I dont think proclaiming yourself a descendant of the Trojans means you consider yourself a greek.

Reply to comment by supagirl277 in TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower
Correction, it was the babies being born and sucking the prick out of her finger (cause they were looking for a teat to suck on) that revived her. Imagine passing out at a loom one day and then waking up in the middle of nowhere covered in blood (from the birth) and freshly birthed babies crawling all over you. Poor girl got a raw deal.
