St. Augustine Post
Augustine was standing at the bow of the trireme, a gift from one of his most dedicated listeners. He had been preaching afar and was returning home with a smile of his face, though his ailment tolled him so. He could taste the salt in the air and it reminded him of the swift winds that blew in Hippo, his homeland. He had finally made it home. He decided he would praise in the temple when he returned to thank God for his surviving his sickness so far. It had been bad enough this time it forced him to return home. Land was spotted.
Within the hour he was on land again and from there he found transport home. The day was long and he had rested a time before he made his way to the temple. On his way he thought he saw dark beings on the horizon, but he disregarded it as a hallucination. As he opened the large double doors of the temple his aching bones creaked. He coughed and pain seared through his inflamed chest. He had decided he would need some time to himself to pray, so he threw a 2 x 4 on the hooks on the door to lock it.
Just as he kneeled to pray someone ran up to him from a passageway in the temple. He must have been in before Augustine locked the doors. He huffed and puffed from his run. He then gathered his wits and spoke. "Father, help, please."
"What is it you need?", inquired Augustine.
"My friend is ill and I believe you can cure him." was the reply
"I'm not sure I can, m' boy. If I could cure people I would have done so to myself by now. "
"I was told in a dream to come to you for help", stated the worried man.
Augustine now knew what to do. He stood up and was led to the worried man's sick friend. "Thank you so much", he said. "By the way, my name is Adam. My friend is Francis."
Along the walk to Francis, both Augustine and Adam thought they might have heard marching and low screams from afar, but they waved it away as little nothings in their ears. They looked at the weapons hanging on the walls and Augustine sighed. He had tried to convince the clergymen to take them down, but they just kept putting them up. When they arrived Augustine laid his hands on Francis, who looked very ill and shaken. He was bright red all over and unconscious. Augustine closed his eyes and recited the Lord's Prayer 7 times. When finished, he raised his hands. The man was looking normal again and woke up.
All were amazed, but there was little time for excitement. There was a large thumping sound from the corridor they had come from.
Augustine quickly started away to figure out the source of the noise and Adam and Francis followed. He took down a broadsword form the wall and casually walked with it to the source of the noise, the front door. He sensed danger. Adam and Francis felt it too and grabbed one-handed axes from the dusty stone walls.
This brought back to Augustine thoughts about his horrible past…
He had been the worst child a mother could know, he had done worse things than one could imagine, he had been completely horrible. He stole, he lied, he cheated, the whole 9 yards…It came to mind because he was fairly experienced with such weaponry because of these deeds.
Thank God for his mother, who prayed for him day and night the whole time…her prayers eventually came true. Augustine saw the light…
He so hoped that his fears were not true. He had heard of the Vandals pillaging and purging the area of everything, burning the cities to the ground and slaughtering all in it. He knew they were somewhat close, but they should not have arrived yet…
He would need to open a door to his terrible past, but he was afraid he would unleash something far worse than any Vandal.
They arrived at the door and it was being beaten in. They readied for the attack.
The door came down in the temple as the companions inside came down upon the Vandals. The Vandals were armed with spears, javelins, and for the elite, long swords.
Francis slashed down the closest Vandal with one swift swing, but did not regain balance in time and was taken by an elite, who took his head clean off.
Adam faired a little better, taking down two before being surrounded. He gave a valiant effort, but one axe against three javelins did no good.
During this time, Augustine had taken down 5 men and was continuing on his onslaught. He decided he was doing this for the temple, and all the religious books it contained.
Augustine stabbed one man arm and told him to leave before he was hurt even more. The man didn't listen and within seconds had a severed arm and a gash across his back. The blood flowed like the Nile. Not just because of what Augustine did to the Vandals, but what the Vandals reeked upon the city.
Augustine was regaining a thirst for such excitement. He searched out the closest elite and challenged him. For every attack of Augustine's, there was a parry by the elite. Longsword to longsword the battle was heated. Augustine faked a thrust to the left and jabbed at the right, finding a mark just below the Vandals heart. He thrust inward the elite fell. He pulled up the other sword and roared.
Augustine was crazed. The blood was as precious as ruby jewelry. He wanted more…more…
He would need some way to justify his actions, though, if he survived. He would tell them he was trying to save the town, that's it. He would look out the Vandal leader to finish it (although he wanted it to never end).
He boldly walked towards the leader, who was marked by armor far better than the rest and weaponry above all the others. The leader was atop a hill, surveying the field and aiding in the battle at the same time.
Augustine wiped the smeared blood of his swords on the ground and wiped the sweat from his face. His weak bones hesitated for a second, and cramped. He wasn't as young as before. He would probably not win this battle, but he would fight with honor.
He walked up to the leader and twirled his swords. The leader gave a gruff laugh and drew two javelins. The leader has distance, but eventually Augustine shattered the two staffs of the javelins. The leader drew a spear and a longsword, and slashed Augustine across his hip and side. Augustine beat the man across the face with the broad of one of his swords and toppled him. He crossed his swords in a X across the neck of the leader and prepared to do off with his head.
Suddenly a pain seared through Augustine above all others. A sword could be seen through his stomach. The acid spilled out from it and scorched his innards. Blood flowed from his wounds and his limp body fell over the incredulous leader.
The Vandals finished their assault and moved on, leaving a battlefield spewed with dark speckled blood and dead bodies.
Augustine's lifeless body laid with white knuckles from his grip of the swords, and he rigor mortised in that position. He was found with foam at his mouth…

