\r\n \r\n \r\n I am a Classical Philologist. I study ancient Greek texts from Fifth and Fourth-century Athens. Although I got my major in Classics, I\u2019ve always tried to apply Modern Linguistics tools to the study of Ancient Greek. At the moment, I am working on a project on the concept of punishment in Classical Greek texts from a cognitive perspective, that is, how ancient Greeks thought about this issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″]\r\n

\r\n \r\n \r\n I remember asking for the office key, but the security guards couldn\u2019t find my permit. They called the administration, and I was at the office working in five minutes. I took out my stuff from my backpack and organized my desk. We had some lunch with my office roommate and afterwards some Turkish coffee while we got to know each other.

\r\n \r\n \r\n <\/p>\nWhat surprised me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n I love animals, and I come from a country where, although we have rescuers, many animals suffer from abuse. Not many people do anything about it, and they usually prefer purebred dogs. One of the things that surprised me the most is that there are no stray dogs and cats. Moreover, most dogs in the city are mixed breeds and are usually very cheerful when you say hello to them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

Some higher grounds allow you to watch the beautiful sunsets, like the Muzeum \u015al\u0105skie.
