Maybe Zappata went to school and studied the story of Athen?

- burkaman 12y agoDid you mean to link to a different page? That one doesn't have anything like the Zapata quote.
- majestic1211 12y agoThere is not the Zappata quote, but it still seems relevant : "Finally, for the Homeric hero, aretê consisted of a set of qualities clustered around the readiness to fight a beautiful war and die a beautiful death." "preferring to die in their own land rather than live to dwell in that of others"
