The Pythons were classically educated Oxbridge graduates. If you've ever had to study Greek or Latin in school, that scene is absolutely hilarious.

I had to translate part of a Greek tragedy for a class once. I stumbled over one word and after a couple hours finally figured out the root and found it in the big Liddell Greek-English lexicon. It had one entry referring to the exact line I was looking at with a surmised translation, because that was the only known occurrence of the word in ancient Greek literature.

Not a serious Greek scholar so I sold my Scott and Liddell about 10 years ago to someone who could use it for something other than a library decoration, or, of course, a booster seat! :)
