The Secret History, margin note 2, Chapter 1
Julian's office, aka "the Lyceum" – The English noun lyceum comes from Latin Lycīum, Lycēum, from Greek Lýkeion, the name of a gymnasium in southeast Athens with a neighboring sanctuary of Apóllōn Lýkios/Lýkeios. The area was one of the places where Aristotle used to lecture and Socrates used to ask his good-humored but troublesome questions. It basically means "lecture hall," but it also means "a place where performances are given". This second meaning is apt for Julian's classes as Julian and Henry often seem to feel they are acting out parts of a Greek tragedy, blurring the lines of illusion and reality. SPOILER! (This sense of performance is evident on, for instance, how Henry feels more "fresh" or "refreshed" after the bacchanal.)

The Secret History, margin note 8, Chapter 5
Les Chats – When Julian invited Richard for lunch to talk about Bunny (Chapter 5), he served four-course meal with a bottle of ”maddeningly delicious“ wine: "There was roasted lamb, new potatoes, peas with leeks and fennel; a rich and almost maddeningly delicious bottle of Chateau Latour." At first I thought that Donna Tartt picked Château Latour for this scene to support the leitmotif of chess, since 'la tour' is not only a tower, but also a rook in French but then I saw this logo that said: "GRAND VIN DE CHATEAU LATOUR PREMIER GRAND CRU CLASSÉ PAUILLAC", with a tower and a lion on top of it (Picture 1). – Considering the way this novel is constructed, there can't be any unintentional details, especially like a random lion on top of a tower. So, plus one big cat to all that feline fuss in the novel, popping-up out of the air like the Cheshire cat. Or like Henry Winter. Cats in the novel are a symbol of Dionysian madness, lion in particular is one of Dionysus' sacred animals. And a rook represents relatively straightforward Bunny in this game. SPOILER! A lion on a rook appears to be an ominous sign of Bunny's progressing madness and future death. This wine was "maddening", indeed.
