I'm interested in the new Greek translations. I definitely didn't know they exist.
For what it's worth, every one of my English Lit teachers who talked about the history of the novel cited Genji as the first example of a truly "modern" novel. I'm having a fog as to names at the UO, although my two High School English teachers, Ken Myers and Melba McConnaughey, cited it... Greek and Latin though? No, not really. They mentioned that it was possible, as so much was lost though, which is, apparently, something most profs neglected.
Oh, by the way... HI JOSH!! (If you remember me. I'll always remember you sailing through larps singing "Valderieeeee, valderaaah..." and no one getting it. )
