“I think that I shall never hear,
A poem as lovely as a beer.”Don't you mean "bier"?

Everyone would be distraught to see the looting of antiquities that has gone on in northern cyprus. It is disgusting and troublesome.
The ancient monastic school, the churches have been literally chiseled into ruble with thieves taking frescos and mosaics.
Byzantine era churches are now used as animal stables.

"
In one large painting, Ulysses and his comrades escape from the blind Cyclops Polyphemos' cave hidden under a flock of sheep."
So, those stories WERE true!
