About Barbarus hic ego sum, quia non intelligor ulli.

"Ein philosophisches Werk kann fordern, daß man nachforsche, um es zu verstehen, aber eine Dichtung, von welcher Art sie sei, bringt keine entschiedene Wirkung hervor, als wenn sie in sich selbst alles enthält, wodurch sie allen Lesern, in allen Momenten, einen vollkommenen Eindruck geben kann." -- Goethe

About this user

In Greek Antiquity women held that position which the most supreme will of the polis assigned to them: for that reason they have been glorified as never since. The images of Greek Mythology are their images: the Pythia & the Sibyl, as well as the Socratic Diotima are the priestesses out of whom divine wisdom speaks. Now one understands why the proud resignation of the Spartan woman at the news of her son's death in battle can be no fable. Woman in relation to the polis felt herself in her proper position, therefore she had more dignity than she has ever had since.

If haply one has seen my Cato's house,
His shingles stained with red,
His garden over which Priapus watched...
So Beware! The Guardian God watches over
My garden too........ MARTIAL
