I'm very very proud because Pericles, the first article I rewrote, is now a FA!!!

Is this the portrait of yours, Δομήνικε ? Is this the portrait of the greatest painter of all times? If yes, I feel like Odysseas Elytis: "lifted on the two enormous wings of Doménicos up to his skies".

Zeus, King of the Gods, we rewrote and saved Greek Mythology!

I didn't want to be called a sexist. Therefore, Aspasia, Pericles companion, is also a FA now.

I admit it now; I am an admiror of him. Maybe because he is everything I'm not. I owed him a star. The article about Alcibiades, Pericles' ptotégé, is now FA.

I pay my respects to you, the greatest orators of all ages. Demosthenes, son of Demosthenes, this star is for you.

We lost a war, but we won a star!

Valerius was humiliated, the bloodshed lasted for more than 600 years, the battles had no end, and now you have the chance to read the full story in this article that the Wikicommunity honored with this star

My Wikipedia contributions

I decided it's high time I noticed some of my contributions, intending to proliferate them!
The edits were first edited by me. Substantial rewrites by other contributors in these edits are noted.
The rewrites were edited by other contributors, but I have substantially modified their content, mostly by adding supplementary material.

Featured contributions

I have substantially (re)written (until now!) six featured articles. Additionally, I have significantly contributed to the Law article during its FAC, and, in collaboration with other editors, I achieved to maintain five more articles to FA status during their nominations in FAR(C):

Pericles

Featured in August 2006. "Today's featured article" in September 2006. Rewritten by me in collaboration with Konstable, Robth and Druworos. Very valuable were also the contibutions of Septentrionalis and Wandalstouring.

Featured in September 2006. "Today's featured article" in February 2007. Bcasterline reviewed the article and helped with the prose.

Alcibiades

Featured in October 2006. "Today's featured article" in January 2007. Dmcheatw offered the first extensive rewriting to this article. I then got it and was helped (once again!) by Robth. I must also point out the useful suggestions of Njál.

Demosthenes

Additional very helpful copy-edits and MoS controls during the FAC by Finetooth, Casliber and Epbr123. Giorgos Tzimas translated Julian's map. Talessman created the Seleucid Empire's map.
