I think everybody knows that James Bond briefly studied ancient languages in Cambridge; it is mentioned in one of the first novels, when Miss Moneypenny reads the file on 007.
I always liked the idea that Bond must have followed a course of ancient history from A.H.M. Jones, and like the thought that the author of The Later Roman Empire was, as a young man, called Indiana.
Today, I read Ellery Queen's Egyptian Cross Mystery (not recommended), and guess what the detective has been studying? Ancient history again.