Engineering Achievements
Since the beginning of the civilization, Rome has made great strides in the field of engineering. Romans constructed bridges across the Tiber River. They also made aqueducts to ensure Rome's supply of water. Romans created sewers and drainage systems to drain the Forum and keep the city healthy. These were all amazing feats at the time.
Another amazing feat is that Rome was the first place to construct roads. They then connected the Empire further by creating such pathways. These roadways were so well designed that they still are around today.
This all supports the arguement that Rome's greatest acheivement has been in the field of engineering.
Unfortunate and Abnormal Births

Dionysus-Dionysus was born from the very thigh of his father, Zeus. This occurred after Zeus' lightning consumed Dionysus' mother, Semele.
Hades-As soon as Hades was born, he was consumed by his father. His father Kronos thought that his children would try to overthrow him and therefore ate all his children except Zeus, who was hidden from him.
Hephaestus-Hephaestus was born from Hera without intercourse with Zeus. Hera then saw how Hephaestus was a cripple, and was ashamed. She cast him down from the heavens. Hephaestus eventually gained revenge.
Zeus-When Zeus was born, Rhea hid him from Kronos. She wrapped a blanket around a rock which Kronos thought was Zeus and which Kronos ate.

A Gift Bearing Greeks
In Asia there was a great city, Troy. There lived the king Priam. Paris, the son of that man, took the beautiful Greek woman Helen. Because of that crime many Greeks came up to Asia and they were waging a bitter war for a long time with the Trojans. However, they had not been able to overcome the wall of the city. But then Epeus, one out of the Greeks, that man gave counsel: "If we make a great wooden horse and we will give to the Trojans, we go to be able to conquer: the Greeks truly conceal in the horse."
"He does not teach well," called a Greek and that man made an ambush without delay. After the battle Aeneas, leader of the Trojans, called, "We see no abundance in horses; we lead it into the city." Therefore, the Greeks were able to conquer. Bad fortune was perceived beforehand and they fleed out of our city.

Heroes-Herakles, Perseus, Theseus
Herakles was an Argonaut who left the expedition after losing his friend Hylas. Herakles showed much prowess against beasts and animals. His most difficult are named the 12 labors. Herakles died, but his father Zeus gave him a place on Mount Olympus anyway. 
Perseus was the son of Zeus and slayer of Medusa, a Gorgon. Perseus rescued Andromeda, who became his wife, on the way home from this adventure. Perseus accidentally killed his grandfather, which fulfilled a prophecy.
Theseus slew the minotaur, but on his way home he made a horrible mistake. He forgot to fly the white sails of victory. His father, Aegeus, seeing black sails, kil

