Summary

In this humorous quote, the speaker comically expresses their astonishment by questioning who else might have experienced such unprecedented excitement, apart from themselves. By playfully comparing their level of 'ravished' state to that of individuals who were taken captive during the epic Trojan war, the quote highlights the speaker's exaggerated sense of being overwhelmed or enraptured by an experience. The use of sarcasm adds an amusing tone to their self-centered proclamation of having encountered a level of excitement beyond anyone else's.
