Joe - doing years of Greek at school we not only learned about Glaukopis Athene (the owl eyed) and Hera Boopis (the cow eyed), but also about Aphrodite Kallipygos, albeit she is better known as Anadyomene (the foam born). That goddess with a real beautiful butt will never be forgotten by the impressible memory of the young soul is evident.

Useless knowing? I never thought good poetry useless, and to understand it we had to learn a lot of typical adjectives (epitheta ornantia) to know of whom the poets spoke.
