Deutsch: Ursula Boese (als Jocaste) mit Igor Strawinsky nach der Premiere von "Oedipus Rex" in der Mailänder Scala, 12.06.1963 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Graded a set of exams, a set of papers, calculated grades for my large (235-person) class, submitted grades.  All this teaching is playing havoc with my research.

A colleague points out that in the weaving simile (yesterday's post), the weaving woman who 'stops' the scales the way Ajax 'stops' Acamas is, of course, a Fate.

Oh, and I ordered the Julie Taymor production of Stravinsky's "Oedipus" Oratorio, because it is utterly awesome.
