Aphrodite was the Olympian goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation.
She was depicted as a beautiful woman often accompanied by the winged godling Eros (Love).
Her attributes included a dove, apple and a swan, as representation of her beauty .
In mythology, Aphrodite is cited as partly responsible for the Trojan War. At the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, Eris (goddess of strife) offered a golden apple for the most beautiful goddess. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite vied for the honour, and Zeus appointed the Trojan prince Paris as judge. To influence his decision, Athena promised him strength and invincibility, Hera offered the regions of Asia and Europe, and Aphrodite offered the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris chose Aphrodite and so the victorious goddess gave him fair Helen of Sparta. However, as she was already the wife of Menelaos, Paris's abduction of Helen provoked the Spartan king to enlist the assistance of his brother Agamemnon and send an expedition to Troy to take back Helen.
Hesiod describes the goddess as 'quick-glancing', 'foam-born', 'smile-loving', and most often as 'golden Aphrodite'. Similarly, in Homer's description of the Trojan War in the Iliad, she is described as 'golden' and 'smiling' and supports the Trojans in the war. In notable episodes, Aphrodite protects her son Aeneas from Diomedes and saves the hapless Paris from the wrath of Menelaos.

In Greek mythology, Athena was believed to have been born from the forehead of her father Zeus. In some versions of the story, Athena has no mother and is born from Zeus' forehead by parthenogenesis. In others, such as Hesiod's Theogony, Zeus swallows his consort Metis, who was pregnant with Athena; in this version, Athena is first born within Zeus and then escapes from his body through his forehead. In the founding myth of Athens, Athena bested Poseidon in a competition over patronage of the city by creating the first olive tree. She was known as Athena Parthenos "Athena the Virgin," but in one archaic Attic myth, the god Hephaestus tried and failed to rape her, resulting in Gaia giving birth to Erichthonius, an important Athenian founding hero. Athena was the patron goddess of heroic endeavor; she was believed to have aided the heroes Perseus, Heracles, Bellerophon, and Jason. Along with Aphrodite and Hera, Athena was one of the three goddesses whose feud resulted in the beginning of the Trojan War.

The cicadas are a superfamily, the Cicadoidea, of insects in the order Hemiptera (true bugs). They are in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers. The superfamily is divided into two families, the Tettigarctidae, with two species in Australia, and the Cicadidae, with more than 3,000 species described from around the world; many species remain undescribed.
Cicadas have prominent eyes set wide apart, short antennae, and membranous front wings. They have an exceptionally loud song, produced in most species by the rapid buckling and unbuckling of drumlike tymbals. The earliest known fossil Cicadomorpha appeared in the Upper Permian period; extant species occur all around the world in temperate to tropical climates. They typically live in trees, feeding on watery sap from xylem tissue, and laying their eggs in a slit in the bark. Most cicadas are cryptic. The vast majority of species are active during the day as adults, with some calling at dawn or dusk. Only a rare few species are known to be nocturnal.
One exclusively North American genus, Magicicada (the periodical cicadas), which spend most of their lives as underground nymphs, emerge in predictable intervals of 13 or 17 years, depending on the species and the location. The unusual duration and synchronization of their emergence may reduce the number of cicadas lost to predation, both by making them a less reliably available prey (so that any predator that evolved to depend on cicadas for sustenance might starve waiting for their emergence), and by emerging in such huge numbers that they will sate any remaining predators before losing enough of their number to threaten their survival as a species.
The annual cicadas are species that emerge every year. Though these cicadas' life cycles can vary from 1–9 or more years as underground larvae, their emergence above ground as adults is not synchronized, so some members of each species appear every year.
Cicadas have been featured in literature since the time of Homer's Iliad and as motifs in art from the Chinese Shang dynasty. They have also been used in myth and folklore as symbols of carefree living and immortality. The cicada is also mentioned in Hesiod's Shield (ll.393–394), in which it is said to sing when millet first ripens. Cicadas are eaten by humans in various countries, including China, where the nymphs are served deep-fried in Shandong cuisine.

