    Well, I would imagine it gives you a small break from the academic stuff as well Richard. Do you ever break for coffee ?

      Ha ha, very funny! First off, I do not drink coffee, just to be a pain in the butt, only tea.
      But you are RIGHT, I am awfully OBSESSIVE! ha ha!

        Well ! I think its catching because I am getting obsessive too. I think I shall be learning Linear B for the rest of my life now.

    Love these frescoes, hope there’s more to come.

      Yes, there will be, eventually. I love to post photos and frescoes and stuff like that
      every now and then, to liven things up a bit, and to give folks a break from all that
      artsy-fartsy intellectual stuff they have to plough through in most of the rather
      academic posts! As if…!

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.

Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
