Aucune nation dans l'histoire n'a laissé au monde un héritage aussi grand que celui des Grecs. Il semble à peine croyable qu'un peuple aussi dispersé, installé sur les îles et péninsules rocheuses de la mer Égée, ait pu accomplir tant de choses ; mais il a excellé dans tout ce qu'il a entrepris, qu'il s'agisse de guerre ou de politique, d'art ou d'athlétisme, de littérature ou de philosophie. Les Grecs ont donné une nouvelle définition de l'humanité. Leurs idéaux, leurs héros sont devenus les nôtres.

At ten thousand, it had form and shape—it was the flagship of Anton, the pirate chieftain! At a thousand miles, Lucky sent out his first message—a demand that Anton return to Earth.
