Hm. Not being anywhere near as well-read in the trad classics as you (except I do like Eliot), I don't know if my drawings will have nice literary references. :( But it will be interesting to see what I can come up with. *Thinks* I have an absolutely horrible record on getting any project done, but I'm about to have the summer off from grad school with no fieldwork yet, so maybe I can make that my summer project..
BTW, did you ever watch Babylon 5? I have a huge crush on Alfred Bester, one of the villains, & when you said Felix was charismatic but also an asshole, I kind of flashed on him. Of course, Felix has a better chance of becoming a better person than Bester. But he has a chance, & is such an interesting & vibrant persona, which is part of why the show & the 3 novels by Greg Keyes are a tragedy for him.
Re: Eliot is talking about that same Philomela there
