On the fifth or sixth day from their coming, their wares being now well-nigh all sold, there came to the sea shore among many other women the king’s daughter, whose name (according to Persians and Greeks alike) was Io, the daughter of Inachus. The Phoenicians then came, as I say, to Argos, and set out their cargo. Among other places to which they carried Egyptian and Assyrian merchandise, they came to Argos, which was about that time preeminent in every way among the people of what is now called Hellas. These (they say) came to our seas from the sea which is called Red, and having settled in the country which they still occupy, at once began to make long voyages. The Persian learned men say that the Phoenicians were the cause of the feud. ![]() What Herodotus the Halicarnassian has learnt by inquiry is here set forth: in order that so the memory of the past may not be blotted out from among men by time, and that great and marvellous deeds done by Greeks and foreigners and especially the reason why they warred against each other may not lack renown.

To be quite honest, this book was sort of in one ear and out the other to me. Also? This book made me want to watch some horror films on Netflix. There’s even a small part where the film Scary Movie is mentioned. It’s actually a pretty interesting listen if you are the sort of person who likes scary movies. ![]() Zinoman’s audiobook, Shock Value is another in a long line of books where the subtitle essentially gives away the topic. Shock Value: How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror is about the masters of modern horror films.

However, the real emotional meat of the fight lies in Maul's final words. Rebels showrunner Dave Filoni also revealed that Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai influenced the final fight - which wouldn't be the first time the action epic helped shape a galaxy far, far away. Considering that Obi-Wan used his master's lightsaber to defeat Maul in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, it's only fitting that he'd use his master's stance to finally defeat his old enemy. Fans will notice that his posture is similar to the stance that Qui-Gon assumed during his lightsaber combat. Once again there's more to Obi-Wan's stance that meets the eye. Maul, on the other hand, shifts into a more aggressive stance.which causes Obi-Wan to lift his saber in a double-handed position. This is the same defensive position he's used against multiple foes, from General Grevious to Darth Vader. When Obi-Wan gets into fighting position, he assumes the Soresu stance.
