For people like me, who didn't get it: Euripides: a greek philosopher who'se name sounds like the phrase " Did you rip these?" Eumenides: a tragedy by Aeschylus that sounds like the phrase " Will you mend these"

I love it.

It helps if you give them a really cartoonish Italian accent. 🤌

yeah, i just read them as "eury-pi-des" and "eury-many-dees" which really didn't work at all

Thanks, would've taken me a long time to figure it out without this.