Three LED lights (and one LED torch inside the can). When you open a can of worms you are doing what in Greek mythology Pandora did when she opened the "box" (a jar actually): all sorts of misery will escape and make human life what it is. But one of the evil things stayed in Pandora's box and is with us as well: hope. It may be the most vicious of all because it gives us the power to endure misery and carry on. Hope itself is a very ambivalent thing and Hesiod himself, the Greek writer around 700 B.C., was well aware of its flip side - illusion.
Rough is the road to happiness
- HESIOD -
A lot of sweat put the immortal gods
to the forefront of the virtue reaching endeavor.
Long and hard and painful
the road to happiness in the begining.
But when you get there,
it becomes so easy
and pleasant that you forget
all the hardships that preceded.

The Rioni or Rion River (Georgian: რიონი, Rioni; Ancient Greek: Φᾶσις, Phᾶsis) is the main river of western Georgia. It originates in the Caucasus Mountains, in the region of Racha and flows west to the Black Sea, entering it north of the city of Poti (near ancient Phasis). The city of Kutaisi, once the ancient city of Colchis, lies on its banks. It drains the western Transcaucasus into the Black Sea while its sister, the Kura River, drains the eastern Transcaucasus into the Caspian Sea.
Known to the ancient Greeks as the Phasis River, Rioni was first mentioned by Hesiod in his Theogony (l.340); Plato has Socrates remark: "I believe that the earth is very large and that we who dwell between the pillars of Hercules and the river Phasis live in a small part of it about the sea, like ants or frogs about a pond" (Phaedo, 109a). Later writers like Apollonius Rhodius (Argonautica 2.12.61), Virgil (Georgics 4.367) and Aelius Aristides (Ad Romam 82) considered it the easternmost limit of the navigable seas. Socrates in Phaedo 109a referred to the portion of the world he knew of as between the Pillars of Hercules and the River Phasis, while Herodotus and Anaximander considered Rioni as a boundary between Europe and Asia. The famed voyage of Jason and the Argonauts, though semi-mythological, was said to have occurred by the Argonauts sailing up the Rioni River from its mouth at the Black Sea at Poti, to Kutaisi, Georgia.
"Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one;
for the larger the load,
the greater will be the profit upon profit."
- Hesiod

Iris is the goddess of the rainbow. According to Hesiod's Theogony, she is the daughter of Thaumas and the Oceanid Electra and the sister of the Harpies. Iris was the messenger of the Olympian gods, and she also served nectar to the goddesses and gods to drink. Iris links the gods to humanity. She travels with the speed of wind from one end of the world to the other and into the depths of the sea and the underworld.
Seeing the wonderful color feast offered by the water-soaked leaves, it is easy to understand that the nature that surrounds us was definitely a source of inspiration for this ancient myth as well.
Remember, there is no Planet B.
This is the "Dark" version II.
Ή τοι μεν πρώτιστα Χάος γένετο.
In the beginning, there was chaos.

Defined as deep darkness, shadow, was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's Theogony places him as one of the first five beings to come into existence, born from Chaos.
In the beginning, the race of talking humanity was golden. They lived like gods, without sorrows, and there was no need for agricultural work as nature offered all they needed. Hesiod, Works and Days (Ἔργα καὶ Ἡμέραι"). Hesiod wrote his book around 700 B.C.
It will not always be summer ...
Hesiod
Hesiod, Greek Hesiodos, Latin Hesiodus, (flourished c. 700 BC, around the same time as Homer), one of the earliest Greek poets, often called the “father of Greek didactic poetry.” Two of his complete epics have survived, the Theogony, relating the myths of the gods, and the Works and Days, describing peasant life.

