[Facts] Re: Pagan Days
I was so intrigued by your mention of the sun rising from the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, that I just had to find a picture of this temple somewhere on the 'net. And I did!http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~yychang/Greece.htmlBut alas! What was Lord Byron thinking of when he graffiti'ed that beautiful temple????-- Nanaea

Tsk-tsk. Out your way they'd call something like that "the South Bronx", and avoid it instead of rhapsodizing on it. (Say, is that Yankee Stadium in the background?)

Maybe he was a bad speller, and was bidding farewell to his, uh, "friend", Ron.

I consider Byron's etching more as a treasured autograph than graffiti :)

That's a nice way of putting it. :) Well, I guess Byron earned it, for b*tch-slapping Lord Elgin in verse. :)-- Nanaea
