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.

Enduring landscapes of the Mediterranean. 🌊💮🍃🌊
3,500 years ago in the Minoan frescoes of Akrotiri on the Aegean island of Santorini (Thera), flowering plants were painted in vivid detail before being buried by volcanic ash.
Scholars have debated the identity of some of these plants.

Associated Press: Athens is cleaning its all-marble Olympic stadium for the first time in more than a century. “Athens’ U-shaped Panathenaic Stadium — made entirely of white marble — is getting its first systematic cleaning in more than a century. Rebuilt for the first modern Olympics in 1896, the site is the ceremonial send-off point for the Olympic flame, including for Los Angeles 2028.”

@skua And you used one of my favorite terms -- #Eumenides! I wrote a play in college (titled "Vendetta") based on #Aeschylus' #Oresteia, with #Athena as a slick lawyer and #Apollo as a mayor on the take!

OUCH! The Translator of #TheOdyssey Just Slammed #ChristopherNolan’s Movie
“I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script,” wrote #EmilyWilson, the first woman to translate The Odyssey into English.
By Josh OsmanPublished: Jul 27, 2026 1:20 PM EDT
Excerpt: "Throughout her piece, the scholar notes that no adaptation should necessarily follow an original exactly. (In fact, she praises some radically reinterpretations of The Odyssey, including #MargaretAtwood's #Penelopiad, #MadelineMiller's #Circe, and other literary classics that riff off the text, including those of #Euripides, #JohnMilton, and #JamesJoyce.)"

#Alkibiades and #Sokrates by @[email protected]
Alkibiades was so hot that he defected from Athens to Sparta, then from Sparta to Persia, and was still taken back by Athens. He is said to have been in love with #Socrates, whose looks were described as resembling a satyr, something Kebriones captures well in their drawing.

Happy #JuneSolstice to all who celebrate ☀️
It's now officially summer where I live and while the #SummerSolstice itself is not celebrated any more, there are St. John's fires on St. John Eve and 7 different herbs are hung up to protect the home in some households.
St. John's Day celebrates the birthday of John the Baptist on 24 June. In ancient Athens, the new year was celebrated on the first new moon after the solstice, the first day of the month Hekatombion. -
