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.

Lentes plano-convexas de cuarzo encontradas en el templo de Atenea de Ialisos, Rodas, y datadas del 750-700 a.C. Producen en torno a 10 aumentos con distorsiones y un campo de visión limitado pero, aún así, capaces de mostrar detalles no distinguibles sin ellas. Posiblemente, aquellas de mejor calidad facilitaban a los artesanos trabajar en miniaturas más finas. 📷Georgia Tsouvala et al., 2024 #antiguagrecia #ancientgreece #herramientas #tools

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.)"

✨Pentheus being torn apart by maenads✨
Euripides ‘The Bacchae’ tells the unfortunate tale of Pentheus, the king of Thebes, who banned the worship of Dionysius. This provoked the wrath of the god and led to the women of Thebes breaking out into a Bachhic frenzy. Pentheus was ripped limb from limb. His death was viewed as a sparagmos, where tearing an animal (or human) apart was viewed as a special type of sacrifice. This fresco from the triclinium in the House of the Vettii in Pompeii, seems to run counter to today’s notions of good taste…

Ancient civilizations have always fascinated me. As a side project, I'm delving into how Greece's rich heritage translates into modern media. 🏛️✨
Here is "Seikilos Moderna," composed by Daniel Hay, accompanied by a digital artwork featuring Euterpe, the muse of flute-playing.
