The dog days of summer are those days when Sirius, the Dog Star (so called for the way it follows Orion into the night sky), rises above the eastern horizon before sunrise and becomes the morning star.
I love your writing that transports me to the salty taverna with sand between my toes, enriched with thoughts of ancient, Troy-bound heroes! Much needed in sweaty August London.
Wonderful musings Agnes, and challenging, I had to look up a few of your erudite classical references.
As for being on a Greek island and eating barbounia washed down with a Mythos, I am so envious. Been home for 4 weeks now after 4 months away and already aching to be back there!
Really enjoyed your Greek interlude
Thanks Dianne, much appreciated!

Thanks for reading! All best to sticky London!
I never realized where canicule was coming from!
Reading this with touch of jealousy (the mullet looks delicious)here in the bleak skies and rain of Bristol.
Thanks Liz, I hope the rain abates!
