Greetings,

I just thought I would post a quick note to let everyone know about Frank Holt's new book, "Into the Land of Bones: Alexander the Great in Afghanistan".

It might be an interesting read for some of you who enjoy Holt's work.

Of course the sources say that- the myth was a myth even then... but entry was forbidden to most people. And fantasy is often better than reality- at least where harems are concerned!

Actually, the cry "alalai" would have been cut distinctly short.. also called a "zag'areet" or "za'eet", it requires pushing the sound from the throat while vibrating the throat muscles- try *that* while being pierced by an arrow! It would sound more like "alal-uh&...

Greetings, The body of ATG had become a symbol of power, so his final wishes were not granted. It is interesting that folklore held that if the time came when a king was not buried in Makedon, the kingdom would fall. Folklore today still holds that the body will bring power to whomever possesses it,...

Greetings All, we am working hard to get this ready.. be patient- I have an antiquated system- I have to use someone else's computer to even respond to the Forum. I believe the article will be interesting- it covers a lot of ground and goes over current theories, some well-known, others not. And yes...

Greetings Marcus, "Get a move on"?? If you saw what this has become, you would be graoning. Now it is a matter of making it a reasonable size for Pothos. And of course, getting the photos/sketches of the modern breeds. "Marcus Varius, where are my breed photos?" sounded the cry, ...

Greetings and thank you, Yiannis. Unfortunately, I am working on an antiquated system so all I get is numerals and gibberish instead of Greek- when I manage to get anything at all According to Prof. Menagatos (Agricultural U of Athens) there are 8 breeds: Pindos, Skyros, Pineian, Andravidas, Messara...

Greetings- Sikander here. I am seeking some photos of current Greek horse breeds to go with the article on horses (yes, it is now in the cutting it down to a reasonable size stage- it turned into a huge project ). I have photos of Pindos and Skyros breeds, but am seeking a good photo of Andravidas a...

Well said.
