day 1: a coin is no place for a bird to spend a couple of thousand years.

Day 30: ευδαιμονία, having a good daemon. Bit of a stretch to draw Socrates’ daimon, who would stop him from doing what he shouldn’t.

Flowers a nod to the translation of ‘flourishing’ that some philosophers prefer to ‘happiness’ for ευδαιμονία.

day 28: trident. Poseidon visits an entirely proportionate response upon a vessel whose captain slightly botched the sacrifices.

Hear me out The Iliad, but Menelaus is the damsel and Helen is going to get him back

day 24: wild. Two abandoned babies of probably no significance get lucky and meet a friendly wolf. Nothing remarkable will come of this completely inconsequential event I’m sure.

Day 23 Celestial. More of my awful drawing skills, on the iPad this time messing up a perfectly good photo I took! One celestial things I thought of was the story of the Sun God’s son, Phaethon’s fiery death after a mad chariot ride across the heavens

day 20: clothing. I pulled a big blank with this one so here is a sketch of a statue of Julia Domna, wife of emperor septimius Severus. It’s a great statue - she seems to be properly posing. Alas for the short legs I gave her!

day 16: tablet. Bit of fatigue on this one. I’m not quite sure whether colour or monochrome redeems it most so here are both.

Yeah, that’s the tail end of a Catullus 51 on the other half.
