Hats off to the “Arlo & Janis” classical literature fan club! Haven’t heard the chorus from “The Frogs” (Euripides?) for AGES! Reminds me of that corny joke: the guy takes his pants into the tailor, who asks, “Euripides?” and the guy responds, “Yes. Eumenides?”

Meg doesn’t seem at all anxious to me. She only acts like she’s eager.
