	The Greek Language

	The John Addington Symonds Pages
		The Homeric poems were the Bible of the Greeks, and formed the staple of their education; nor did they scruple to wrest the sense of the original, reading, like modern Bibliolaters, the sentiments and passions of a later age into the text.
		This lad, born in the decay of Greek liberty, took conscious pleasure in enacting the part of a Homeric hero on the altered stage of Hellas and of Asia, with somewhat tawdry histrionic pomp.
		Thus, the testimony of Greek art might be used to confirm the asseveration of Greek literature, that among free men, at least, and gentle, this passion tended even to purify feelings which in their lust for women verged on profligacy.

	George Papadopoulos
		George Papadopoulos (Greek Γεώργιος Παπαδόπουλος, Georgios Papadopoulos, (May 5, 1919 – June 27, 1999) was the head of the military coup d'état that took place in Greece on April 21, 1967 and leader of the military government that ruled the country during the period 1967 - 1974.
		At 1946 he received the rank of Captain and at 1949, during the Greek Civil War, he received the rank of Major.
		The trial has been criticized for procedural irregularities, allegedly flawed evidence (including problematic "Soviet" decrypts), and its military nature (the Greek state was not in a declared war against a foreign power, but rather a domestic insurgency— which was, however, supplied from abroad).

	Osprey - Greek swords and swordmanship
		Above all else, the Greek hoplite was a spearman protected by his bronze-covered shield, fighting in a 'phalanx' of spearmen formed up in a line so many ranks deep.
		Nevertheless, they filled a real gap in Greek military training, which was only remedied at Athens in 335 BC when the reforms of the influential politician Lycurgus improved the system of hoplite training by, among other things, contracting specialist instructors in different skills-at-arms.
		The earlier Greek swords were multi-purpose and were designed for use in the cut-and-thrust of a duel with a single enemy after the collapse of the phalanx.

		True Greek aviation began much later-in 1911 when the Ministry of Military requested applications from officers to be trained in aviation.

	ASPECTS OF WATCHFULNESS AND COMMAND IN THE 1590s MILITARY CAMP AND SHAKESPEARE'S HENRY V
		Yet he does not distinguish between salient features of the military camp of the very early sixteen hundreds from those of the military camps in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds as examples of rupture or the onset of a new type of series or system of relations in his own historical analysis.
		I also suggest that underlying the detailed and manifold discursive constructions of the military camp as a secure power base there lurks the spectre of powerlessness that was terrifying to those writers of the 1590s who made war their subject.
		In a military context, Henry might think that his disguise will allow him to acquire greater control through knowledge, but in fact the kind of knowledge he gains cannot be mobilised in the coming fray and therefore does not constitute executive power.

	Victor Davis Hanson on War & Iraq on National Review Online
		Thus it is nearly impossible to recall a similar advance that has traveled so far, so fast, with so few losses, without major shortages of fuel, ammunition, and food — and without being parasitic on the surrounding countryside.
		Its very success allows the engine of freedom and capitalism to create an enormously affluent and sometimes smug class that forgets how and why its comfort is maintained in the present and ensured for the future.
		Twelve years ago we had the patina of U.N. support, plentiful allies, more troops, and a limited mission; now we are trying to take an entire country with half the old forces and alone with the British and Australians.

		The dominant system is called Linnaean taxonomy, which includes ranks and binomial nomenclature.
		Formed by combining the Greek βίος (bios), meaning 'life', and λόγος (logos), meaning 'word', the word "biology" in its modern sense seems to have been introduced independently by Gottfried Reinhold Treviranus (Biologie oder Philosophie der lebenden Natur, 1802) and by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (Hydrogéologie, 1802).
		The word itself is sometimes said to have been coined in 1800 by Karl Friedrich Burdach, but it appears in the title of Volume 3 of Michael Christoph Hanov's Philosophiae naturalis sive physicae dogmaticae: Geologia, biologia, phytologia generalis et dendrologia, published in 1766.
