Pindar is the most painful Greek I've ever read. My calculations from a year or so ago, when I was preparing for my Greek exam: in the same amount of time, I could do 150 lines of Pindar, 275 of Aeschylus, or 400 of Sophocles. Even my advisor finds him difficult. Which isn't to say that he's not pretty amazing when he wants to be.

I feel like I should know her name. She was Spartan, I think, (predictably), but I can't pull out anything more than that.

Wikipedia tells me that a stade is c. 600 feet. Shows my level of expertise.

The exam is past. I'm sure it'll be bouncing around in my head all night long, darn it. But it went well.
