"The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel" is a poem in 17-syllable unrhymed iambic measure of 8 beats and is written in 24 books, one for each letter of the Greek alphabet. It was written by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Today's Question:
If Sicily belongs to Italy, to whom do the Isles of Scilly belong?
I'm going to guess this is off of Great Britain. I only know of the British referring to islands as isles (although I do not actually know if they're alone), such as the Isle of Man or Isle of Wight.
