Tonks! ((Magic)) You know the Iliad and Odyssey were close in substance - should have known there would be a trick question!

Funny thing is... Odyssey was my first thought and when I got up Monday morning and saw your posted answers - I shrugged it off, and went to work. When I got home and saw there was no winner yet, I figured it was worth a try after all [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif[/img]

You know... Colin Channer promised me a book same way a while back - mek mi see if he will honour his words (and Kwame Dawes too since when I saw him his review was still on our web page) Will send you his/their links.

(Can't ask Olive Senior since she has helped out my local association a couple times - but can ask her publisher) She's working on a second edition Encyclopaedia of Jamaican Heritage...)
