Astakos
Astakos (Greek: Αστακός, meaning "lobster") is a town and a former municipality in Aetolia-Acarnania, West Greece, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Xiromero, of which it is a municipal unit. It is located on a bay on the eastern shore of the Ionian Sea, near the southern end of the Acarnanian Mountains. It takes its name from the ancient Acarnanian town Astacus (Ancient Greek: Ἄστακος - Astakos), and was named Dragamesti in the Middle Ages.
It is 16 km southeast of Kalamos (island), 30 km southwest of Agrinio, 35 km northwest of Missolonghi and 55 km southeast of Preveza.

Astacus in Bithynia
Astacus /ˈæstəkəs/ is the name of an ancient city in Bithynia; it was also called Olbia /ˈɒlbiə/. Stephanus of Byzantium records an aetiological myth that it was founded by Astacus, son of Poseidon and the nymph Olbia.
The traditional date of the founding is 712/11 BC, the first year of the 17th Olympiad. In the second book of his History of the Peloponnesian War Thucydides mentions that the tyrant Evarchus was ruler of the town for a period during the years of the decade 430 to 420 BC.
King Zipoetes I of Bithynia made two attempts to absorb Astacus into his kingdom: in 315 BC he was defeated by succors sent by Antigonus Monophthalmos. In 301 BC, he was successful, but the city was destroyed in the war.
Nicomedes I, son of Zipoetes, founded a new city to replace Astacus across from its former location, which he named Nicomedia after himself, bringing some of the Astacan cults to the new site. Nicomedia remained the capital of Bithynia, and became one of the great cities of the Roman east; the Emperor Diocletian made it his usual capital.

Whatchu Know About Us
by: AziatixRap I
‘Till I fade away and my soul cross over
I’m running cross borders, to get this life in order
Always played the bench when I was born to take it farther
23 on the jersey with the dreams of being a starter
Witnessing hatred flying at me from every corner
On the brink of madness but I choose to play it smarter
Work twice as harder, with dreams of being Carter
Reach for the sky to take a sip of heaven’s water
I came in this world scoring seven days a week to get it in
I came here to win, now I finally did
From showing off ribs, no doe for the fridge
Stressing on my future kids, now I’m paying off the crib
My people stucks with me through the harshest weather
And now the sun’s out shining so we march together
‘Cuz we soldiers coming from the ground up, yup
With our bottles up, so what you what you what you know about us
Chorus I
(So whatchu know about us)
Gon’ reach for the sky
Ya know we fly high
That’s how we ride
(Whatchu know about us)
Stack the paper sky high
U know we don’t stop
(Whatchu know about us)
From the cells to the block
To the people on top
Shown’ nothin’ but love
(Whatchu know about us) aye
(Whatchu know about us) aye
Rap II
This is for my 12 hour go getters
Who strives for the better when these dark storms won’t let us
And holding the fort down, we in the zone now
Touch down, 4 seconds, 4th quarter, 4th down
You know this hard work be growing over time
Instead of all these get rich quick schemes slowing up the grind
That’s why we came up to get this cracking
It’s not about stacking, yet more of just making it happen
So starting from breakfast we on post for the grain
Born to die, tryna’ get something off the grave
Shackled up and chained, but through passion and pain
Break loose, now the truth is surpassing the game
We put our hearts to it and push hard
The old shoots down then, out comes new stars
We takes it all the way with no time to fuss
That’s what’s up, on the bubble bound to bust, so what you know about us
Chorus II
(So whatchu know about us)
Gon’ reach for the sky
Ya know we fly high
That’s how we ride
(Whatchu know about us)
Stack the paper sky high
U know we don’t stop
(Whatchu know about us)
From the cells to the block
To the people on top
Shown’ nothin’ but love
(Whatchu know about us) aye
(Whatchu know about us) aye
Bridge

They wanna take us down
But we up in da clouds
We flying’ high tonight
Three Sixty Five
Can’t no one stop us now
Chorus III
(So Whatchu know about us)
Gon’ reach for the sky
Ya know we fly high

From the cells to the block
To the people on top
Shown’ nothin’ but love

(Whatchu know about us) aye
Chorus IV

That’s how we rollin’
Shot callin’
Poppin’ bottles all the night long
