wonderful stuff.


we all grew up loving and learning about greek mythology. but at some point we start to forget as we move on in life.


so it is just wonderful to revisit and refresh our memories again.


it inspires the mind.


I have always been a bit of a student of ancient civilizations. in fact we have a section at Camelot on ancient civilizations.


there is a lot of work left to be done there of course.
