   Dear readers, followers and supporters.

  As promised earlier, I am coming back with our new publication
  
  Subject:             ASPASIA THE "" HARLOT""
                             Athens  470 B.C.

Pericles was leading the Greek cities having as adversary
the city of Sparta. The leader of Athens was an exempla-
ry man, who had many friends, but also had enemies.

He was a model democratic leader, but he also had some
weaknesses as a man.  Unable to manage his manly nature he fell in love with a woman who was considered
by her peers as a prostitute, named Aspasia.

Aspasia had come to Athens from the city of Militus, 
a woman known for her grace and talents. Many mer-
chants from Athens who had visited the of Militus spoke
about her impressive beauty and her great body and
said that knew more than any other woman of her time
the game of LOVE the ideal company of intellectual men.

Her adjustment in Athens was not at all easy, the customs, manners, and jealousies demanded diplomacy 
and fine handling, which she was able to provide, as it
became obvious.

She had a tremendous influence on Pericles, the Olympian man, and consequently to the entire Athenian
society.-
Aspasia was an ambiguous personality and it is unknown
to what degree she influenced Pericles in his serious
political decisions.

Her life was fictional, but her end was tragic!!!
                     
                     Aspasia about herself!
  ""  I will go down in history not for my physical beauty,
      that nature gave me, but for the privilege of mee-
      ting extraordinay men, Athenians or otherwise, of 
      my time.  Men who helped establish the glory of
      Athens, and put the foundation of sciences, philoso-
      phy and arts._
      More specifically I had the pleasure to meet a man,
      a unique man, who was loved and hated like no one 
      else, Pericles, who managed to survive the sunami
      of politics.
      He was one who enjoyed a long life and passed away
      while still in power""
                                      _____Aspasia_____

    Thoughts of Evi Martyn:  The question remains
                                             whether she was a woman
                                             of low morals OR a woman
                                             with a free spirit, way ahead
                                             of her time.
