Leila Meacham
“I'm learning not to hope for what I can't control...”
Leila Meacham, Roses

Yvonne Korshak
“It had happened. Thucydides, his archrival, was a general. Glaucon, from his own tribe, was a general. And Pericles was no longer a general. He was just a citizen with one vote. And an idea”
Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece
