I love Poe. This was a nice treat! Thank you Robin!

Never even heard of this story before, thank you for introducing it to me! It also makes me think of my trip to Turkey that I went on with my church last year where we visited various ancient sites. I visited Ephesus (as mentioned in this story) and I visited Pisidian Antioch (one of the several ancient places named Antioch as mentioned in the story). Our tour guide and some of the museums I visited mentioned Syrian Antioch (the setting of this story), but we didn’t go there. While it’s called Syrian Antioch, today the site is Turkey (although it was also part of the short-lived Republic of Hatay) but fortunately we didn’t plan on going there since the area was devastated by the massive earthquake last year. Maybe someday I will go back and visit Syrian Antioch when it’s safe. Turkey is a great country, one of my favorite places to visit. Many layers of history in one place!

Just in time for bedtime.. Snuggling up, and listening to you, what more could a girl ask for.?? Cheers Robin.. 😊💤💤📖👌🏻...

That artwork reminds me of the chimera from Full Metal Alchemist 😟
