Oh yeahhh that guy... to be fair, giant siege tower notwithstanding, Besieging was like the most normal thing he did? I mean they could have called him Demetrius the Blasphemer Who Had Sex On Our Statue Of Athena

To refute the lie:
That they have all the power.
This world is ours—before you die,
Will you fight? Or will you cower?
That they have all the power.
This world is ours—before you die,
Will you fight? Or will you cower?

You know, I was looking for this one the other week! I've been making an effort to loan books to friends & coworkers. My current balcony book is Robert Hutchinson's The Spanish Armada. If you like McCullough, I'd recommend Walter Borneman too if you haven't read him already!
