BriannaHOST
It is my thinking partner, right? So I'm chatting and I'm talking about like a hotel or a ballpark of a proposal that I'm thinking of creating.
BriannaHOST
And it's giving me this ballpark cost or like, hey, this hotel in Paros might work, whatever.
BriannaHOST
And the numbers it gives me can be so off.
BriannaHOST
And it's not just like a rounding error.
Joshua HarrellHOST
Every month, two islands.
Joshua HarrellHOST
Crete for the families, Paros for the friendships.
Joshua HarrellHOST
Same format, same voice, more islands.
Joshua HarrellHOST
When something works, you don't retire it.
RachelHOST
Wait, where were you taking it to?
JujHOST
We took it from Athens to Paros.
RachelHOST

Constantine CavarnosNARRATOR
The Blessed Elder Philotheos Zervakos, who lived from 1884 to 1980, to whom I have devoted volume 11 of my series, Modern Orthodox Saints, has written many valuable things about it.
Constantine CavarnosNARRATOR
He was especially well qualified to speak on this important topic, having served very successfully as a confessor throughout Greece for more than half a century, and as an abbot of the famous monastery of Longovardo on the island of Paros from 1930 to 1980.
Constantine CavarnosNARRATOR
Father Philotheus, points out the qualities of the good confessor, or spiritual father, using St. Arsenios of Paros, who lived 1800 to 1877, as his exemplar.
Constantine CavarnosNARRATOR
These qualities are particularly the following, humility, gentleness, patience, discernment, compassion, and love.
Constantine CavarnosNARRATOR
These virtues, he says, Father Arsenios eminently possessed.
Constantine CavarnosNARRATOR
Father Philotheos Servakos goes on to give a very moving example of how St. Arsenios the New acted as a confessor.
Constantine CavarnosNARRATOR
It is as follows.
Constantine CavarnosNARRATOR
A certain girl from the island of Syros went to the convent of the Transfiguration of Christ on Paros to visit her sister, was a nun there.
Jon SoloHOST
He's not human, obviously, but the point still stands that these figures existed.
Jon SoloHOST
An even closer connection would be this creepy figurine found in a tile grave on the Cycladic Island of Paros in Greece.
Jon SoloHOST
Dated to the fourth century BCE and inscribed with the name Theophrastus, this curse effigy is made from cast lead and was pierced with seven iron nails through the mouth, eyes, skull, and booty pipe.
Jon SoloHOST
It has a lead collar around its neck, and its arms are bound behind its back.

But afterwards, as springtime waxed, it was soon to be waving with long ears of corn and its rich furrows to be loaded with grain upon the ground while others would already be bound in sheaves there first she landed from the fruitless upper air and glad were the goddesses to see each other and cheered in heart then bright coiffed rea said to demeter come my daughter for far-seeing zeus the loud thunderer calls you to join the families of the gods and has promised to give you what rights you please among the deathless gods and has agreed that for a third part of the circling year your daughter shall go down to darkness and gloom but for the two parts shall be with you and the other deathless gods so has he declared it shall be and has bowed his head in token but come my child obey and be not too angry unrelentingly with the dark-clouded son of cronos but rather increase forthwith for men the fruit that gives them life so spake rhea and rich crowned demeter did not refuse but straightway made fruit to spring up from the rich lands so that the whole wide earth was laden with leaves and flowers then she went and to the kings who deal justice tryptolemus and diocles the horse-driver and to doughty eulpus and calias leader of the people she showed the conduct of her rites and taught them all her mysteries to triptolemus and polyxenus and diocles also awful mysteries which no one may in any way transgress or pry into or utter for deep awe of the gods checks the voice happy is he among men upon earth who has seen these mysteries but he who is uninitiate and who has no part in them never has lot of like good things once he is dead down in the darkness and gloom Soon they do send Plutus as guest to his great house, Plutus who gives wealth to mortal men.

And now, queen of the land of sweet Eleusis and sea-girt Paros and rocky Antron, lady, giver of good gifts, bringer of seasons, queen Deo, be gracious, you and your daughter all beauteous Persephone, and for my song grant me heart-cheering substance.

Stelios BoutarisGUEST
You go to Santorini where you have the volcanic soil.
Stelios BoutarisGUEST

Stelios BoutarisGUEST
You go to the Peloponnese.

Kelly CliffordHOST
Mm.
Marianna BannosGUEST
Um, which I would say anything there is just fresh, but also maybe it's the overall vibe because you're on vacation-
David LeesonNARRATOR
For it is only fair that we, who bring you, should furnish that.

Furthermore, you will win new dominions for the king, Naxos itself and the islands which are its dependents, Paros, Andros, and the rest of those that are called Cyclades.
David LeesonNARRATOR
Making these your starting point, you will easily attack Euboea, which is a great and wealthy island, no smaller than Cyprus and very easy to take.

The Athenians were induced by these promises and granted his request.
Graham RedmanNARRATOR
Miltiades took his army and sailed for Paros, on the pretext that the Parians had brought this on themselves by first sending triremes with the Persian fleet to Marathon.
Graham RedmanNARRATOR
Such was the pretext of his argument, but he had a grudge against the Parians because Lysagoras son of Teisias, a man of Parian descent, had slandered him to Hydarnes the Persian.
