Things Oliver remembers from college:

  • a quote from the Odyssey
  • who Charon is

Oliver paid attention in ONE (1) class and it was a Greek mythology elective.

Listen, Oliver was almost certainly a business major because the expectation would have been that he would one day take over Queen Consolidated.

And that is my new head canon-- the REASON Oliver never cared about his classes and flunked out/got kicked out of four schools is because he was stuck in whatever classes business majors take. He should have majored in English or history or literature or something where he studied languages. Then he would have been fine.

FINNICK ODAIR, DISTRICT 4, WINNER OF THE SIXTY-FITH HUNGER GAMES

[...] but it was too late. He was already a good fighter with the spears and knives he had found in the Cornucopia. When he received a silver parachute with a trident—which may be the most expensive gift I've ever seen given in the arena—it was all over. District 4's industry is fishing. He'd been on boats his whole life. The trident was a natural, deadly extension of his arm. He wove a net out of some kind of vine he found, used it to entangle his opponents so he could spear them with the trident, and within a matter of days the crown was his.
