Eric the Maccabee

Two items of note that have nothing to do with each other except my forced header. Eric Idle has completed his Greedy Bastard Tour, and you can read the entire weblog of it here. And Jonathan Edelstein takes a fascinating look at the sociopolitical situation in the time of the Hellenistic era vis a vis the Maccabean war (which is commemmorated yearly on Chanukah).
