The First Messenian War

Demetrios Xanthippos was the author of this passage on the first of three Messenian wars. his writing is based off of two writers on the third century BC, Rianos and Myron. The First Messenian War started about 768 BC with a despute between Polykhares of Messenian and Euaiphnos of Sparta when Euaiphnos killed Ploykhares's son on Lakonia soil and in anger Ploykhares started killing Spartans. because neither the Messenians nor the Lakonians would give up their criminals war started. Ampheia was the sight of the first town over run by the Lakonians, forcing the Messenians to start training more men for battle. The following year the Messenians, because of the superior military of the Lakonians, saught refuge in Mt. Ithome and sent a mesenger to the orcale at Delphi. Because the Messenians followed the oracles advice to winning the war, the Lakonian lost hope and returned home for six years. Upon the resume of battle the allies of the two refused to come untill a set battle was made where the Messenians forced the Lakonians back and making them resort to askng the oracle for help. Then the end of the war was in sight. Before the Messenians could make the proper offering to the gods for a victory the Lakonians gave the offering first. This action put the Messenian king in such great dispair that he killed himself and five months later the Messenian army fell and the Lakonians put the Messenians to their fisrt time of slavery.

Me Myself and I

I consider myself an open-minded person, but my deal breakers are... anything that can can puts someone else in danger. I'm more than happy to put myself in danger. In fact i think that's what life is about... taking chances and not living in defensive mode.

Something I learned from the last person I dated is... don't stay in a relationship that ends again and again. If you end it with someone or they end it with you, don't try to keep it alive. Even if ya ll get back together it will never be the same. the reason that it ended to begin with will always be there no matter how much you want it not to be.

It's Sunday morning at 10 a.m. If I'm not still sleeping, I'm... at Market Place Grill. Ive been working at MPG for almost three years now and I love it. I make specialty drinks, desserts, appetizers, pizzas, and take takeout orders. Ive spent more time there in the last three years than any other place including school!!

When I die, I believe I will go... to HELL!!! No I'm just kidding. I think I'm going to purgatory or heaven. that is unless i do something awful in my remaining years. But I don't think that will happen.

Something people keep buying me for gifts and I never use is...nothing. I always use my gifts because if i know someone is getting me a gift I will give them very good clues as to what it is that I want.

One sport I will never get is... a spelling bee. I mean I know its not a sport so why does it come on ESPN? There is nothing athletic about it at all. you don't run you don't jump, you don't even use a ball... therefore it doesn't belong on ESPN!

When I was a kid, I actually owned a... Giga pet, one of those key chain pets that you had to take care of constantly otherwise it "died." I know is really dorky now but when I had it i loved that thing.
