“BEWARE OF GREEKS BEARING GIFTS.”

Origin

An allusion to the story of the wooden horse of Troy used by the Greeks to trick their way into the city. It is recorded in Virgil's Aeneid, Book 2, 19 BC:

"Do not trust the horse, Trojans. Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts."

 The point of this Blog page is that with your own effort in your own market, you should develop the reputation as “a local authority” and present in writing or phone to the local radio/TV stations your credentials and let them know that should they ever have the opportunity to discuss your specialty on the air that you would be ever so willing.  Some individuals purchase their own radio time and get sponsors to get their message across.
