 The likelihood of finding a partridge [ˋpɑ tridʒ] in a pear tree is slim. The word comes to us from the Greek perdix, which meant “to break wind,” likely referring to the sound of a bird’s wings. Link

According to Greek legend, the first partridge appeared when Daedalus threw his nephew, Perdix (Brisson, 1760), off the sacred hill of Athena in a fit of jealous rage. Supposedly mindful of his fall, the bird does not build its nest in the trees, nor take lofty flights and avoids high places.

  Zanzibar Gem:   Zamioculcas zamiifolia, the single species of the genus. The botanical name derives from on the one hand the similarity of its foliage to the cycad genus Zamia and on the other hand its kinship to the genus Colocasia under the alternative form 'culcas'. It was first described as Caladium zamiifolium by Loddiges in 1829.

The name Cynic derives from Ancient Greek κυνικός (kynikos), meaning "dog-like", and κύων (kyôn), meaning "dog" (genitive: kynos). One explanation offered in ancient times for why the Cynics were called dogs was because the first Cynic, Antisthenes, taught in the Cynosarges gymnasium at Athens. The word Cynosarges means the place of the white dog. It seems certain, however, that the word dog was also thrown at the first Cynics as an insult for their shameless rejection of conventional manners.

Antisthenes was followed by Diogenes of Sinope. Diogenes was followed by Crates of Thebes who gave away a large fortune so he could live a life of Cynic poverty on the streets of Athens. He married Hipparchia of Maroneia who lived in the same manner that he did. Respected by the people of Athens, he is remembered for being the teacher of Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism.
