Did he really say that?

The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes = GEORGE CARLIN...Stained glass, engraved glass, frosted glass–give me plain glass = JOHN FOWLES...Music is the mathematics of the gods = PYTHAGORAS...Nothing is more fluid than language = R.L.SWIHART

Elliptical Dance Step





All joy to thee
Daughters of Polyanax.


Sappho
born ≈ 610 BC
died ≈ 570 BC






Blogger's Notes
Polyanax ruled the kingdom of Melos. None of his troops were sent to the Trojan War.
Sappho died approximately the same year Pythagoras was born. He ruled the kingdom of Mathematics but as a dance teacher, she taught a beautiful form of Applied Math.
A full-length Sappho poem appears here
