I enjoyed studying about Iliad, too. 5 rhapsodies this year. Well, I did perfect.

UPDATE

No! NO MORE SORROW! I PAID FOR UR MISTAKES!! YOUR TIME IS BO.... Sorry guys I've been singing this all day long. I enjoy typing it, too. I bought a new t-shirt today. It's black with a white sophisticated heart on it. Anyways, maths is the next one. EA-SY! But I'll also study Greek. Hm. Still no cappuccino. I thing I'm gonna kill myself. Btw, the 2nd semi-final of eurovision is today. VOTE FOR GREECE AT THE FINAL EVERYBODY!!! OPA-Giorgos Alkaios and Friends. Take a look at the video clip. You'll see someone playing a strange traditional greek instrument. It's called Lira; this kind of Lira is the one that ppl from Pontos (like me) play. Ppl from Crete play another kind of it.

Have you ever heard of Homer? He is a very famous greek poet that wrote two big poems called epic poems (12000 and 1500 lyrics approximately) during the 8th century BC. One of them is Iliad.

Not many people know "Homer" or "Illiad" but say its about Epos Odissey, I'll be surprised if they don't.

Good luck to your country in the finals! I think my country will make a stand for themselfs as well wink.gif This year's competition is really rough.

I have read both "Illiad" and "Odisey". Great writings...well, all early Greece culture fascinates me(the period before the Roman conquer). I would really like to go to Japan as well, but well...Greece is nearer wink.gif

@ Kona-chan: You should do so! It is amazing!
@ afro: Thank you very much! I will do my best! I have got a lira in my house. I know how to play a few notes. But i dunno if somebody can teach me how to play it... You usually learn it by your own!
@ untold: Playing with fire, right? All of my friends like it . It is among the songs i want to vote for. You gotta visit Greece! After all we are neighbours! I wanna go to Romania, France, England, Spain, America, Australia and Japan. And the moon! xD GOOD LUCK TO ROMANIA!

YEAH! That's what I'm listening to right now!
Romania, France, CYPRUS and Serbia are my favorites! Actually the haircut of the singer from Serbia was AWFUL but the song is awesome! Ovo je Balkan! XD
Lena looks like Lily Alen in even-worse version! XD GREECE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE WINNER! rawr.gif

LMAO, well... Romania got 3'rd place thanks to our friends (*ahem* brothers*ahem*) from Moldavia.

The German song (Satellite) is a good song (not really for Eurovision, but heck with it) but the interpretation at the final really left me in thoughts. I am not so good with music, but everyone tells me I have a musical ear and I can tell that it sounded very...tired. I don't think Germany should've won this year's Eurovision but it is okay, no one is at a loss biggrin.gif
I really loved the part where thousands of people were dancing simultaniously in the parks around Europe wink.gif
I loved the Greece, Moldavian, Denmark and Turkey's songs...
The next year I am going to buy me a ticket to Berlin whistling.gif
