He came from Malta; and Eumêlus says
He had no dog like him in all his days;
We called him Bull; he went into the dark;
Along those roads we cannot hear him bark.
 
Tymnes (c. 3rd C. BC): [The Maltese Dog], from The Greek Anthology, Vol. 2, 7.211, translated by Edmund Blunden in Halfway House: A Miscellany of New Poems, 1932

The Wider Image: Bee-sting therapy...A Palestinian beekeeper uses smoke to calm bees in the process of collecting honey at a farm in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip April 11, 2016. Rateb Samour sees 250 patients a day, whose complaints range from hair loss to cerebral palsy and cancer. He is not a doctor and has never worked in a hospital. Samour inherited the skill of bee-sting therapy from his father. From 2003 the agricultural engineer dedicated all his time to study and develop the alternative-medicine treatment of apitherapy, which uses bee-related products from honey, propolis - or bee glue used to build hives - to venom.
