"The Poetics" by Aristotle is a good place to start on the study of ancient Greek literature...

Then there are the great plays by Aristophanes, and Sophocles, etc.

Salute,

Leviticus 19:33-34

33 When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.

34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.


Song of Salomon Brothers 1991

I stripped the "img" tags since they weren't doing anything and prevented my explanation from making sense to somebody not quoting your post.

FB has a limit for how long their URLs work for images - there is a timestamp built into it. I need to remember this myself. So, basically, save the image to your own device and then upload it to our page. Or save it to your own website and link it that way.

good thought for conservatives since the foreigners seem to like joining the GOP.
