Her large black eyes dilated, and with passionate intentness she looked from the gaily ornamented galley to the shore, which several men in Greek costume were approaching. The first two had come from the large white house whose door, since sunset, had been the principal object of her attention. It was Hermon, the taller one, for whom she was waiting with old Tabus.
Logotheti understood at last. 'No, he said, 'I never heard of it. But if that is the case I may be able to do something not that I'm considered orthodox at the Patriarchate! The old gentleman has been told that I'm trying to revive the worship of the Greek gods and have built a temple to Aphrodite Xenia in the Place de la Concorde! 'You're quite capable of it, observed Griggs. 'Oh, quite!
But when he can be moved, he must be in the country good food, fresh air, things to amuse him he's a jolly little chap!" The surgeon laughed out. "Oh, we shall bring him through." He added it almost gaily. "He is so sane he is a Greek!" Philip Harris looked at him, uncomprehending. "How long before he can be moved?" he asked bluntly.
The third item in church worship, according to Acts 2: 42, is the "breaking of bread," or the Lord's Supper. This was the most important thing in the early church service. The Greek article "tee" here indicates that it was on every first day of the week that they met to break bread and this is confirmed by I Cor. 16:2.
"Greek Prose, Mansell 19th; Greek Translation, Mansell 19th; Combined Order, Mansell 19th." A roar of laughter. "Well, Mansell, I don't think that a titter from your companions is a sufficient reward for a week's bad work."
I do not know what "Que voulez les messieurs?" means, but such was his remark. Our general said, "We will take a whiskey straight." "Well, if you don't know what that is, give us a champagne cock-tail." "Well, then, give us a sherry cobbler." The Frenchman was checkmated. This was all Greek to him. "Give us a brandy smash!"
Phases of the history of the world flashed through her mind Greek and Roman wars, dark, mediaeval times, the crimes in the name of religion. On sea, on land, everywhere shooting, stabbing, cursing, clashing, fighting men! Greed, power, oppression, fanaticism, love, hate, revenge, justice, freedom for these, men killed one another.
But the Romans were ready for another battle, and in this they fought so stubbornly and killed so many of the Greek soldiers that Pyrrhus cried out, "Another victory like this and we are ruined." In a third battle, which took place 275 B.C., he was defeated, and returned to Greece, leaving the Romans masters of the Greek cities in Italy.
What! was he to lose his hold over these boys, and that because he was unable to cope with a boy much smaller and younger than himself? Perish the thought! It nerved him to desperation, and he prepared for a still more impetuous assault. Somewhere in his Greek reader, Hector had met with a saying attributed to Pindar, that "boldness is the beginning of victory."
Josephus, moreover, regarded the Parthians as familiar with Hebrew, or Syro-Chaldaic, and wrote his history of the Jewish War in his own native tongue, before he put out his Greek version, for the benefit especially of the Parthians, among whom he declares that he had many readers.
