Quotes
- “Macedonia as a whole tended to remain in isolation from the rest of Greece.”
- “... for the first time he [Philip] began to understand how Macedonia's outdated institutions of feudalism and aristocratic monarchy, so despised by the rest of Greece, might prove a source of strength when dealing with such opponents.”
- “In less than four years he had transformed Macedonia from a backward and primitive kingdom to one of the most powerful states in the Greek world.”
- “Aristotle found support for his thesis in facts drawn from geopolitics or ‘natural law’. Greek superiority had to be proved demonstrably innate, a gift of nature. In one celebrated fragment he counsels Alexander to be ‘a hegemon [leader] of Greeks and a despot to the barbarians, to look after the former as after friends and relatives, and to deal with the latter as with beasts or plants’.”
- “Not once did I ever see such a striking resemblance,in either a man or a woman—it truly astounds me!This boy could be the son of great-hearted Odysseus,Tēlemachos, left as a newborn child in the houseby him, when because of me, the bitch, you Achaianswent out against Troy, hearts set on ruthless warfare.”
- “Him she found on the seashore, sitting; nor were his eyesever wiped dry of tears; sweet life was draining from himas he yearned to be home, since the nymph no longer pleased him.”

Peter Allen Greenbaum (29 October 1946 – 25 July 2020), known professionally as Peter Green, was an English blues rock singer-songwriter and guitarist who was the founder and original leader of the band Fleetwood Mac. Green formed the group in 1967 after a stint in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and quickly established the new band as a popular live act in addition to a successful recording act, before departing in 1970. Green's songs, such as "Albatross", "Black Magic Woman", "Oh Well", "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)" and "Man of the World", appeared on singles charts and several have been adapted by a variety of musicians.
Green was a major figure in the "second great epoch" of the British blues movement. Eric Clapton praised his guitar playing and B. B. King commented, "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats." His trademark sound included string bending, vibrato, emotionally expressive tone and economy of style.
