Waiting...

erato schrieb am May 14, 2009:Thank you, I'm going to check, I'm sure it will be interesting. Achilles was one of my favorites in the Iliad. He, at least didn't spend 15 years on the sea, running after women when his wife worked for long nights on a never finished carpet so that he wouldn't lose his tiny little island:D

erato schrieb am May 12, 2009:What is the article in this Ancient Magazine of Warfare is about? And of course, can I read the magazine on the net or it is graved on stone?:D Just kidding, but I really think it's interesting.

Wazling schrieb am May 5, 2009:Ok, forgot that the net offers you a wide range of possibilities. But you know, when i have been down at rumania, i couldnt understand anything. :)

erato schrieb am May 4, 2009:Yes, I was quite busy, this community is great, it's nice to meet others who like to travel and share experiences.:)

Wazling schrieb am Apr 30, 2009:Hast du die armen Studis wieder mal gequält! Uns gings doch da ähnlich, wir habens auch nicht gemocht! Denk nur an die Lateintexte in Mittelalter beim Schmidt!

erato schrieb am Apr 29, 2009:Well, you might be right reguarding the education, but those who study these 'non-profit' mostly do it because some kind of commitment. I don't know how is it going in Germany but here isn't too much money in archeology if you are not Sidney Fox, if you know what I mean. Oh, and I'm into lyrics-you refer to Erato, I presume. By the way, I liked your galleries.

erato schrieb am Apr 28, 2009:Well, there are quite many history and archeology majors at universities so it's not a lost cause yet.

erato schrieb am Apr 27, 2009:Unfortunately not, only an admirer of history:)
