[excerpt]
"The Iliad, the Odyssey and the Aeneid. Those were written a very long time ago. It's been ages without an epic poem. I intend to write the next one. Achilles, Patroclus, Ulysses, Calypso, Aeneas, Dido. They were all mythologically perfect. We will be full of flaws, even if you look like the statue of a greek god. The only classic thing in us will be love.
To us, the next best Homeric contemporary poem. To me, the Penelope of the situation that will sacrifice as Patroclus and will lose her mind like Dido. To you, the Nobody who will always come home, as a glorious looser or a castaway winner".