In Greek mythology, two springs sacred to the Muses were located here: the Aganippe and the Hippocrene, both of which bear "horse" ( ippo ) in their names.
In a related myth, the Hippocrene spring was created when the winged horse Pegasus aimed his hoof at a rock, striking it with such force that the spring burst from the spot.
On Mount Helicon too was the spring where Narcissus was inspired by his own beauty.
Mount Helicon and the Hippocrene spring were considered to be a source of poetic inspiration. In the late seventh century BCE, the poet Hesiod placed a reference to the Muses on the Helicon at the very beginning of his Theogony.
This is the statue on top of the Court House in Georgetown, Texas. I searched the Internet to find out more about her. Themis is untranslatable. A gift of the gods and a mark of civilized existence, sometimes it means right custom, proper procedure, social order, and sometimes merely the will of the gods. Interestingly, the blind fold and sword weren't added until around the 16th century. I couldn't find out what the blindfold represents. Here's some info from Wikipedia

The personification of abstract concepts is characteristic of the greeks.|date=October 2015}} The ability of the goddess Themis to foresee the future enabled her to become one of the Oracles of Delphi, which in turn led to her establishment as the goddess of divine justice.
Some classical representations of Themis did not show her blindfolded, nor was she holding a sword. The sword is also believed to represent the ability Themis had from cutting fact from fiction; to her there was no middle ground. Themis built the Oracle at Delphi and was herself oracular. According to another legend, Themis received the Oracle at Delphi from Gaia and later gave it to Phoebe.[4]
When Themis is disregarded, Nemesis brings just and wrathful retribution; thus Themis shared the Nemesion temple at Rhamnous. Themis is not wrathful: she, "of the lovely cheeks", was the first to offer Hera a cup when she returned to Olympus distraught over threats from Zeus.[5]
Themis presided over the proper relation between man and woman, the basis of the rightly ordered family (the family was seen as the pillar of the deme), and judges were often referred to as "themistopóloi" (the servants of Themis). Such was also the basis for order upon Olympus. Even Hera addressed her as "Lady Themis." The name of Themis might be substituted for Adrasteia in telling of the birth of Zeus on Crete.
Themis was present at Delos to witness the birth of Apollo. According to Ovid, it was Themis rather than Zeus who told Deucalion to throw the bones of "his Mother" over his shoulder to create a new race of humankind after the deluge.
Hesiod's description and contrast to Dike[edit]
In Greek mythology, Hesiod mentions[6] Themis among the six sons and six daughters of Gaia and Uranus (Earth and Sky). Among these Titans of primordial myth, few were venerated at specific sanctuaries in classical times.
Themis occurred in Hesiod's Theogony as the first recorded appearance of Justice as a divine personage. Drawing not only on the socio-religious consciousness of his time but also on many of the earlier cult-religions, Hesiod described the forces of the universe as cosmic divinities. Hesiod portrayed temporal justice, Dike, as the daughter of Zeus and Themis.
Dike executed the law of judgments and sentencing and, together with her mother Themis, carried out the final decisions of Moirai. For Hesiod, Justice is at the center of religious and moral life, who, independently of Zeus, is the embodiment of divine will. This personification of Dike will stand in contrast to justice viewed as custom or law, and as retribution or sentence.[7]
Leica M8, Elmar (collapsible) 50/2.8. Works and Days is the title of Hesiod's instructions for a successful farming life. Antiquity, in this case, is eminently practical.
Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you; she is after your barn.
--Hesiod
Pandora's box is an artifact in Greek mythology connected with the myth of Pandora in Hesiod's Works and Days. He reported that curiosity led her to open a container left in care of her husband, thus releasing physical and emotional curses upon mankind.
According to Hesiod, when Prometheus stole fire from heaven, Zeus, the king of the gods, took vengeance by presenting Pandora to Prometheus' brother Epimetheus. Pandora opened a jar left in her care containing sickness, death and many other unspecified evils which were then released into the world. Though she hastened to close the container, only one thing was left behind – usually translated as Hope, though it could also have the pessimistic meaning of "deceptive expectation".
From this story has grown the idiom "to open a Pandora's box", meaning to do or start something that will cause many unforeseen problems. A modern, more colloquial equivalent is "to open a can of worms".

