The Number Three is an Amazing Number

celticeagle @celticeagle (165954) • Boise, Idaho 27 Nov

The number three is a number, the smallest odd prime number, and what probably first comes to mind is the Holy Trinity(the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost) It represents the realms we occupy: earth, water, and heaven. It...

Too old to learn?

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5952) • Greece 15 Feb 22

After living in Greece for over ten years I have finally decided to bite the bullet and try to learn the language. It is a difficult one, and that is not just my opinion. However it is an interesting one and some of the medical...

Gamophobia (MyLot Exclusive #554)

Greg @xander6464 (43896) • Wapello, Iowa 15 Jul 21

I always thought that Gamophobia was a fear of PAC-MAN and/or Grand Theft Tractor (If you live in a big city instead of out in the country like I do, you might play a popular but lesser-known variation called Grand Theft Auto) or...

Greek-Italian Pride

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29370) • Sonora, California 9 Apr 20

I always knew the name Greco literally translated to Greek so I can't say I was all that surprised when my uncle did his DNA and it showed a good percentage of the ancestry as Greek that I was surprised, but my Uncle really wasn't...

Weird Word Wednesday- Orphic

Diana Bauder @BloggerDi (3113) • United States 13 Mar 19

"Orphic" is a new word to me. It has an interesting origin. Some definitions say that it means "relating to Orpheus or Orphism." I enjoyed learning about Greek mythology in high school and reading several of the well-known...

Weird Word Wednesday: Chionophobia

Diana Bauder @BloggerDi (3113) • United States 17 Jan 18

I learned a new word today! Chionophobia. It's a very timely one, at least where I live. Chion is the Greek word for snow. I don't have a phobia of snow at all. But the only thing I really like about it is the way it looks. It's...

Interesting book...

Francine @beenice2 (2967) • Sackville, New Brunswick 19 Mar 17

2 weeks ago I found a good book on Greek People. It is about Greek past history.. Good for studying, good subject. One thing that I am sure about, is, I will not learn the language. Too complicated. Not that I am negative...
