Afghanistan Literature
With the media attention being on Afghanistan’s situation, we can’t help but feel worried for the future of the people of Afghanistan. Literature helps us learn empathy; empathy for other human beings living in remote areas of the world under strict, horrifying conditions that we as readers, only dare read about in books. We know that books can only do so much, but as bibliophiles, trying to understand the struggles that these Afghanistan people go through, is the least we can do.

Egyptian Horror Films
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Egyptology. My sister and I grew up watching documentaries about ancient civilizations during the Summers. She went on to earn a degree in history while I went on to write horror and study rhetoric. Yet, we both still love a good film based on ancient Egyptian culture. The list below are a few of my favorite films, some good, some are not so good (but who doesn’t love cheap horror cult-films?) My personal favorite is “The Pyramid” from 2014 – definitely the film you want to see out of all of these listed below.

Famous Greek Orators
The 10 Greek orators from Athens were said to have been the most influential orators of ancient Greece during the 5th and 4th century BCE by Aristophanes of Byzantium. These writers of judicial history are what follow after the great literature of legends such as the Iliad or Homer. They are labeled as the Attic orators because of their regional locale and births; the state of Attica in Greece, in which Athens is located. Many of these orators worked as logographers (speech writers), teachers and some were said to have written their own treatise on rhetoric. The ten orators are: Antiphon; Andocides; Lysias; Isocrates; Isaeus; Demosthenes; Aeschines; Lycurgus; Hyperides and Dinarchus.
