I recently helped [livejournal.com profile] kestrell proof a scan of a book of ancient Greek poetry, and was really surprised how modern much of it was. Did you know that "women shopping for shoes" was a subject for comedy as far back as 3rd century BC? Also, "pretentious people pretending to be awesome at art appreciation", "people who act as their own lawyers", and many others...

Some tropes never get old, it seems. That book sounds great.
