Quest: To bear Christ whither the Lord desires, following the lead of my brother in Christ St. Thomas d'Aquino, fighting valorously to the very end like my heroic ancestor Hector (who of course, as the Tamer of Horses, is the natural model for all those seeking perfection of intellect and passons.

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
A slave will accompany my chariot holding a laurel wreath above my head and whispering at intervals, "remember that thou art only a man."
