In Greek mythology, King Ixion was spared punishment by Zeus, but took advantage by trying to seduce his wife Hera, and was punished by being tied to a burning rotating wheel in the underworld for eternity.
The picture here is scanned from the 1882 book Lucile, by Edward Robert Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, in which it’s referenced as a reminder, a caution against illicit love.

Another engraving from Homer’s Odyssey. Seems like a good time for them :-)
This time i included the border, which is also used for the full-page illustrations.
Can you tell me more about what’s going on here? This is at the start of the poem. See Web page for my uninformed guesses :-)

Three of my plants have gone missing from the common area over the last 18 months. The last one stolen was a laurel bush, which feels like something out of Ancient Greek mythology. The gods are displeased, which I have let them know.
