Loved reading the poem in both languages. Need to read more of Pindar’s work. One thing I wondered is why it was believed to be an islamic site (possibly did you mean tomb?) as it was a 2,400 year old tomb and the area was inhabited by Greeks that ling ago. Islam didn’t exist 2,400 ago isn’t it just over 1,400 year old religion?
Who was more egalitarian toward women: Greece or Rome? Or does that honor belong to ancient Egypt? Or (the worst option) was every ancient society equally unfair to the fairer sex?
