I was just reminded of the time in college when my professor tried to insist that King Minos and King Midas were the same person and I corrected him automatically before realizing what I'd done. I expected him to explode at me, but he was like, "Huh I'll look into it." The next class, two days later, he opened class with, "Sara was right, actually, about Minos and Midas. They are two different people."
And the reason I was able to correct a man with a doctorate when I was 19 was because of the fucking Muppets Classic Theatre movie and a mythology book from 2001 my mom bought for a tattoo reference.
