Of course the polytonic system is not supported on iphone 3.1.2, but this is ancient Greek for ‘Dicaeopolis is a farmer’. It is the first thing I remember from ancient Greek classes in Rhodes in 2004. It came to mind today when we stopped to watch a young farmer (we’ll call him Dicaeopolis) ploughing a rich red field. These types of plough you see half buried and rusting all over Greece, but I don’t think the Greeks have used them since the early 70′s. It’s been all gasoline there for some time, but here in Viñales they are the tools of the trade. Dicaeopolis had a way with the bulls, speaking to them, telling them to stop, back up, turn left, no you can eat that bush when you’re done.
