Aren't these pictures so pretty? I love them. They're taken by a high speed water camera made just for this kind of thing. Man, I wish I had one of those! :)
Homer is your favourite ancient greek! He wrote the epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Here are some Iliad and Odyssey quotes.
Look now how mortals are blaming the gods, for they say that evils come from us, but in fact they themselves have woes beyond their share because of their own follies.
(This is interesting...think about it for a while.)
He knew the things that were and the things that would be and the things that had been before.
(Why it's important to study History(my favourite subject (other than maybe chem) :D))
A generation of men is like a generation of leaves; the wind scatters some leaves upon the ground, while others the burgeoning wood brings forth - and the season of spring comes on. So of men one generation springs forth and another ceases.
(Does this mean that we cannot control our destiny?)
The gods, likening themselves to all kinds of strangers, go in various disguises from city to city, observing the wrongdoing and the righteousness of men.
(Be careful!!! That teacher you despise-just might be a god in disguise!)
That's all for Homer quotes, folks... stay tuned for more later (?)
I promise to post more often! I just had a busy week :)
Love,
