We are so very thrilled to bring you this ancient Greek saga handed down throughout the centuries in our family. Scribed initially on parchment, papyrus, animal skins, and through word-of-mouth, CG Blade's Great-grandfather, Angelo Pappas, pieced this fable together using the tools available to him at the time. He passed away in 1974 after a long and fruitful life. It is indeed an honor to bring this story to you in its entirety completely untouched with updated editing. A tale of love, courage, and bravery in the midst of ancient Greece, we present to you 'In The Path Of The Beast' initially published by Evangelos Pappazisis (Angelo Pappas), and translated into English by Stavroula Will, (Rose Will) in 1952. A mere two copies of this book remained in existence until Jackie Siefert-Pappas transcribed it this past year. A HUGE debt of gratitude and a loving "thank you" to Jackie for the countless hours she put into transcribing this story from the hardbound edition. The illustrations you see in this book were scanned from the original book because the plates no longer exist. The images are placed into the exact spot in this book as the original printing. If you notice breaks or blank spots after a paragraph on an unfinished page, this is the reason for the continuation of the image in its original position to the next page. Pseudosynth Press Publishing In the year 1206 A.D., Constantinople fell into the hands of the Gauls. In those days, the French Gauls to weaken the military powers of Constantinople sent a great military force to Epirus. They wished to cut off a route and thus prevent Constantinople from receiving help from any distant provinces. The military force of the French went from Santa Quaranta and proceeded toward the city of Phoenice. The Phoenicians fought bravely against the invaders, but since they were greatly outnumbered, the city fell to the Gauls. The city was destroyed, and later a village was reconstructed and named Phoenice, and it is this village that is there today. The notable happenings in connection with this attack by the Gauls were their religious fanaticism. When they conquered a city or village, they immediately destroyed Orthodox priests and anyone who was educated to the extent of being able to read and write. After the subjugation of the land, a young ancestor, related to my mother's family, was sent to Constantinople and after a four-year training period, he returned to the village to become its first priest in some time. After that, all male members born to my mother's ancestors became priests. They would preach in all the surrounding villages. This custom was continued for six hundred years, from the year 1200 A.D. to the year 1800 A.D. A great deal of the story I have written was by hand on skins and parchments locked away by priests. My father, who was also a priest, entrusted a great many of these parchments to my mother. My mother kept my father's will and these precious papers in a trunk after my revered father died at the age of twenty-seven. This saga of love, prehistoric beasts, and a family in turmoil will keep you enthralled until the very end. Evangelos Pappazisis (Angelos Pappas)
