And I’m here with some more ancient history based on the writings of Herodotus. In the second book of his Histories, he describes ancient Egypt and in this episode, I’m going to be talking about the Egyptian gods. Herodotus gathered much of his information about Egypt by talking to the scribes and priests in the temples when informed about the countries traditions and beliefs. He himself reckoned that no nation was more right about religion than any other and that the Greeks had probably imported most of their beliefs from Egypt. And he often gives the Egyptian gods Greek names.
Grandma was 85 years old. She still lived on her own quite independently, although she had stopped driving the car when she’d reached 80. In a moment of weakness, she had confessed to the doctor that she occasionally had dizzy spells when she could not remember what her name was or what country she lived in. He prescribed pills for mild epilepsy and ordered her to give up her driving. At first, she refused, but the doctor insisted, saying it wasn't safe for other motorists. Therefore she had no choice but to surrender her licence, which she deeply regretted.
