I thought ben that Virgil transcribed the odisy, sinse Virgil was writing at
the time of the Romans which was a good thousand years after the original,
though I could be wrong.
I'll have to ask my friend tomorrow who's a doctor of archaeology, unless
Tom happens to know.
Beware the Grue!

Actually dark your wrong, from what I can remember as to who wrote the
odisy
or the audesy as we would call it. I believe it was Homer who wrote the
Iliad, in fact I know so, and I think Virgil worte the Odisy as well as
the
Aeneid.
If anyone can prove me wrong, go ahead. I don't mind.

Hi Alex.
Actually on the historical contributions of blind people there are more
than
you think, blind poets and engineers, indeed under some historical
interpretations Homer, author of the most ancient griek epics like the
odisy
was said to be blind, sinse obviously in a society which prized aural
tradition and debate the inability to write wasn't such a loss.
Even talking in appocalypse terms though, there is a further problem with
braille, namely that most people cannot read it.
I actually was originally given typing lessons on a manual typewriter, and
would still be able to type which would let me communicate even if I were
reliant upon another person to read it, this would let me write and
exchange
views with others even without electricity, ---- though frankly if there
were an appocalypse I'd probably commit suicide, sinse I'd hate to be at
the
mercy of anyone simply through lack of vision, and I don't think I'd want
to
live in a world without literature and music anyway.
Then again, I freely admit that because of the view I have of death and
more
to the point my lack of fear of death, suicide in an intolerable situation
is to me a far more rational choice than it would probably be to others.
Before however this gets too philosophical I'll stop.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