En la mitología griega, Lete o Leteo (en griego antiguo Λήθη Lếthê, ‘olvido’ u ‘ocultación’) es uno de los ríos del Hades. Beber de sus aguas provocaba a los difuntos un olvido completo de toda su vida anterior. Algunos griegos antiguos creían que bebían de este río las almas antes de reencarnasen, de forma que no recordasen sus vidas pasadas.
Lete era también una náyade, hija de Eris (‘Discordia’ en la Teogonía de Hesíodo), si bien probablemente sea un personificación separada del olvido más que una referencia al río que lleva su nombre.
Algunas religiones mistéricas privadas enseñaban la existencia de otro río, el Mnemósine, cuyas aguas al ser bebidas hacían recordar todo y alcanzar la omnisciencia. A los iniciados se enseñaba que se les daría a elegir de qué río beber tras la muerte y que debían beber del Mnemósine en lugar del Lete. Estos dos ríos aparecen en varios versos inscritos en placas de oro del siglo IV a. C. en adelante, halladas en Turios al sur de Italia y por todo el mundo griego
Los muertos bebiendo las aguas del río Letheo-Kennington
LEYENDA:
Aunque no destaca por su caudal ni por su longitud, el río Limia gozó de trascendencia internacional durante la Edad Antigua.
Tiene su fuente primigenia en uno de los montes de la Sierra de San Mamed, el Talariño (en Sarreaus). Desde allí hasta su desembocadura en Viana do Castelo, sus 135 kilómetros de curso internacional se alimentan de otros afluentes, entre los que se encuentra el canal de la antigua laguna de Antela. Recorre las comarcas gallegas a las que da nombre –Alta y Baixa Limia– y pasa por tierras del norte de Portugal, donde se le denomina “Lima”. Cerca de su desembocadura da nombre a la villa de Ponte de Lima (considerada la tercera más antigua del país luso porque fue fundada por Teresa de León en el año 1125).
Lo que hace único a este curso fluvial es su antiquísima fama, pues ya los autores clásicos lo tuvieron presente en sus obras: Salustio, Estrabón, Tito Livio, Apiano, Silio Itálico, Plutarco y Floro. Estos politeístas creían que al norte del Limia se encontrarían los felices “Campos Elíseos”, una especie de Paraíso, pero atravesar sus tranquilas aguas conllevaría perder los recuerdos para siempre (e incluso la vida); pues lo identificaban con el río Lethes (nombre griego), o Flumen Oblivionis –”río del Olvido”–
Así lo creyeron los soldados de Décimo Junio Bruto cuando llegaron a sus orillas en el año 138 antes de Cristo, poniendo una barrera infranqueable a sus ansias de conquista. Pero este valiente general romano decidió cruzar sus aguas para desmentirlo. Según las crónicas, tomó elestandarte de su ejército y atravesó el cauce para, desde la otra orilla, llamar por su nombre a los temerosos soldados demostrando que no había muerto ni perdido la memoria. Una vez franqueada esta frontera fluvial, siguieron su avance por territorios galaicos hasta llegar al Atlántico, donde una puesta de sol les provocó tal temor que les hizo dar la vuelta. La hazaña limiana y su triunfo contra los bracarenses llevó a Bruto a conseguir el sobrenombre de “Galaico” y el título de procónsul de los Lusitanos y Galaicos.
Observa los días de Zeus y enseña su observancia a tus servidores, con arreglo al buen orden. El trigésimo día del mes es el mejor para examinar los trabajos y pagarles el salario, cuando los pueblos se conducen discriminando con verdad unos días de otros.
Los trabajos y los días

What is this black figure doing by the frozen canal?
Is he the Pyrphoros Titan,the Fire-Bringer,who holds the fire in his hand?
It must be Προμηθεύς (Prometheus) ,a Titan of Greek mythology,who stole fire from the Gods on Mount Olympus & brought it as a gift to mortals,marking the birth of human Culture & the beginning of Civilization with a rebellion against the Unjust Power in order to overthrow the system ...
His name means "Forethinker,a really meaningful Theophoric name.He became a figure who represented human striving and the quest for scientific knowledge.

