Les Neuf Preux
The Nine Worthies are nine historical, scriptural, mythological or semi-legendary personages who were established in the Middle Ages as a set of heroes personifying the ideals of chivalry. All may loosely be termed "Princes", whether kings, rulers, sons of kings, dictators, or simple leaders. In French they are Les Neuf Preux, meaning "Nine Valiants", which term gives a slightly more focussed idea of the sort of moral virtue they were deemed to represent so perfectly, that of soldierly courage and generalship. The study of the life of each would thus form a good education for the aspirant to chivalric status. They are as follows:
* Hector * Alexander the Great * Julius Caesar * Joshua * David * Judas Maccabeus
* King Arthur * Charlemagne * Godfrey of Bouillon
My 3rd round matchup in the new group "Get Pushed" I was matched with the talented jocelynnhsu. She noted there was nothing "green" in my stream and said - " Well, I don't seem to see a lot of green in your pictures so I challenge you to shoot something green! It can be processed to be green or it can be naturally green like a leaf !" While the nine ball is yellow the felt on the table is green.
Heck, that's enough seriousness for the day... let's play another game of nine ball.
