Anna studies archaeology and enjoys extreme characteristics in other people, either an extreme political belief or something extreme like learning a musical instrument. That is why she’s always trying to do new things that interest her, and consequently to do a lot of different things at the same time.

Her favourite ancient Greek play is Euripides’ Alcestis for its beautiful text and because, although it is considered to be a tragedy, many of its moments are presented in a funny way, in contradiction to Euripides’ other tragedies.

However, she identifies herself with the chorus of Okeanides, because they are very close to human nature, who ask for an easy solution, but in the end choose the right and difficult way.Okeanides feel empathy towards Prometheus’ agony, initially proposing him to obey in order to free himself. However, in the end they follow him to his suffering.
