Yeah, Greek and Roman mythology. Great fun :) It got a little boring when I had to remember all those facts from Roman politics in the age of Caesar and Cicero, but mainly because I kept confusing stuff from WW1 in History :laugh:

Have to include this bit of information I found researching the Parthenon:

 

"These relief sculptures, larger than those of the metopes, occupied the triangular space above the triglyphs and metopes. Those at the west end of the temple depicted the contest between Poseidon and Athena for the right to be the patron deity of Athens (Athena's gift of the olive tree was preferred over Poseidon's spring)."
