| #5 *happy sigh* A long time ago I could recite the first page or so of the Iliad in English, which is not at all the same. How much less clever and educated his listeners must have felt — on what clearly was one of the intellectual shows the BBC is so proud of. |

| #3 As the result of a misspent youth I can assure you that BoJo is fact reciting the opening lines of the Iliad starting with: μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκε, ("Sing, goddess, of the rage/wrath/anger/reallypissedoffedness of Peleus' son Achilles...") You know the rest. Channeling the patriarchy bigly. |
