Does Biden Envision Obama as A Second Hercules?
About.com's Guide to Greece,
deTraci Regula, alerted me to the fact that Joe Biden, U.S. Democratic
Vice Presidential candidate, referred to Obama as cleaning out the
Augean Stables if and when he enters the Oval Office. See So, Just Where Are the "Augean Stables"?.
Had I heard Biden's use of the term, it would probably have passed me by because the "Augean Stables" are a staple of my vocabulary, but deTraci is right that we should give credit when politicians show a familiarity with the Classics.
