Right... Time to log off and curl up with Cthulhu for a little while... To be more specific, the first play of 'Reign of Cthulhu'. Toodles!

#MuseumsUnlocked - Storms

Not my usual stuff, but I'm also a massive comic fan, so...

Here's Halle Berry's Ororo Munroe/Storm Costume from the 2014 film 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'.

A quick #ClassicsCurio - Josephus claims that mandrake (which he calls 'Baras) had to be harvested by a dog on a chain, so that the root's scream as it was pulled out would not harm any humans. Thanks to @CBPolt for the inspiration!

#LatinForTheDay - 21 November

Otium divos rogat in patenti
prensus Aegaeo, simul atra nubes
condidit lunam neque certa fulgent
sidera nautis;

otium bello furiosa Thrace,
otium Medi pharetra decori,
Grosphe, non gemmis neque purpura venale
neque auro.

Horace, Odes 2.16.1-8

#LatinForTheDay - 19 November

"cur non sub alta vel platano vel hac
pinu iacentes sic temere et rosa
canos odorati capillos,
dum licet, Assyriaque nardo

potamus uncti? dissipat Euhius...

The only Fleets I care about are in Iliad Book 2...

This coin comes from a remarkable issue of ca. 480 BC and features an Obverse with two ram's head rhyta, surmounted by dolphins.
