The second would be Allan’s sense of himself as an American, independent of his Latvian roots. The third would be Allan’s sense of how the norm is molded—and also transformed—in music and culture; which in…
Ancient Greece was a land of warring clan-like city-states dispersed throughout the nation, filled with people who spoke many different dialects of a core language.
