“Funerals are pretty compared to deaths.” / elisavet → lucanis

Send me a sentence starter - from A Streetcar Named Desire

"I'm inclined to agree with you," he said. "I haven't seen much beauty in my line of work, although I have known of Crows who speak of it in poetics. It is all, as they say, in the eye of the beholder."

Lucanis had attended many a funeral in his life; the most glamorous always belonging to Talons who passed. These were ever the events of the year: Crows and politicians and merchants alike would convene to pay respects and be seen, to network and announce alliances. To cut deals and lay the groundwork for future contracts. All more of the usual.

For a Crow, funerals were just more business with less actual blood involved.

"Are the funerals in Nevarra quiet?" he asked, shaking his mind back to the present.

Democracy and the Battle of Marathon Paperback – Illustrated, 5 Nov. 2010

by Spyros Mercouris (Author), Elsi Spathari (Author)

“The Battle of Marathon, with the resounding victory of the Athenians over the Persians in 490 BC, is a landmark in Greek as well as global history. It was a battle not just between two armies but between two civilizations with totally different value systems. The Greeks' triumph in the Persian Wars (490-479 BC) was the outcome of their common struggle, for the first time, as a nation to defend their fatherland and the supreme ideal of freedom. The new political system of Athens, Democracy, succeeded in bringing able statesmen and military leaders to the fore, so creating the preconditions for vanquishing the foe. Through the pages of the book unfold, eloquently narrated and lavishly illustrated, the historical events and their impact on the development of Hellenic culture and the enhancement of its power, dissemination and longevity over the centuries.”

Spyros Mercouris (1930-2018) was a Greek political and cultural figure, brother of the famous actress and politician Μelina Merkouri, with participation in the resistance against the dictatorship of 1967-1974.

Elisavet (Elsi) Spathari is Greek archaeologist and historian.