The moist breath of the western wind wafted her
over the waves of the loud-moaning sea in soft foam.” ~Homer
Hesiod's Theogony
Hesiod’s description says that at first the waves gently
carried Her toward Cythera but Zephyrus, the western wind, ultimately guided the waves to the shores of Paphos,Cyprus.
This beautiful location came to be designated as
the birthplace of Aphrodite and Cyprus is called the Island of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, Beauty ...

The Birth of Aphrodite
In the beginning, Chaos wrapped the worlds
where Time and Space rolled without limit,
until the Earth indulged her sons, the Titans,
and gave them suck at her abundant breasts.
They pitched; the Styx covered the waves.
And never, after, in the dark lightning air,
did Spring let out the splendor of the sun,
nor generous Summer ripen the pale corn.
Sullen, and ignorant of all lark or laughter,
the Immortals assemble on snowy Olympus.
But out of heaven come the seminal drops,
and the Ocean slips open, and naked, radiant,
now, and rising out of the foam’s embrace
and the Sky’s blood, she blossoms: Aphrodite.
The Birth of Aphrodite

In Greek mythology, Pontus was a Titan, son of Gaea and brother of Uranus. Hesiod recounts that Gaea begat Pontus by herself, without mating.
Daplidice was a Danaid, daughter of Danaus. Fifty sisters who killed their husbands (all but one) on their wedding night and were therefore punished to carry water in vessels until a bottomless cask was filled, a metaphor for endless toil.
Del griego pontos, pontios, mar. Pontus en latín.
En la mitología griega, Ponto era un titán, hijo de Gea y hermano de Urano. Hesíodo cuenta que Gea engendró a Ponto por sí misma, sin emparejarse.
Daplidice era una danaide, hija de Danaus. Cincuenta hermanas que mataron a sus maridos (todas menos una) en la noche de bodas y por ello castigadas a transportar agua en recipientes hasta llenar un tonel sin fondo, siendo metáfora del trabajo sin fin.
I was in Messina, Sicily, for a convention - Messina, the city of the Strait. The city of the two seas, the Tyrrhenian and the Ionian - not two whichever seas, but the very stuff of myths and epics. Scylla and Charybdis haunted these narrow, deep, perilous waters.
As you would expect, I had tried to leave my camera at home (it was work, after all...), but it nevertheless jumped into my backpack, along with my Samyang wide angle lens and my tripod. Unfortunately neither of them told the remote shutter, so it stayed safe and cozy within my gear bag at home. Oh my gosh! What was the use of having a tripod while lacking a remote shutter? I just hoped that enabling the Delay exposure Mode would be sufficient to compensate for my awkward finger actually pressing the shutter release button.
So I began my Sicilian days with just as many sunrise sessions. Wow.
The weather was consistently unstable - an ever changing sky enlivened by an endless turmoil of clouds (sometimes benign, sometimes threatening and ominous), sudden showers followed by warm sun, and then again. There was at first a peculiar ambiance - a stormy mood, I would say - an epic character reminiscent of remote ages, when the gods and Cyclops trod these lands and monsters haunted these waters. I could understand the sense of awe the ancient dwellers of these places felt while contemplating such views. I could feel the presence of the gods of old just before me. Just all around me.
My second Sicilian sunrise was kind of a bipolar one: gentle and serene, bathed in a soft light when looking Southeastwards, additionally sporting the elegant, graceful shape of the Amerigo Vespucci, the renowned training ship of the Italian Navy, in the distance. Photos of the nice side of that sunrise will come in due time.
However as soon as I turned my gaze directly Eastwards... Well, the rising day was dark and ominous, and the heavy clouds looming over the strait and the rugged coastline of Calabria were pierced by a fiery glow - the glaring eye of an angry Cyclops. The Cyclopes (= Circle-eyed) were giant one-eyed creatures from Greek mythology, especially associated with Sicily and the nearby Aeolian Islands.
According to Hesiod's Theogony the three primeval cyclopes were the second brood of Uranus and Gaia - after the Titans and before the monstrous Hecatoncheires (= Hundred-Handers, also called the Centimanes). Troublemakers all the way from such parents, apparently! ;-) Anyway, eventually the Titan Cronus castrated his own father Uranus - a brilliant idea, considering the deteriorating quality of his offspring - and overcame him as the ruler of the cosmos, officially solving the issue - for a while, at least, before being overthrown himself by the Olympian gods.
There are many different traditions and myths about the Cyclopes, none of them flattering in the least: wild, solitaries, lawless, gross, rough, irascible, proud, violent, and ignorant of navigation, agriculture, and many other arts the gods had gifted the humans with. Homer's Odyssey features Polyphemus as the mightiest of the Cyclopes, and I expect that he is the best known individual among his most infamous progeny.
So, I was standing in awe before that incredible sunrise, as the glaring eye of the fierce Cyclops was inspecting the lands that were his in ages past, claiming them again. All I could do in such a situation was to make myself small and smaller and, hopefully, pass unnoticed while capturing the wild, powerful beauty of the Sunrise of the Cyclops' Eye.

