Aristotle, Homer, Shakespeare, Hemingway,Dickens,  Stevens....I just mention a few.   Think of how different life would be if we never read about our favorite philosophies. Never even heard of these authors or their stories.

What would it have been like if Shakespeare was the least known writer on his block?  If  Homer's Aunt  had eight cookbooks on the market?   How would Hemingway have made it if he had to sell his book at a family reunion, but couldn't get time at the Aunt and Uncle's book signing table. He would have been categorized into the children's corner.

   If ancient Greece had not won the war with the Amazons and defeated the plan of Artemis, the God of Self Publishing , then the past I have described would be so.
