I've been looking at that Kindle download myself. The price is certainly right, but my reading list is pretty full at the moment.

It certainly sounds like a worthwhile page. Of course that series would be chock full of such things, as no doubt would Justinian and Thessalonica and  Household Gods and "The Horse of Bronze." Gorgidas and sometimes Scaurus threw such references around, and they would turn up once in a great while in other, modern stories.

I don't know about you, but unfortunately, I'm not likely to pick up on the allusions (unlike the Shakespearean) unless someone flat out says "As Sophocles out it, . . . " I could get super-famous ones like saying somebody has an Achilles Heel.
