The officer who was a cyclops
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 04:00:29 -0700
Not so long ago I had a dream about the security officer who is seemingly omnipresent in the library. He is a tall man (~6'4?), with a round stomach, long arms and legs, and a face reminding me of the actor who played Callabus from Clash of the Titans. * So in the dream: I am held hostage in the secret basement of the library, and the officer is a veritable giant, just like Polyphemus the Cyclops from the Odyssey.

Let us praise Boris

MARY JACKSON lavishes praise, reserved with doubts, upon London's new mayor, Boris Johnson.

(GREEK NEWS AGENDA) Homer : Where is Ithaca described in detail in Homer’s Odyssey? The island of Ithaki, most have assumed. But Homer says that Ithaca is “furthest towards the dark,” i.e. the west, a group of islands. In their fascinating albeit controversial award-winning best-seller, published by Cambridge University Press in October 2005, titled “Odysseus Unbound: The Search for Homer’s Ithaca”, Robert Bittlestone, enthusiastic Homerist, geologist John Underhill, and classics scholar J
