Welcome to the Land of Myth

I want to sit here and read.....
pondering thoughts.....
Homer claims that the hero Odysseus
came from the Greek island of Ithaca.....
Homer, the Greek poet and writer
describes Mount Athos
as being the home of the gods,
Zeus and Apollo,
before they moved to Mount Olympus.
Imagine this.....
The Greek town of Kavala
is where Brutus and Cassius retreated in 42 B.C.
to regroup after assassinating Julius Caesar.
Alexander the Great
was born in Pella, Macedonia in 356 B.C........
The Temple of Poseidon
is very near Athens
at Cape Sounion....
Poseidon, god of the sea.
There is so much ancient history here,
it boggles the mind.

Blessings
