Ello!

The greeks definatley had a habt of being bi-sexual! In the Illiad Achiles is said to be in love with the boy that impersonates him, I cant remeber his name. I'll come back and edit this when its not so late. There are many other refernces to homosexuality, we had the most part of a lecture on it!

Have you read anything by any of these writers? Theres a link below that i have just found on google that has links to to some of their work. Also use an encyclopedia to find out when they were alive, and the politcal climate at the time, and see if you can find anything that reflects this in their work. Well thats how I'd start off anyway! Clicky

Argh this is getting confusing because the two titles are so clsoe together! I'm doing the second one though.

I agree with band of brothers - epsecially the episode they liberated the concentration camps

I have ALWAYS loved history, right from an early age. I must credit this to my Mum and Dad for dragging me around countless ruins and castles every Sunday as far back as I can remember. This made me think about the past, and I have always been of curious nature. Some of my earliest books were children's books on Ancient Egyption archeology, and books on the war - which I was really interested in as my Dad was born in an airaid shelter in London during the blitz! So I credit everything to my parents! what about you?

I have not got the foggiest!

Im sure there is a painting of a roman feast, with two goats having sex in a picture int he background of the painting - I cant remember whether its a modern painting though, or one recovered from the walls of the ruins.

Yes i agree they suck! I like the format of forums like this one, so you can browse, see who's about etc.

This is the religion the Three Wise Men followed i think.

What other history based forums do you use? I'm interested in all areas of ancient and classical history, and this site is fantastic, but I'd love to find some for Egypt, Greece etc etc aswell!

Nero is one of the most intersting to read about! I wouldnt say he was the best though.

I'm 22 - and feel quite shocked everytime I say my age. I'm nearly the next one up - but we'll not talk about that hahah!

I'm 22 too! What is your university like? I LOVE talking to people from universties in different countries, I would have liked to have a year abroad studying - but I started uni a little late and will not graduate until I'm 24, and I didnt want to be any older than that! what do you want to do with your degree and phd when you are done?

I challenge you to show me one single "great empire" that has NOT killed, destroyed and acted pretty damn badly at some point in it's history?
