What the description of Sphacteria has to tell us
#56
Quote:Giannis, Something that many of us who speak english do is simply adopt the singular form of the greek, such as Aspis or Porpax, into english as a loan-word.

English is like that. In fact it is much like those camp followers: a proper tramp.

Problem is, it is also very much like many involved in the current finacial crisis: it borrows but rarely gives back. Just ask the French or those descendants of the Latin tribes about Rome.
Paralus|Michael Park

Ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας, ὦ κακαὶ κεφαλαί, τοὺς μετὰ Φιλίππου καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τὰ ὅλα κατειργασμένους

Wicked men, you are sinning against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander!
