KOKTEIL ILIOBASILEMATOS!
SUNSET COCTAILS!
While we toast the setting sun with bottomless glasses of OUZO, & I finish my preparations for the Night's revelries, here's an amusing passage from Aristophanes on my name~sake.
“It was men of ours~~~I do not say our polis.
Remember that, I do not say our polis~~~
but some badly~minded, troublemaking creeps.
Some worthless, counterfeit foreign currency,
who started denouncing shirts from Megara.
And if they spotted a cucumber or a bunny,
or piglets, cloves of garlic, lumps of salt?
It was Megarian: grabbed & sold off that very day!
Now that was merely local; small potatoes.
But then some young crapshooters got to drinking
and went to Megara and stole the whore Simaétha.
And then the Megarians, garlic~stung with passion,
got even by stealing two whores from Aspasia.
From this the origin of the war broke forth
on all the Greeks:
from three girls good at B~J's!
And then in wrath Olympian Pericles
did lighten and thunder and turn Greece upside~down,
establishing laws that read like drinking~songs . . . ”
