The "fabulist" at the center of the academia crisis
Story at Protothema [English]
His academic rise was not the only striking part of his public image. Arday also cultivated a reputation as an elite long-distance runner and a hugely successful charity fundraiser. He said he had once run 600 miles between Edinburgh and London in six days, a feat that would place him among the world’s leading ultra-marathon runners, and claimed to have raised more than £5 million for charity over the years, at times putting the figure as high as £5.5 million. He said he had completed 30 marathons in 35 days, suffering an epileptic seizure and a fractured leg on the 21st before finishing the remaining nine anyway. He also said he had survived a coma lasting several months, and that a brain tumour had been removed just two weeks before his final PhD exam...."

THE ODYSSEY: With the Greek on one side and the English on the other side this edition allows for easy reading while also opportunities to peruse the original Greek - "the classic parallel text version of Homer." Translation by Augustus Taber Murray (1866–1940) Professor of Greek at Stanford University and George Edward Dimock (1917–2000), Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at Smith College.
Homer was probably born around 725BC and he is from a long line of bards and poets who practiced the oral tradition of storytelling. .AMAZON
