I don't remember if we actually read Medea in high school, or whether we just talked about it. We read it in my Greek and Roman drama class at Rice.
I'm sure River read The Iliad and The Odyssey.
What makes you say that?

tommy's attempting to stay on topic; isn't that cute.
I was going to attempt the same by comparing the adventures of the Serenity crew to the Odyssey, but I lacked inspiration.
I got excerpts from the Homer stuff in college. Medea and some other dramas in high school. Lots more Greek drama in college. (And we studied some of the Greek plays too!)

We watched a really bizarre production of The Birds. It was...bizarre.

Well, there's traveling after a war. And cunning. Cunning can be used as a noun, right?
But no home to go to or Penelope waiting.

Maybe Mal has a Penelope and he just doesn't know it.

Mal is tricksy like Odysseus.
There's a "Persephone"...although I don't think she's in The Odyssey.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I was in an interesting production of The Birds. I played The Poet and Iris the Swift, a small-time goddess.

Sean Bean, who played Odysseus in Troy, does promos on the Sci-fi channel, which currently airs Firefly every Friday evening.
(Or did we stop playing the association game already? I'm always late to the party.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
How does one correctly pronounce "Sean Bean"?
