I don't know what that is, and attempts to determine it keep getting me travel guides and the Battle of Marathon.

Yeah, this is why you shouldn't get your historical information from songs. It being Greek too and all.  :-D

Us Norse just called it "The Great City" (Miklagaršr) and when people talked about "The city" my mind immediately went to Constantinople as well.

Ice Ton Poland?

Yeah,  I wasn't picking up "Istanbul" either, sorry.

treyhawk:
BLACK FLAG?  Henry Rollins, Greg Ginn, and the boys PLAYING A WEDDING?

I am definitely with Marten on this one.

That is one wedding I wish I could have been at.  Where's a frikkin' time machine when you really need one?
