Me as a kid, laughing at the crazy grandma from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" sleeping with a knife under her pillow to "protect her from the Turks", versus me as an adult, after learning what the Turks actually did to the Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians.

When I made this list I completely forgot that already did Circe last year. But, you know, it's fine. I love witches. Also I included Enyo and Eris as one day so I'm still drawing 31 new Greeks, this one is just a bonus

N. Renaissance & Romantic artistic movements all depicted seascapes. Esp of maritime peoples like Greeks, Dutch, British & Russians. Enough of the lecture! You should be singing! At this rate we won’t meet our monthly shipwreck quota! Sirens who needs a lozenge?

It is something that actually got inherited by the conquering Mycenaean Greeks who often depicted men and women the same way to represent virility versus fertility plus male vs. female virtues. Centuries later this idea was even inherited by Classical Greeks, Etruscans & Romans!

You're not getting it. LOL. The term "Afro-Asiatic" is in regards to their supranational language family of similar cultures that stretched across North Africa and West Asia before the arrival of Indo-Europeans like Hittites, Iranians, Greeks, Celts and Latins into Mediterranean.

To the ancient Greeks, a hero was a man or woman, often of divine ancestry, who showed special strength, courage, or ability, not necessarily a noble character. Herakles, arguably the greatest of all heroes, killed his wife & children. Just like Medea killed her own children too.

As a volunteer-run organisation, would be impossible without the Greeks, the Spanish, the Germans, the Dutch, the French, the Irish, the Swedes, the Slovenians, the Romanians, the Latvians, the Bulgarians, the Italians, the Dutch and of course the Poles.... 1/3

Sirens and mermaids. Mermaids are a sort of sea nymph with a fish tail who save sailors; but for the Greeks, Sirens were bird-like, um, beauties, who lured them to their doom. Below are from the Bestiary of Anne Walshe (https://t.co/SXENjc1UMk)

Sarpedon, son of Zeus, was slain in the Trojan War. A struggle took place for the possession of his body until Apollo rescued it from the Greeks, washed it, anointed it with ambrosia, and handed it over to Hypnos and Thanatos to be buried.

Art by Swiss painter Henry Fuseli.

Already had a good coffee drink and browse through this at . Great for study of classical civilisation, plus Celts, Romans, Greeks, Samurai & others. I think a catalogue might be in order.
My current TRP is now going under the bed tho. So no books until I finish!
