552600
Sorry in advance for my bad translation\n\nIn a place in Athens, Psiri, in 1809 a very tender history of love was written between Lord Byron and little daughter of Prokopis Makris, consul of England, Thiressia Makris\nLord Byron , in the end of December of 1809 saw  the 12 years old Thiressia Makris (she was borned in 1791) and he fell in love instantly. He felt great admiration and then he said to his friend “look, one of the Caryatids lived up”\nHis friend Robert by the time he saw Byron falling in love he told him that  it was time to go.  But Byron wanted to marry him. But he was afraid in case the 12 years old child couldn’t understand his love. So he decided to talk to her mother. \nOne day Byron touched her hand, but she took it telling him in French: “I’m an orphan girl and I don’t have the right to talk with men”\nThen Byron kneeled in front of her kissing her fingers telling her” My life, I love you, tell me do you want to be my wife?”\nFull of happiness Thiressia told him “I’m afraid Noel”. She was afraid that his big love for her would stop sometime.\nThen she told him “ travel, continue and if your love stays alive, then come again”\nCrazy of happiness Byron wrote the poem for the maid o fAthens where every paragraph end with “my life, I love you”\nBut when he was about to leave, Thiressia reminded him that a poet should stay free.\nThe poet left with his head down and never came back.\nLater Thiressia cried for his death.\nShe married in 1829 the consul of England in Mesologgi Mr Jack Black, and then she lived in England.

Hi Samaneh.\nyou haveasked bout mahdavikia and his wifes. In fact it's an interesting subject for me too, therefore I have asked mybrother in Germany about this subjec. He told me that some newspapers have had some reports and even some pictures about Mahdavikia's second wife so called "Samira". But he was not sure if the mentioned news was true or not ... . One more interesting thing; in the news they have said that she is pregnant!\nRegads,\nmeti_delpiero

I've seen her twice in the last month. She went to a poetry reading by Roger Moore, and a concert for a homeless charity. As she left the latter she paused while someone snapped a photo with a disposable camera. \n\nYou may have heard that last year a tabloid newspaper used its 'fake sheikh' to pretend to be interested in buying her house and getting her to make unguarded comments about the royals. This year she was spotted in Venice or somewhere with a man, being rather affectionate towards him but says they're just friends.

Here's what I know:\n\nThe bride wears:\nSomething Old\nSomething New\nSomething Borrowed\nSomething Blue\n\nThe bride wears a penny in her shoe for good luck.\n\nThe special dances are bride and groom, father daughter, and mother son is optional\n\nThe groomsmen are actually a part of the wedding to protect the bride from potential sutors. The bridesmaid used to dress like brides to act as decoys if the bride is to be kidnapped.\n\nDuring the ceremony, the bride stands on the grooms left side so his sword hand is ready.\n\nThe bride carries flowers to mask her odor (if she hadn't showered -- think 1500s)\n\nSpeeches at a wedding are from the best man, maid of honor and the father of the bride.\n\nWhen guests clink their glasses with silverware the bride and groom have to stop and kiss.\nHope these help -- I know they're random!

He is famous for writing comedies such as "The Birds" for the two Athenian festivals: the Dionysia and the Lenea. He wrote forty plays, eleven of which still survive, and his plays are the only surviving examples of Old Attic Comedy. Many of his plays were political, and often satirized the well-known citizens of Athens and their conduct in the Peloponnesian War. He is known to have been prosecuted for Athenian law's equivalent of libel more than once. \n\nThe list of his surviving plays and much other data about him can be read at the link below.\n\nOf his surviving plays, I think Lysistrata is the most popular.  It  was written during the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta and presents a pacifist theme: The women of the two states show off their bodies but deprive their husbands of sex until they stop fighting. \n\nThis play was later illustrated at length by Pablo Picasso.\n\nI hope this was helpful!

Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje*, Macedonia, on August 27, 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ. At the age of eighteen she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India. After a few months' training in Dublin she was sent to India, where on May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta, but the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1948 she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine Providence, and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was also forthcoming. This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.\n\nOn October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, "The Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI.\n\nToday the order comprises Active and Contemplative branches of Sisters and Brothers in many countries. In 1963 both the Contemplative branch of the Sisters and the Active branch of the Brothers was founded. In 1979 the Contemplative branch of the Brothers was added, and in 1984 the Priest branch was established.\n\nThe Society of Missionaries has spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They provide effective help to the poorest of the poor in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they undertake relief work in the wake of natural catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics, homeless, and AIDS sufferers.\n\nThe Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families.\n\nMother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.

Hi there, ommotherlifeforce!  I did not know of her until Rakana Dakini mentioned her on her blog, and then you told me more about her too.  I'm glad you all have "introduced" me to her, because I think she sounds fascinating.  I think from the sound of it, her visit to America will be a blessing for many.

(excelent answer by Broadcaster !)\nLet me add some information too!\nAlexander (Greek “ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ”(ALEXANDROS) is considered the greatest hero of Greece. He was called great for several reasons.\n He was the first who managed to unite all the Greek states and build a gigantic Greek Empire which expanded from Greece to India (really big!!). He was the first person who took the title “Emperor of Greece”.\nHe made his small Greek kingdom of Macedon the most powerful Greek state. \nHe never lost a battle and he is considered a military genius.\nHe spread Greek language and Greek culture through out the world paving the way to Christianity.\nHe was considered from the people of the Persian Empire as a liberator and not a conqueror. \nHe fused Greek culture with Asian Elements forming the culture that was called Hellenistic (from “Hellenic” meaning “Greek”).\n{Do not confuse the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia or Macedon with the modern state of Makedonija (or FYROM or Slav Macedonia as they are not related at all). The confusion has started a few years ago because that small state started to use the name “Republic of Macedonia” causing a great confusion with real Macedonia in Greece.}

Her name may be a hint to her personality. You should probably ask her to be sure because no one usually knows why others respond the way they do and I have never heard of her.
