There is a profound historical thread connecting Hector of Troy, Sultan Mehmed II, and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Despite living centuries apart, they share one legendary legacy: defending Anatolia from Greek invasions. 🛡️ Hector (Antiquity): He was the original defender of the Dardanelles, giving his life to protect Troy and Anatolian soil from the invading Greek coalition during the Trojan War. ⚔️ Mehmed the Conqueror (1453): According to 15th-century historian Kritovoulos, after taking Istanbul, Mehmed II visited the ruins of Troy. Standing there and he declared that he had finally "avenged the blood of Hector and the Trojans." 🪖 Atatürk (1915): Centuries later, just miles away from the ancient site of Troy, Atatürk successfully commanded the defense of Gallipoli (Çanakkale). He halted the massive Allied naval and land invasion of WWI, securing the straits and he even later stopped the Greek invasion of Anatolia in 1922 all over again.

Mass for Ann Widdecombe in St Teresa’s Church, Clarendon St, Dublin tomorrow, Wednesday 15th July at 12.45 p.m. All are welcome. Please forward. Ann visited Leinster House in June 2015 at the invitation of the Oireachtas Human Dignity Group and addressed a number of TDs and Senators. All who met her could only be taken by her honesty, integrity, wit and sense of fun. May she rest in peace.
