Wednesday, 11/28 - The Odyssey and Iliad without the Windex ; )

*P&P

*Today we begin a Windex-less version of Homer's epics . . . smashed together, inverted-ly, in one package of Roman rule and reign over the whole world. Ironically, this is the very milieu or matrix into which our Lord was born in a manger and which implicitly critiques the Roman way of "lording power," a Gentile way to rule, not Christ's gentle way of rule. I do so hope you enjoy this fabulous read.
