QUOTE - C. Kavin Rowe
“There are priests and crowds in Lystra, religious salesmen and colony magistrates in Philippi, philosophers and political authorities in Athens, magicians and craftsmen in Ephesus. Taken together these figures demolish the possibility of holding that. . . the Christian mission was in essence culturally innocuous. To the contrary, in their social, political, and economic breadth, such persons exhibit the far-reaching and profoundly troubling effects of Christianity for pagan culture.”

QUOTE - Greek Anthology 9.58
“I have set eyes upon the lofty walls of Babylon on which lies a chariot road, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the Colossus of the sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the temple of Artemis which rose to the clouds, these other marvels lost their brilliance, and I exclaimed, “Lo, apart from Olympus, the sun has never looked upon aught so grand.”
