Ding! Ding! Ding!

In Xenophon’s Symposium she is called “the hardest to get along with of all the women there are.” and “It is the example of the rider who wishes to become an expert horseman: “None of your soft-mouthed, docile animals for me,” he says; “the horse for me to own must show some spirit” in the belief, no doubt, if he can manage such an animal, it will be easy enough to deal with every other horse besides. And that is just my case. I wish to deal with human beings, to associate with man in general; hence my choice of wife. I know full well, if I can tolerate her spirit, I can with ease attach myself to every human being else.”

Nai, I am Xanthippe!

Good one, KO!

I was actually thinking of Xena, Warrior Princess but I’m sure your answer works just as well - not that it matters now, in any case. Good game, good game.
