Danish historian and father of three boys. Living proof that older does not mean wiser.
the two sons of Atreus, Menelaos and Agamemnon, are described as αἰγυπιός (carrion vultures, but frequently translated as hawks or eagles).
It's a reference to the origin of the Atreides ("descendants of Atreus") name. In Aischylos' play "Agamemnon" (458 BCE), ...

Let the Cowliphate starve.
Good gods, that's borderline illiteracy.
It's true, I lie.
I was. In both the examples I cited, the majority of the population is concentrated in a few comparatively small parts of the country.
It's a country. You may have heard of it.
Also true for Greenland and Iceland. Gee, I wonder what all those places have in common?
