I read the Iliad by Homer a while ago. Besides thinking it was a really dull book, there was one thing that caught my attention: King Priam of Troy has 50 sons. Doin' the MATH that means 100 kids presumably. Wow.
Just imagine having hundreds of kids... mother of god.
Another thing that made me happy was the sentence:
"Jove heard as he was sitting on Olympus, and laughed for joy when he saw the gods coming to blows among themselves."
Seriously.
