Another example of our eternal language debt to Greece; Polis means market or city and Mega which comes from the Greek μέγας, meaning great. How many 'polis' are there here in the US?

I've been to Messene. The fortification walls are very impressive, among the best-preserved fourth century B.C. walls in Greece. They really did not want to be conquered again by Sparta.
