THE ROYAL HOUSE OF TROY

 *THE ROYAL HOUSE OF TROY* The traditional founder of Troy's famed royal house was Dardanus, a few generations prior to Tros and Ilus: "Dardanus, in Greek legend, the son of Zeus and the Pleiad Electra, mythical founder of Dardania on the Hellespont (the nearby strait separating Dardania from Hellas or Greece now called the Dardanelles). He was the ancestor of the Dardans of the Troad (the region surrounding Troy)... "According to tradition ...

Statisticians and researchers have produced many reports showing the decline of faith in America and the Western world.

Recent Pew research polling has found that most people are praying more during the coronavirus outbreak than before. But the pattern we've seen before is that as a great crisis is resolved and fades, life goes back to normal. Churches are mostly empty again. What are people thinking, and does it matter? Why should we be concerned about what society at large believ
