, Republic Behind figures of heroic legend often stand real men.... As for Palamedes, the Greeks especially knew one thing about him: he was so clever that he devised a way to write down Greek speech.... In Palamedes we may have found the adapter's very name....

As he held his loyal and loving wife, he cried. Just as it's a welcome sight for swimmers when land appears, men whose well-constructed ship Poseidon has demolished on the sea, as winds and surging waves were driving it, and a few men have swum to shore, escaping the grey sea, their bodies thickly caked with brine, and they climb gladly up on land, evading that disaster, that how Penelope rejoiced to see her husband. She simply couldn't stop her white arms holding him around the neck. Odyssey |
