The Goths in South Russia
One of the most revolutionary reconstructions of history propounded by Professor Rostovtseff in his recent book on Iranians and Greeks in Southern Russia (Oxford University Press, 1922), would appear to have passed unchallenged; and yet, if it were accepted, it would surely mean that no inconsiderable part of the history of the Roman Empire and its invaders would have to be rewritten, or at least conceived in a new light. From the results of the excavation of German graves in South Russia dating apparently from the first century B.C. and from the first and second centuries of our era, he has demonstrated that the Dnieper basin was gradually occupied by German tribes during the early period of the Roman Empire, and that it is only in the light of this fact that we are able fully to understand the invasion of South Russia by the Goths. ‘The Gothic invasion was not the first, but the last act of the activity of the Germans in South Russia.’

Black widowed tarantula sized evil
Nurtures her children well
As they all take a bite out of human flesh
Watching them choke on their own blood
All little teeny tiny beady black eyes stare
At the food they see
They smell a human female
They'll have to take their bite
Poison scares the snakes that try to devour their mother's eggs
The snake drops dead after seeing the mother
Realizing that they're not bird's eggs
The children see their awful mother
Mean and cruel
Evil and heartless
At least cold and black hearted people have hearts
The children get sick of their mother's evil
So soon they prepare to defeat
The evil that lies beneath a thorax and eight legs
To them this is a victorious fight
They look at their evil mother
They see what evil holds
They look at her and then they devour her
After reading about this
Little Carrie White looked at her own evil mother
Realizing with her abilities, she can do the same thing.
