  1. #ReliefWednesday

    From the eastern stairs of the Apadana of Persepolis, this frieze shows a lion attacking a bull. While the frieze dates to the C6th-C5th BCE, the imagery is much older and symbolically connected with the Indo-Iranians from the 4th millennium BCE.

  6. I took as token of surrender
    Strange gifts received from silent sender:
    A mouse, five arrows, frog and bird.
    He walked away without a word,
    Requiring no acute retort.
    But soon I learned their true import:
    That we’d be wise to swim or fly
    Or hide… else in five days we die.
