Galatea, “ she who is milk-white “.

Galatea is also the name of Polyphemus's object

of desire in Theocritus's Idylls VI and XI

and is linked with Polyphemus again in the myth

of Acis and Galatea in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

——

Galatea (circa 1880) by Gustave Moreau

“As wave is driven by wave
And each, pursued, pursues the wave ahead,
So time flies on and follows, flies, and follows,
Always, for ever and new...”

A wonderful and mesmerising painting by Roelandt Savery about the story of Orpheus, told by Ovid. Orpheus had the power to enchant with his music not only all living creatures, but also the trees and the rocks. Be enchanted by the music in Room 17: https://t.co/MWZIkBoYjD

But on the ravish’d virgin vengeance takes,
Her shining hair is chang’d to hissing snakes.
These in her Aegis Pallas joys to bear,
The hissing snakes her foes more sure ensnare,
Than they did lovers once, when shining hair. 🐍

Metamorphoses, Book IV — Ovid

The Great Flood may not be a myth. The flood appears in ancient Sumerian, in the Hindu Matsya Purana, in the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, in the Bible & with ancient Greeks w/ Zeus' flooding of the world in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Scientists have found evidence in the Black Sea.
