@MaxenceThollet @studio_goblinz *Ghibli: hot dry southeasterly wind of Libya*
On this day in 1911, an Italian pilot named Giulio Gavotti drops four grenades from an Etrich Taube monoplane onto Ottoman positions in Libya. It's history's first air strike. No casualties are inflicted.

For #WorldLiteracyDay my favourite papyrus: a North African Greek actor's rehearsal script for the bereaved Admetus' role in Euripides' Alcestis; extra-big letters for reading off while gesticulating: 'I'll never touch the lyre again, nor lift my heart in song to the Libyan pipe"

In the Iliad, Poseidon drives a chariot drawn by "brazen-hoofed horses over the sea's surface."
Apollonius said the horses of Poseidon emerged from the sea & galloped across the Libyan sands.
Part horse / part fish: HIPPOCAMPUS.
