maryrenaultfics summer ficlet: research links

a compilation of the interesting links I found for what is going to be the most ridiculously well-researched ~500-word ficlet of all time. (OF ALL TIME!)

I had bought a house near the Kephissos, just out of town; a pleasant place, not too fashionable, in reach of friends but not in the path of time-wasters. The garden ran to the river; birds sang in the willows, and at night one heard the stream. There were orchards and small vineyards between the houses; the road was quiet, so that passers-by drew a second glance.
