Because of Christians, mankind lost: • 90% of Greek tragedies • 100% of the Epic Cycle • 90% of Greek philosophy • 90% of Greek lyric poetry • 100% of Polykleitos’ Canon • 95% of Stoic/Epicurean texts Christianity is a plague. Hellenism is the cure.

Either he was part of hasdrubals army and fled with the Gauls after metaurus or he was with mago and kept behind in Italy when he was recalled to Carthage to recruit Gauls in the event mago and Hannibal return to Italy

Hannibal was as Hellenic as he was Phoenician He could speak Greek fluently and his 2 personal historians were Greek and kept many Greeks in his close circle He was also trained in the Greek method of warfare since childhood
