I’m thinking maybe the LIVESTOCK was buried with the FARMER...not the other way around.
All had the same disease? Anthrax? So they were done in together?
Maybe ‘e was just pinin’ for the Holsteins?
The name “Mavropigi” should mean “black spring.” I don’t know what ethnic group would have been living in that part of Macedonia at that time, whether Macedonians proper or some barbarian tribe (Illyrian or other). This would be within a few decades of Xerxes’ march through the area, but this is rather inland from the route Xerxes would have taken.
