All Greeks are sodomites? Re: 18-3-'04

THE GREEKS
{Also
Re: 18-3-'04
about the early Dead Sea-divers
in Sodoms earlier myDi-stories
which continue elsewhere:
de Grieken a.h.w.
in opmars en neergang?
Does history 'really' go on
repeating itself
'all' our myDi-time
or not?
And what about Socrates,
Gautama, Yeshu
a.s.o.?}

NOW
while after Solomon
{whose reign was probably somewhen about 960 B.C.}
the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah were suffering destruction and deportation, and while the Jewish people were developing their tradition
in captivity in Babylon
another great power over the human mind,
the Greek tradition, was also
arising .............
*
WHILE
the Semitic Hebrew prophets
were working out a new sense of direct moral responsibility
between the people and an eternal and universal G*D of Right,
the Greek philosophers were training the human mind
in a new method and spirit of intellectual
adventure .............
*
The Greek tribes
as we have told before
were a branch of the Aryan-speaking stem?
THEY had come down among the Aegean cities and islands
some centuries before 1000 B.C.
They were probably already in southward movement
before the Pharaoh Thothmes
hunted his first elephants beyond the conquered Euphrates.
For in those days there were elephants in Mesopotamia {no lamas yet?}
and lions in Greece .............

IT IS possible {?}
that it was a Greek raid that burned Cnossos {after Thera's explosion},
but there are no Greek legends of such a victory,
though there are myDi-stories of Minos and his palace {the Labyrinth}
and of the skill of the Cretan artificers ........
*
Anyway,
like most of the Aryans
these Greeks had singers and reciters
whose performances were an important social link,
and these handed down from the barbaric beginnings of their people
two great epics, the Iliad,
telling how a league of Greek tribes besieged and took and sacked
the town of Troy in Asia Minor,
and the Odyssey,
being a long adventure story of the return of the sage captain,
Odysseus,
from Troy to his own island.




*
These
epics were
all written down
somewhen in the eigth
or seventh century B.C.,
when the Greeks had acquired the use of an alphabet
from their more civilised neighbours,
but they are supposed
to have been in existence
much earlier
.............
*
FORMERLY they were ascribed
to a particular blind bard, Homer,
who was supposed to have sat down and
composed them ........
Whether there really was such a poet,
whether he composed or only wrote down
and polished these epics and so forth,
is a favourite quarrelling-
ground for the
erudite?

WE
need not
concern ourselves with
such specialist bickerings here in myDi?
The thing that
MATTERS
from our myDi-point of view is
that the Greeks were in possession of their epics
in the eighth century B.C.,
and that they were a common possession and a link
between their various tribes,
giving them a sense of fellowship as against
the 'outer barbarians' ...
THEY were a group of kindred peoples
linked by the spoken and afterwards by the written word,
and sharing common ideals of courage
and behaviour
........
*
The epics
showed the Greeks
a barbaric people without iron,
without writing, and still not living
in cities
...
THEY
seem to
have lived at first
in open villages of huts,
arounf the halls of their chiefs,
outside the ruins of the Aegean cities they had destroyed?
THEN they began to wall their cities,
and to adopt the idea of temples from the people they had conquered!
It has been said that the cities of the primitive civilisations
grew up about the altar of some tribal god,
and that the wall was added;
in the cities of the Greeks the wall preceded the temple.
They began to trade and send out colonies.
By the seventh century B.C.
a new series of cities had grown up in the valleys and islands of Greece,
forgetful of the Aegean cities and civilisation that had preceded them;
Athens, Sparta, Corinth {december '66}, Thebes, Samos, Miletus
among the chief .............
There were already Greek settlements along the coast of the Black Sea and in Italy and Sicily:
the heel and toe of Italy was called Magna Graecia ...
Marseilles was a Greek town established on the site of an earlier
Phoenician colony ................

And I'm going to take
my {Muh}aha-capsule {or placebo?} and the last
anti-biotics before starting to eat, drink and take a late break ...
Regards to all myDi-slaves & fanatics:
see you later maybe, or
tomorrow?
Janosch sleeps perfectly every day after being out the whole night!
Fruits are growing visibly in the very green garden:
it's a birds paradise here
for all I know ...
