"Before we had access to clean water, I would make four trips a day carrying a heavy bucket. Now that we have water nearby, I have enough time to order tomatoes and then to sell them - something I didn't have time to do in the past. The tap has made my stall possible."

Did you know that lack of access to clean drinking water is a leading risk factor for infectious diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentry etc

Least believable thing about Greek mythology is how every character is important and has an intricate story. No regular guys at all. Zeus should have a brother named Steve who just works at the agora and that's his whole thing
