillars was good but it was years since I read it.

Also really want to read Lucian's proto scifi.

Read the Pancachantra last year which was interesting.

Lucian is fun. Follow it with cyrano di bergerac's similar flght of fancy.

I have a copy of the Cyrano de Bergerac around somewhere.

Thanks for the discussion, guys---you led me to this good article: http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/proto_sf, incl. link to entry re Cyrano.

My Bergerac is a second-hand Folio ed of the Aldington translation which has nice Quentin Blake illustrations, too
