Being a pedantic classics man.....and for the info of anyone who didn't spend seven years slaving over Latin.
It's a paraphrasing of the phrase "timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" ( I fear the Greeks even when they come bearing gifts) spoken by the priest Lacoon im Vergil's Aeneid, when the Trojan horse is spotted outside the walls of Troy.
Now, if they'd left a 28" Obsession, I'd have helped pull it in.
Anyway, I'm an avid lover of all things Greek, and Antonis's shots are gorgeous. kala!

Better that old people should die of talk than to have young people die in war.

I really should revise my Latin - haven't touched it since the Inter Cert - nearly 34 years ago.

He'll smack you, Dave.
Hercules is Roman. The Greeks call him Heracles.
Not much of an imager, though, compared to Antonis.
