which of the "two fates" would you pick?
"If I hold out here and I lay siege to Troy,
my journey home is gone, but my glory never dies.
If I voyage back to the fatherland that I love,
my pride, my glory dies...
true, but the life that's left me will be long,
the stroke of death will not come on me quickly."
I'm reading The Iliad for Lit. currently, and this topic struck my fancy. So I'm curious.
EDIT: ahh....i should have inserted a poll.
