During a storm they were washed up on the deserted island of Ata where they were marooned for 15 months. They were eventually rescued by an Australian sea captain and his crew.
During the time that they were marooned the boys managed to cooperate and establish a functioning and successful community – unlike the grim circumstances in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies, released in 1951.

Phryne was a famed courtesan in ancient Athens, born about 371 BCE and extraordinarily beautiful. She was prosecuted on a capital charge (possibly “impiety”) and brought before the court where she was defended by one of her lovers, the orator Hypereides.
During the trial Hypereides dramatically tore off Phryne’s robes to show the judges her beautiful breasts, making the point that only a God could sculpt a body so perfect and that executing or imprisoning her would be blasphemous and disrespectful to the Gods. Phryne was subsequently acquitted and freed. Text source: ancient.origins.netSource: yes-slipperytoad.tumblr.com
