poliphilo We went to the Pasargad with Elisa. I ate too much. There was a looped video playing on the screen at the far side of the room- an aerial glide around a sun drenched harbour town. I asked the woman who waited on us (she may be the proprietor) if it was someplace in Iran and she said, "No, I think it's probably Corfu."
I looked up the meaning of Pasargad the other day, because I like to know such things. It turns out to be the name of a place- a rural province or district or county in Iran- big in size, small in population- chiefly notable (for outsiders at least) for containing a remarkable ancient monument that locals reverence as the tomb of Solomon's mother and archaeologists are pretty sure is the tomb of Cyrus the Great.
