Jennifer Proxenos October 18, 2020 at 6:37 AM The spreading of the Greek culture and language we owe mainly to Alexander the Great about 330 BC - he rode through the East conquering countries and masterfully ruling them with the Greek language. Love your poem by Greek Gal Pal! Blessings, Jennifer.

Tom Cunningham October 18, 2020 at 2:26 AM We've certainly got to thank the Greeks for all the words they've given us, but for them we'd be grunting at each other lol.
