Zeus? Like the god? I suppose that would make sense then with the ancient Greek. Though maybe it's being here a few days already that's stunted my sense of surprise. Does that make you a goddess? Or human? If you don't me asking.
I suppose that's how most people see it, with the whole time period thing, though for me it's more like that's a hundred years ago instead of me a hundred years in the future. I mean, I've always just lived in the right now- it's still 2012 where I'm from, just the summer.
And Afghanistan is . . . a sad place, really. It can be beautiful at times, but the violence there is devastating. I was an army doctor there before coming back to London, so maybe it's just that I often saw the worst of it. I mainly just interacted with the people speaking Pashto, though sometimes there were a few who spoke Dari. I couldn't really say that I spoke it- I picked up a few useful phrases, and then really relied on the interpreters.
