well, i just wanted to stop by and show-off a little...

as a greek and a dude that taught art history for many years i'll give you this little tidbit;

mesopotamia = 'land between 2 rivers' in both ancient greek and modern greek. the ancient greeks looked to the ancient near east (and egypt) as cultured civilizations and took many of their ideas as springboards in creating 'western civ.' this isn't covered much in US curriculum.

many of the 7 wonders of the ancient world were located in these parts.

now modern greece is a whole different topic! there is a good ancient greek word to describe it's current state; katastrophia = catastrophe.

lou- i'm with you on the meds. i don't think any of us here want to take 'em. but, for some they are life saving. others, maybe not.
