Sophocles, Dollhouse, and academia.edu

I spent Thursday evening updating my listing on academia.edu, and decided to upload a few conference papers, if I had any lying around that I was unlikely to write up for publication, but that people might be interested in reading.  In the end I settled on a few that were more likely to be of interest to non-classicists.  So I have uploaded one on Helen in the Penelopiad, and one on Atanarjuat and the Oresteia, in addition to the old "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Greek Hero Revisited" which is by far the most widely-read piece I have ever written.  On looking through my other conference papers I found another that might interest Whedonites, on Sophocles and Dollhouse, but it isn't in shape to be seen yet (quite literally; I can only find the outline, and it needs rewriting).  So that's what I've been doing today.  

Was this what needs to be done? Or, to put it another way, was it the most urgent of the tasks before me? Well, hardly.  But in fact that paper raised some very interesting questions, at least for me, and it is a pleasure to think through some of them again.
