“We understand all of those challenges. Unfortunately, our partners are being told disinformation,” he said of the lack of elections.
“I don’t want to believe that President Trump thinks like that by himself,” Zelensky said , hinting that Putin allies may be influencing Trump or members of his circle.
Late last week, Trump walked back erroneous claims he made that Ukraine “started” the war with Russia but maintains that Putin “could have been talked out of” invading the country’s neighbor to the west.
Finley makes a compelling argument that the poems did in fact represent a centuries-old tradition begun in the early Dark Ages, that they were modernized over time, and then finally written down at the beginning of the archaic period.
Asia Minor and the Greeks
One of the early periods in Greek history has been labeled “The Dark Ages”, because of evidence of a radical change in Greek culture and retrogression to a more primitive state. This period began circa 1200 B.C. and marked the end of the Mycenaean palace culture that had come before. It had first appeared that the Greek Peninsula had been overrun by invaders part of the so called Dorian invasion, but recent archeology has shown that the Mycenaean age was replaced by a new order which was crude in its beginning as evidenced by the low quality of art and technology. Despite this pause in the development of Greek culture, the loss of a sense of central government and the resulting isolation of small Greek communities set the stage for the development of the Polis.
The reasons for the migration are obvious: attraction to fertile land near the coast and the lack of any powers or population centers that could inhibit the relocation drove the Greeks to Asia in large numbers. We know that three hundred years later Asia Minor was fully populated with Greeks and the Aegean had become the Greek lake, but the process that led to this including battles between the Greeks over the new territory is obscure. Much later the Spartan-led revolt in this new territory would lead to the Persian invasion of Greece.
“Russia attacked, but they shouldn’t have let them attack, because they wouldn’t have attacked if you had people that knew what they were doing,” the president said. “Joe Biden is a very dumb man … He had no idea what he was doing and everything he said was wrong.
“And I will tell you, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin could have been talked out of that so easy, but they didn’t know how to talk.”
Temple Engineering
When we think about the ruins of Greece, we most often see the remnants of the famous temples – the Parthenon for example. The first temples were made out of wood, but the transition to stone began in the late seventh century B.C. Limestone was used first and then marble.
How were these stone temples built?
Primary sources for limestone and marble were Naxos and Paros; islands in the Aegean with quarries close to the sea. In the late sixth century, the Greeks began to work a marble quarry at Mt. Pentelikos. The map below shows the location of these quarries.
Blocks of stone were transported by boat and when the situation required, ox cart. To avoid the risk of damage the blocks would be trimmed to rough size and finished at the site. Stone shavings, resulting from the finish work, have been excavated from these sites.
Believe it or not, limestone columns were turned on a lathe as a single monolithic block. The last columns made this way were used in the temple of Aphaia on the island of Aigina in the early fifth century B.C. The monolithic column was then replaced with those built in sections called drums. The drums were held together with wooden dowels.
Zelensky said Sunday that Trump should meet with him before meeting with Putin — who seeks control over the entire Ukrainian land mass.
The Trump administration has been in the process of trying to strike a deal with Ukraine for access to hundreds of billions of dollars in mineral rights there to help pay for US military aid.
Retired Gen. Keith Kellogg — one of a handful of Trump officials who remains supportive of Zelensky — visited Ukraine recently to try to iron out the details of the agreement.
But Kellogg returned from Kyiv after meeting with Zelensky, who he praised publicly as “courageous,” without confirming whether a deal had been secured.
Shortly after, Trump announced at the White House that the US and Ukraine were “signing an agreement, hopefully in the next fairly short period of time.”
A rep for the Ukrainian president’s office insisted to The Post, “Any deal that can be made has to be mutually beneficial,” despite high-ranking government officials viewing such an agreement as a shakedown.

Eight million Ukrainians have been displaced due to the fighting, and servicemembers are unable to vote while engaged, Zelensky noted.
He also said occupied territories in the region would be unable to ensure free and fair elections because of Russian control.
