DICE GAMES
"At the Egyptian city of Naucratis there was a famous old god whose name was Thoth; the bird which is called the Ibis was sacred to him, and he was the inventor of many arts, such as arithmetic and calculation and geometry and astronomy and draughts and dice, but his great discovery was the use of letters." Plato, Phaedrus
