Samuel Quinine has received ten copies of the latest volume
in the 'Ancient Eccentrics' series by Mandible Winkworth. It is called
"Sea to sea Armenia" (in Armenian: Ծովից ծով Հայաստան: Tsovits tsov Hayastan) which is a
popular expression used to refer to the Kingdom of Armenia at the time of
Tigranes the Great (140 – 55 BC) who extended the country from the Caspian to
the Mediterranean. In his True History, the
satirist Lucian insisted that the most famous Greek poet was a Babylonian
called Tigranes, who assumed the name Homer when taken "hostage" by
the Greeks. It is absolutely untrue that Homer was Shakespeare's Uncle. Although
he has been traveling recently, Winkworth is due to return to Seven Dials soon.
