  • “well, someone has to translate those ancient curses in movies”
  • scream “ΒΡΕΚΕΚΕΚΕΞ ΚΟΑΞ ΚΟΑΞ” and run away
  • “destroy Carthage”
  • start reciting the Iliad and don’t stop until the person leaves
  • “I was thinking of killing a giant in Lebanon, losing my bro and going on a subsequent quest for immortality, what do you think?”
  • say nothing and keep building that sweet Hittite chariot you’re going to use to become a new superpower
  • “I’m going to construct a fort with all the Loeb books I own and never come out”
