Odysseus never wanted to go to Troy. He was perfectly content to stay at home and go hunting with his dog, Argos. Argos was a promising young pup, if ever there was one, but duty, or Agamemnon, called Odysseus to Troy before the dog could fully mature. The Trojan war could hardly be counted as…
David was fleeing from Saul, and came to a place called Nob. There was priest named Ahimelech there, and David went to meet him. “What you doing, bro?” Asked Ahimelech. “The King sent me on a special mission.” Said David. “Sure, I buy that.” Said Ahimelech. “Do you have any food?” Asked David. “We only…
Reduca was jealous. It wasn’t fair that her sister always got all of the attention. I mean sure, Medusa had a fancy head of hair with all of those snakes and everything, but she wasn’t the only one with an unorthodox hair-do.

And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiprah, and the name of the other was Puah; And he said, when ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, the ye…
Fyodore Dosteyevsky loved words. You could even say he made a career out of it. First he wrote pages of words, then the pages became chapters.
