Hecataeus-Father* of Geography

Following is an ode to Hecataeus
                 
 Father of Geography

World After Hecataeus

    
     Hecataeus of Miletus
     Writer of Periplus
     With his work of Periodus 
     Made him the boss 
              
                Of Geography forever
                No title more heavier
                To be given ever 
                To a Geographer never




--------------------------




* Yet another Greek Father to follow
   The present works do seem too hollow
                         
            Compared with works of yonder times

Brad Pitt as Achilles in Troy

            Work hard my friends that you too may shine

Remember Achilles mother, when she said
 Your name will be lost, if you shall wed
                        
            Your death is sure when you go to war
            I 'll loose a son but you shall earn your fame  
     
Though doom and fame follow your name
Go to war and earn your fame
