Greek Orthodox  Metropolis of Atlanta 

My Beloved Ones,
 
I greet you with love in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today, I wish to share with you some fascinating news, which concerns our heritage as proud Hellenes.
 
Since the year 2007, archaeologists have been carefully uncovering remains of the Ancient city of Zeugma, including homes, most of which are still underwater. Most recently however, the work has uncovered several second century mosaics of ancient Gods and Goddesses, including one that depicts all Nine Muses.
 
Despite the pagan dedication of this mosaic, I think of this discovery as a testament to the fearless spirit of the Greek people. This ancient city, full of houses and structures (like a soup kitchen) shows that for all our supposed progress, very little is different.
