It really sucks that schools and universities take something as amazing and entertaining as Greek mythology and makes it as boring as possible.

They teach it at the grade school level and remove all the sex... and Greek myths are like 90% sex.

One of my middle-school English classes handed out a list of Shakespearean insults and paired us off to stand up in front of the class and have, essentially, a rap battle trading insults appropriate to the person. I was paired off with a girl I legitimately didn't like very much and I got a little bit personal with her and she fired back with absolute venom. I'm not gonna lie, she fucked me up. I remember she called me "hind-bred."

My courses weren't censoring anything-- all the sex and murder was included. It was just that we were plowing through 1500 pages of material instead of say, doing close analysis on like half of that.
