Definitely not Atalanta, sorry. Even if she was a huntress. Golden apples, my .... towel holder.
mmmm, moors....Cornwall, coast paths, cows, Tintagel or maybe, "where does this wind blow from?" "off the moors of mortality, perhaps...or there's that inland sea, the heart"
Yes, Falernian wine. Casting my mind waaaay back to first year Latin class (or maybe second?), and reading the Cena Trimalchione (don't quote me on the spelling) - "Trimalchio's dinner party", where I learned that the whole point of Roman wine was to drink it as quickly as possible. (I believe the relevant phrase translated as "ten day old Falernian wine".) None of this poncey 'aging' business for the Romans. Unless you were making garum - fish sauce. Now THAT had to be aged properly. No wonder plumbing was so important to them.
cheers, the other Sea. but not the Pacific. Maybe the Caspian?
