Roman History

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Roman History

Post by Leonard Meltsner »

I realized the other day how many Roman emperors I can name, and at least one thing about their lives, and realized that it was all from Odyssey.

Julius Caesar-Approved the Julian calendar created by Sogigenes the Greek (New Years Eve Live!)
Caesar Augustus-Sent a decree throughout the entire Roman world that everyone should return... (Back to Bethlehem)
Nero-Executed the Apostle Paul, fiddled while Rome burned (St Paul: An Appointment with Caesar)
Honorius-Liked chickens, saw the end of gladiator fights (Telemachus)
Claudius-Claudius "The Cruel", outlawed marriage and executed Valentine (The Last "I Do")
Constantine-Brought Christianity to Rome, outlawed gladiator fights, though they didn't stop then (Telemachus)

I was powering my two-wheeler along this concrete pathway, when your personnage suddenly appeared directly in front of me blocking my course. My reflexes immediately sprang to life in an attempt to navigate an evasive manouveur around you while still maintaining course and speed, but I evidently over-compensated, and my Schwinn careened off the hardened path, taking me with it, and up-ended us both in this shrub, a Rhododendron of the heath family I believe, deducing from the leathery evergreen leaves, as distinguished from the deciduous Azalea, which as we all know is..."
Isaac-"You mean, you crashed into this bush cause I got in your way."
Eugene-"Well, that of course is another way of expressing it." Isaac the Benevolent
