I have been to Troy and to Greece.
When the Greeks destroyed Troy, Aeneas escaped alive, carrying his father on his back, and in his arms his son Ascanius (Illius). He embarked upon a long and dangerous voyage around the Mediterranean. During his wanderings, Aeneas landed at Carthage where he met and had a love affair with Dido, queen of Carthage.

If I am not mistaken, Troy is in Turkey? So there is some relevance?

Yeah I know, but she always shows them out of the blue! Without any extra comment as to why. But I don't mind, I love to watch them!

Chantal, I have been to Troy/Truva/Troja.
When the Greeks destroyed Troy, Aeneas escaped alive, carrying his father on his back, and in his arms his son Ascanius (Illius). He embarked upon a long and dangerous voyage around the Mediterranean. During his wanderings, Aeneas landed at Carthage where he met and had a love affair with Dido, queen of Carthage.

They're always such interesting stories. I'm still looking for a sort of 'beginner's course into Greek mythology', but up until now I only found some books (but haven't got much time to read them).

I've been to the British museum in which they also had a lot of ancient things related to Greek mythology.. Amazingly beautiful!

Quoting Roswitha:

What are rabbles? We call a group of out of control people a "rabble"

and did you know that the film "Troy" was filmed in St Georges Bay, Malta?
