News from Between: Walking Trees walk again!
It has come to the attention of workers in the Sskaduwe Forests that the walking tree phenomenon has been sighted and documented near the endangered forest. Previously thought to be a ‘wild coast myth’ the excitement among scientists is bordering on manic. Sighted crouched on a rock near the shore ‘Ashdikfju’ (as the walking tree has been named) is apparently showing no signs of stress. (How do scientists know is a walking tree is stressed if they’ve never seen one)?
Believed to be a result of the landslides on the outer continental shelf and resultant slope along the Mid-Atlantic coast. Indicates potential for tsunamis that might have devastating effects on human populated coastal areas.

Where things fall apart, but don't, they cant...
So, we left the Traveller, the Red Giraffe and Lammassu at the Gate of all Nations, with a key in hand. The creatures from between were anxious and Lammassu knew it was just a matter of time before the pollination process needed to keep the Bhubezi genetic stock clean would die.
That would create a problem in finding the third last key. Luckily, their next stop was the Lion Gate - the main entrance of the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae, erected during the 13th century BC in the northwest side of the acropolis.
Historians believe this to be the sole surviving monumental piece of Mycenaean sculpture, as well as the largest sculpture in the prehistoric Aegean. It is the only monument of Bronze Age Greece to bear an iconographic motif that survived without being buried underground, and the only relief image which was described in the literature of classical antiquity, such that it was well known prior to modern archaeology blah blaah blaaalh. Homer mentions Mycenae, and well he should (or is it he?) [Bearing in mind its possible that ‘Homer’ could represent a group of poets, or the imaginary author of a traditional body of oral myths].
{If Homer is to be considered a mythical character, the legendary founder of a guild of rhapsodes (professional performers of epic poetry) called the Homeridae, then "Homer" means the works attributed to the rhapsodes of the guild, who might have composed primarily in a single century or over a period of centuries}.
Where was I, I lost my train of thought (Lyrehc here) {sorry, one thought} - [The time gap in the chain is bridged by the scholia or notes, on the existing manuscripts, which indicate that the original had been published by Aristarchus in the 2nd century BCE. Librarian of the Alexandrian Library, he had noticed a wide divergence in the works attributed to Homer, and was trying to restore a more authentic copy. He had collected several manuscripts, which he named: the Sinopic, the Massiliotic, etc. The one he selected for correction was The Koine].
The Koine is NOT just the common language of the Greeks from the close of the classical period to the Byzantine era or a common language shared by various peoples; a lingua franca, it is a set of books, which was penned by myself well before the bridges were problematic. They are guarded by 8 Scorplio - quite shy creatures, nocturnal and highly dangerous. They were first bred in Africa, close to the river Zambezi by She. Initial stock came from the mountains along the Indus River.
