Broken jars that once held prized Athenian olive oils were found in rooms surrounding the palaestra. Greek athletes customarily covered themselves in the liquid, and the presence of Panathenaic amphoras attests to the luxurious tastes of Macedonian youths.

Yeah, all lubed up. Sounds like these "youths" were there to serve a "poor puss."

The one great debt we owe to the muslims was back when they were into learning (before they decided that the only thing true was the Quran and therefore everything else is false) they preserved a good portion of the writings of Aristotle and also muslim scholars like Averroes wrote many treatises on them, and these became a huge part of the western scholarship and philosophy of the middle ages and down to today. You cannot mention the contributions of men like Thomas Aquinas or Albertus Magnus without also invoking Aristotle.