led himself, thinking that Theseus was dead. The Aegean Sea is believed to be named after his father because that is where he drowned himself. Perseus and Pergasus
What if Perseus had tamed Pegasus after it sprang from the neck of the slain Medusa? What would have become of Bellerophon, who had an obsession with taming the beast? We begin with the slaying of Medusa…
Perseus watched as Medusa's decapitated head slid off her body. He put the Gorgon's head in his bottomless wallet and began to walk away, but as he did heard a faint neighing. He turned to see a white, winged horse stretching its wings and standing for the first time. It seemed to have sprang from the neck of the dead Medusa. This was strange. Perseus easily caught the beast and put it in his bottomless wallet as well. He intended to make it his own.
Perseus' story continues as before. He rescues Andromeda, they get married, he accidentally kills his grandfather. There is one minor difference. Every day at the time when the sun is at its highest, Perseus trains the winged beast (he named it Pergasus, partly after himself) at the foot of mount Olympus. He plans on flying to the gods at the top of the mountain.
Perseus tames the horse. He then trains it to obey him, taking off on command, turning on command. Perseus is proud of himself. He decides in that moment of pride to abandon his winged shoes on the bottom of the mountain. He decides that he will not need them any more. The next day, he plans to make his ascent.
Bellerophon, who has been stalking Perseus and observing him, finds the winged sandals. He plots to stop Perseus and make the ascent himself. Bellerophon has had a burning obsession with taming the horse, and every once in a while sneaks into Perseus' stable and talks to the horse. He now knows what he will do…
Perseus equips himself with all of the weapons and other items he had with him for his fight with Medusa. He plans to offer them to the gods, before he makes his journey. He burns all of the items, except his wallet and his sword, because they wouldn't catch fire. He decides to offer the wallet personally and to leave the sword. On command, Pergasus rises and takes flight. Perseus decides to take it easy in the beginning and move slowly.
Perseus spies a white dot below him getting bigger and bigger. Perseus had played right into Bellerophon's trap. He had even given him a sword that couldn't be bent or broken. Bellerophon reached the height of the Pergasus. Perseus begins to ask who he is and why he has his stuff when Bellerophon attacks. Perseus senses this and urges Pergasus higher. Bellerophon misses his target and plunges the sword deep into the side of Pergasus. They plummet toward the earth.
As they both hit the ground, the dead body of Pergasus lands on the incredulous-faced Bellerophon, crushing him instantly. Perseus begins to laugh. His wallet lands on the ground, empty. He stares at it curiously. He could have sworn he still had something in the wallet…What was it again?
Medusa's decapitated head lands on the ground in front of him. He turns to stone before he even realizes what had happened...
In this story, the gods have turned their back on Perseus. He had taken the beast of Poseidon which was intended for Bellerophon and had used it as his own. He had also abandoned the winged sandals of Hermes. He then dared to try to reach the top of Mount Olympus of his own accord. Living on Mount Olympus is a privilege only the gods possess and can give. Bellerophon was wronged, but was malicious. He had grown crazed in his obsession. The gods figured "two birds with one stone."
What a time for the gods to use proverbs...

Chapter 10 Test part 2
Nisus and Euryalus
Aeneas was leading the Trojans against the Rutulians. While it was night and the troops were sleeping, the leaders of the Trojans of the camps were having a planning session. Nisus and Euryalus, Trojan youth, dared to come. "Oh great men", says Nisus, "if you send Euryalus with me to the Rutulian camp, not only will we kill many men, but we will also snatch much loot out of that; for sleep has them." I praise the spirit and the courage of these rough youth!' called out Ilius, the son of Aneas. "Good-bye!"
Now Nis and Euryalus come into the camp of the Rutulians. They kill one, then many others. Euryalus antches a decoration, the other helmet. With that loot they flee. But Volcens, the leader of the Rutulians, sees those Trojans and calls the other Rutulians. The splendor of that helmet leads them to Euryalus. Nisus sees this danger and dares to protect his friend. He kills Volcen, but before that he kills Euryalus. Then they overcome the other Nisus; that body falls on top of the body of Euryalus.
Vergilius writes this whole story and these Trojans get perpetual fame.
Aurora and Tithonus
the goddess Aurora was loving Tithonus, a handsome hero. Therefore, she goes to Jupiter: "Oh king of hte gods", she says, "hear me!" My Tithonus is not a god; after a few years he will come to old age. If you will give that man perpetual life, I will always praise you." Foolish Aurora! You do not see the great danger of that gift. Jupiter gives Tithonus immortality, but that man, as long as he lives, he grows old. Time flies: Aurora is beutiful, Tithonus is not handsome. The body is no longer well,it is wrinkled and bent; his wisdom in spirit does not remain. What will Aurora do? Will she be able to restore the form of Tithonus? She thinks and takes consultation: Oh Tithouns, my love! You will change into a cricket; then you are able to bable wihtout blame. You live in that cage, I always love you."

