If they ever tell my story, let them say I walked with giants

Men rise and fall like winter wheats. But these names will never die.

Let them say I lived in the time of Hector, tamer of horses. Let them say, I lived in the time of Achilles

People post Greece as an aesthetic whether it's our mythology or our beautiful islands. Now we need you more than ever. Our country is literally burning, we have no help, no resources and new fire fronts are developing each hour and heading towards villages. People and animals are in danger. The fires are not going out and it's windy. Please share this, spread awareness. Greece is always first to send help when other European countries are in need of help. Please share.

Even though I'm not from there, Greece has and always will have a special place in my heart. Please help them out if you can. They desperately need it.

Scylla

Scylla was originally a Oceanaid residing with the others under the sea. Glaucus, a fisherman turned deity, happened to fall in love with her. He then asked the witch Circe to brew a love potion that would make her fall in love with him. Circe, however was enraged by this, seeing as she herself was in love with the minor god. Unsatisfied with the turn of events, she brewed a potion and poured it into Scylla's bath water, which then turned her into six-headed fiend monsters and men grew to fear. Scylla fled to a narrow water channel and took up residence on one side, the other inhabited by the monster Charybdis. It's said that when a ship passed through the channel, each of the snake like heads whips down and snatches a sailor from the deck. Ships cursed with a slow pace would sometimes have double the amount of lives taken. Scylla is mentioned in Homer's epic poem The Odyssey which tells the story of Trojan War hero Odysseus as he struggles to return to his homeland of Ithaca. At one point, Odysseus and his men came upon Circe's Island (seeing as she had been exiled to solitude after her crime.) She advised him to sail closer to Scylla than Charybdis, seeing as she would cause less damage than the latter. Heeding her advice, Odysseus only looses six men and is able to continue onward through the channel. For more detailed descriptions of Scylla's place in mythology, see the Odyssey and any account of Circe's life among her nymph family.

Okay but seriously, how did Troy fall to a wooden horse? I mean, if you think about it, mythology says that the Greek's "retreated" from their camps and left a wooden horse outside the gates of the city. After warnings from King Priam's daughter, Cassandra, fell on deaf ears, the horse was brought in. Under the cover of night, the Greek's emerged from the statue and sacked Troy from within. All of this is to say, it was pretty dumb of them to not check the horse, so they fell willingly into their enemies hands.

Moral of the story: check your damn horse

I want to go and find antique bookstores and beautiful coffee shops with cobbled streets. Actually I want a library with a secret doorway disguised as a bookshelf that leads to a large , hidden place , where i can go and hide forever and maybe i found a way to a strange ancient world.
