    That could/would make sense.

    The show's original creator, John Milius, is almost certainly a Beta and probably SLE in my opinion. Still, I think that there was some Gamma input since the historical consultant, Jonathan Stamp, is LIE (very obvious from his interviews in the DVD).

    For an account of the same events from a Gamma-biased point of view, there is the novel Antony & Cleopatra, just published, by the ESI Colleen McCullough. She wrote a whole series of very accurate novels on that period.

    I don't know. I haven't really read a lot of fiction, either.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    ~a certain mysterious power that may prove terribly fascinating to the extraverted man, for it touches his unconscious.

    Samwise Gamgee from "The Lord of the Rings"
    Rebecca from "Ivanhoe"

    I try to identify with one character in every book I read. If I can't, I decide the book is stupid and stop reading it.

    Interesting that it takes some effort. The ethicals have thought up very long lists by contrast

    'Identify with' means to sort of group together in the abstract, does it not? If it's a mere linking from admiration or desire to resemble a romantic character, that's perhaps more understandable, but it's a bit surprising that many people can relate their images of themselves to multiple protagonists and main characters

    Tbh I've decided one of the major flaws shared amongst forumites lies in this heroic self-delusion, and for this reason, typings have become not only unclear but also sort of fraught

    I appreciate your choices btw.
