No worries, I'm (generally) not affected by spoilers. Luckily, yes we have subtitles here.

Oh, honestly havent seen the movie yet. I assumed this was Sinon, the greek soldier that convinces the Trojans to take the horse inside the walls.

I mean, the whole point of this character is to be a non-threatening lying "deserter". Then again he only appears in the aeneid not the odyssey, so we dont know how Homer would have depicted him.

Words like "dozen" (but also eleven and twelve) are a relic of using a base 12 counting system. Used by a lot of (proto)germanic cultures. It was common to count the the bones in your 4 main fingers (using the thumb as a counter) instead of counting to ten with just fingers.

Hell yeah, Harry Frankfurts "On Bullshit" in the references. Can recommend!

Doch weh! Die Flamme faßt das Kleid,
Die Schürze brennt; es leuchtet weit.
Es brennt die Hand, es brennt das Haar,
Es brennt das ganze Kind sogar.

Ah yes, makes sense that it is Rousseau. They where always pitted against eachother as the two State of Nature/Social contract philosophers. Thanks for the added lore!
