Do you ever think about how Chiron never saw Patroclus and Achilles again? Sure he heard the tales of the Rage of Achilles and Patroclus' Sacrafice. Sure, he did his job, he trained them to be heroes and so they died as such. But to him they will always be boys made for music and medicine. He will stay timeless and their names will stay timeless and everything will be as the Fates intended and he will continue to live on Pelion awaiting the next hero to send to their doom, and he will never seen Achilles and Patroclus again. He trains and raises heroes and he'll train and raise more and then they'll leave and leave him and his life will continue. He does not wait, he has done this song and dance too many times to be that foolish, but he does wish, as he lives on Mount Pelion with the ghosts of boys yet known to the world, boys who only embraced music and medicine.

I think one of the most beautiful things about learning an ancient or dead language, is the pure humanity thereof.

You could do or learn something more functional, sure, but you're taking time to understand the essence of a people long left behind in time.

These people, now dead for centuries or even millennia, wrote things down and in doing so, said:

"I was here, remember me"

And here, eras later, we take time to decipher, read, and understand it, to say into the void of their existence:

"We see you, we know you, you are still alive."
