One lesson I still remember from junior high school 📚
The ancient Greeks and Romans often showed two different sides of warfare and strategy .
The Greeks are remembered for using intelligence and strategy to overcome stronger or better-equipped enemies, proving that brains can defeat brute force .
While the Romans became famous for discipline, organization, and overwhelming numbers, building powerful legions that could outlast many opponents .
One side is often seen as outsmarting the other as outnumbering and overpowering.
But both left a lesson that still stands today:
Strategy and structure can both change history. 🌍#History #AncientGreece #RomanEmpire #Education #Lessons #Thinking

So, the last movie hubby and I (and our shared bestie) saw in a theatre was #Dune. I think we need to see #TheOdyssey on the big screen. I mean, #Circe, Penelope, #Telemachus #Oikos ("homecoming" not the yogurt)?! This looks like it covers most of the important stuff!

✨Dionysus and Spes (Maybe)✨
Dionysus is dressed in his panther-skin best and wears a garland to boot. He’s joined by a smaller figure more archaic in style which is thought to represent Spes, the personification of hope. But maybe that’s more HOPEFUL thinking since one of stops on the journey of provenance was as part of the Hope collection. Either way, this beautiful sculpture also considered to be a Roman reimagining of a Greek bronze from the fourth century BCE.