Perseus~Slayer of Medusa!
In Greek mythology, Perseus was the hero who slayed the Gorgon Medusa. Perseus was the son of Zeus, and the grandson of the king of Argos, Acrisius. Acrisius was warned that he would be killed by his grandson, and he cast Perseus an his mother into the sea. They drifted to Seriphus where Perseus grew to manhood and was eventually sent away by Polydectes (king of Seriphus). Polydectes feared that Perseus might interfere with his plans and gave him a mission to bring back the head of the Gorgon Medusa, whose glance could turn men to stone.
Aided by Hermes, the messenger god, Perseus used winged sandals, a magic wallet, an invisibility cap, a sword that couldn't be broken, and a shield that could protect him form being turned to stone. Perseus found Medusa, killed her, put her head in his bottomless wallet, used the invisibility cap to get away from the other Gorgons, and used the winged sandals to fly towards home.
On his way home, Perseus rescued the princess Andromeda from being sacrificed to a sea monster. He then wed her. Once home, Perseus used Medusa's head to turn Polydectes to stone and saved his mother. They all returned to Greece, where Perseus accidentally killed his grandfather Acrisius, fulfilling the prophecy.
Perseus achieved his kleos for his heroic deeds.

Aurora and Tithonus
The goddess Aurora loved Tithonus, a handsome hero. Therefore, she came to Jupiter: " Oh king of the gods," she says, "hear me! My Tithonus was not a god; a few years afterwards he will come to old age. If you will give the perpetual life to this man, I will always praise you." Foolish Aurora! You do not see the great danger of that gift. Jupiter gave Tithonus immortality, but that man, as long as he lives, he will grow old. He flees time; now pretty Aurora, Tithonus is not handsome. The body wrinkled and bent, he is no longer well; wisdom in spirit does not remain. What does Aurora accomplish? Will she be able to restore the form of Tithonis? She thinks and takes consultation: "Oh Tithonus, my love! You change into a cricket; then you will be able to babble without fault. You live from this woman in a cage, and you I always love."
Nisus and Euryalus
Aeneas lead the Trojans against the Rutulians. As long as it was night and the troops were sleeping , they were holding the leader of the Trojans in camp planning session. Beside these men Nisus and Euryalus, Trojan youth, dare to come. "Oh, great men". Says Nisus, "if you all send me with Euryalus beside the camp of the Rutulians, not alone we will kill many humans, but also much loot we snatch out of those camps; those truly have sleep." "I praise the spirits and courage of the rough youth!", Iulus exclaimed, that son of Aeneas. "Good-bye!"
Now Nisus and Euryalus come into the camp of the Rutulians. They kill one, then many another. Euryalus snatches one decoration, the other helmet. With this loot they flee. But Volcens, the leader of the Rutulians, saw those Trojans and another Rutulus call. He leads those men beside brightness that the helmets. Nisus sees and dares this man into danger to preserve the friend. He killed Volcens, but before that he killed Euryalus. Then they vanquished the other, Nisus; this man falls on top of the body of Euryalus.
By the tale of the woman Vergilius writes and by the Trojans he ought to the tale is perpetual.

The Incomparable Value of Friendship
I am able to compare nothing with friendship; man says they give nothing. Some give money; others sane body; others fame and glory; others pleasure-but these men excessively wander, since those women are uncertain and out of fortune they come, not out of wisdom. Friendship, in fact, out of wisdom and love and good death and virtue comes; without virtue friendship is not able to be. If you have no friends, you have the life of a tyrant; if you come upon a true friend, your life is happy.
Chapter 10 S.A.
1. Avoid the desire of money and glory.
2. I shall accomplish my duty.
3. Your fame and the life of your sons will come into danger tomorrow.
4. Life is not to live, but to have power.
5. I always begin to always call the great with fear.
6. If you lead me, Muse, I shall take the great crown with praise.
7. Live mindful of death, flee the hour.
8. Seize, friends, the opportunity of the hour.
9. Few come to old age.
10. But flee, meanwhile, flee the time.
11. They will come upon the way fate.
12. Good true nature, not rank, it makes.
13. Compliance produces friends; truth produces hate.
