Must be that hell-fire sermon the Pentecostals preached yesterday--I can feel the flames licking at my feet. The temperature for tomorrow is expected to hit 100ยบ F! Hope the air conditioning and Ontario Hydro can keep up with it.
More comments on The Iliad. Even accounting for artistic licence, the descriptions of the noble soldier's battle armour sounds more like something we'd today expect to see displayed in an art gallery than on a field of battle. Shields, breast-plates, and greaves encrusted with precious stones, gold, and silver! No wonder attacking warriors stripped their opponents on the field of battle. Makes me wonder, wouldn't soft metals such as gold and silver weaken body armour?
