It looks rather like the British Museum.

There must be a clue here somewhere......who's that sitting on top?

by Susie Thu Mar 03, 2011 1:56 pm

Well I do believe it is the Ashmolean Museum

by Guest Thu Mar 03, 2011 6:15 pm

It is indeed that very place.

by Guest Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:42 pm

Ahem!

You there Soos? Laughing

Sorry!!!! Forgot it was my turn

See if you can work out the connection between an arrow, the founder of Athens, a poet and very small horses

by Chas Sat Mar 12, 2011 5:03 pm

I don't want to be picky but ........

I can think of at least three nominees for "founder of Athens", depending on definition:
Theseus;
Solon;
Cecrops.

Any additional characteristics would help.

by Susie Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:49 pm

Well try and tie one of those up with the other parts of the clue!!! LOL Don't want to make it too easy do we?

by Susie Mon Mar 14, 2011 1:24 pm

OK, I give in try Theseus

by Guest Tue Mar 15, 2011 6:20 pm

Is the very small horses the band called Foals?

by Susie Tue Mar 15, 2011 9:30 pm

No Lydia, think modern day Greece, as in today, in fact all the connections and the answer have a Greek connection, hope that gives a huge hint

by Guest Wed Mar 16, 2011 6:22 pm

I'm stuck. Is this political?

by Susie Wed Mar 16, 2011 10:59 pm

Nope, you are looking for a Greek island Google will help if you shove the right thing in. All the clues are a link to this island

by saunders Thu Mar 17, 2011 11:34 am

Skyros
Theseus died on Skyros.
The grave of poet Rupert Brooks is on the island
The island has It's own breed of Syrian ponies

by Guest Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:55 pm

And skyros is Greek for arrow, is it?

by Susie Thu Mar 17, 2011 3:13 pm

Skyros it is!!!

But Skyros does not mean arrow as far as I know.

The arrow was a reference to Achilles who was hidden on Skyros by his mother in an attempt to protect him from his tragic destiny at Troy

I don't think I will try any more cryptic questions, they are hard work LOL
