An encyclopedia (alternatively encyclopaedia) is a written compendium of knowledge. The term comes from the Greek enkuklios paideia, literally "in a circle of instruction", and more generally connoting "a well-rounded education".
Εnkuklios paideia, made up of greek words enkuklios, "cyclical, periodic, ordinary," and paideia, "education" and meaning "general education." |

Classic Marathon and Nagano
Olympic Commemorative Nagano Marathon
which they co-operate. |
Among
all the Olympic events, the Marathon Race stands out because
it was born by a real historic and heroic event.
It was a feat accomplished by a news-bearing foot soldier
from ancient Athens, who announced- with his last words-
the victory of the Greeks against the Persians in the
battle of Marathon (490 B.C.).
The 42,195m Marathon Race became one of the major competitive
events when the Olympic Games were revived in 1896.
A Greek by the name of Spyros Louis, running in what has
since been referred to as the 'Original Course' from the
ancient city of Marathon to the Panathinaico Stadium in
Athens, won the gold medal of the first modern Olympic
Games. |

Terpsichore, Thalia, Urania.

POLITICS
* the Japanese Parliament or Diet consists of two houses, Sugiin and
Sangiin
(the House of Councillors)
...Whereas we mostly think of politics
today as happening in a specific, rather remote place-the
Houses of Parliament or Congress- the Greeks saw politics
everywhere and saw everything as having a political dimension.
It was politics that gave shape, structure, and meaning to
all aspects of their everyday lives. They even identified
themselves as "political animals", in Aristotle's
famous phrase from the first book of his Politics (composed
