Girlish giggling in the library.
I've started on my next mammoth reading course - general introduction to the NT. At the moment I'm working my way through 'Backgrounds of Early Christianity'. So I just read this sentence and couldn't help the grin as I remembered the last time I came across this particular manly man:
'The Persian advance was slowed by the valiant Spartan resistance under their king Leonidas at the pass of Thermopylae...'
Funnily, it doesn't mention their valiant attack on the werewolves a few weeks ago. *grins*

The Greeks always prized male good looks and much admired the physically perfect male specimen - especially evident in the athlete.
Mmm.
This sentence surprised me at first:
...the Romans were too slow to accept Greek athletics.
But now I see it actually says
...the Romans too were slow to accept Greek athletics.
