Another Greek historian within our midst.
So, are you implying that Lex went after Lois only because he saw that *Clark* liked her, and not because of Superman? It's possible. It would explain their animosity for one another, and why Lex went after Lois even before Superman came onto the scene. First defeat Kent (by winning Lois), then go after Superman. Very perceptive.
I wonder what would have happened if Lex recognized Clark's ability to stand up to Lex in Superman this early on... at least by the end of this episode. Hmmm. The games have certainly begun.
Herodotus's History is one of my favorite ancient texts. It's like travel guide and historical novel all rolled up into one. May I also recommend Plutarch?
And here I had hoped you had picked Xerotic (which if you look up the definition isn't as sexy as it sounds).