I have processed this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 EV] by luminosity masks with the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal" exposure shot).
Along the journey - post-processing always is a journey of discovery to me - I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic to give a slight tonal boost to several parts of the scene. As usual, I gave the finishing touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

Saal des Firmaments ...
Über dem Eingangsportal in der Mitte des Säulengangs befindet sich eine Gedenktafel, die
daran erinnert, dass die Familie Chiericati hier 1782 Papst Pius VI. als Gast beherbergte.
Von der Vorhalle aus gelangt man links zu dem im 16. Jahrhundert errichteten südlichen
Flügel, in dessen Sälen noch die Dekorationen aus den Jahre 1557-58 erhalten sind, die sich eindeutig an den Zyklen inspirieren, mit denen der von Giulio Romano errichtete
Palazzo Tè in Mantua ausgeschmückt ist.
Die weiß-goldenen Stuckarbeiten an den Gewölben aller Säle dieses Flügels sind das Werk von Bartolomeo Ridolfi.
Der erste rechteckige größere Saal wird Saal des Firmaments genannt und ist mit Fresken von Domenico Brusasorzi ausgeschmückt.
Der zentrale Ausschnitt enthält das Bild "Phaethon lenkt den Wagen der Sonne und Diana den des Mondes", das von
einer komplexen polygonalen Gliederung umgeben ist, die durch Eliodoro Forbicinis Grotesken umrahmt wird:
Die größeren mehrfarbigen Felder enthalten Bilder der im 16. Jahrhundert bekannten Konstellationen, die von Stichen Dürers abgeleitet wurden.
Die kleineren monochromatisch gestalteten Ausschnitte enthalten klassische, an antiken Münzen inspirierte Figuren.
Man beachte die freizügigen Darstellungen des 16. Jahrhunderts, die sich an der Antike orientieren ... ich werde noch ein Detail bringen, damit Phaeton und Diana besser erkannt werden können ...
Phaethon (Mythologie)
Phaeton ist auch als Namenspatron in Wissenschaft und Technik bedeutsam.
Phaetons Sturz – römischer Sarkophag (1. Jh. n. Chr.)
Phaethon, auch Phaeton oder Phaëthon (altgriechisch Φαέθων Phaéthōn, deutsch ‚der Strahlende‘, von φαίνειν phaínein, deutsch ‚scheinen‘), ist in der griechischen Mythologie bei Hesiod der Sohn des Kephalos und der Göttin Eos, der Schwester des Sonnengottes Helios. Seit Euripides (5. Jahrhundert v. Chr.) ist Phaethon der Sohn des Helios und der Klymene oder der Rhode, also ein Neffe der Eos.
Phaethon, der Sohn des Helios, wird zum Beispiel in Platons Timaios erwähnt. Die bekanntesten Varianten des Mythos stammen von Hesiod und von Ovid, der in seinen Metamorphosen 1,747–2,400[3] die ausführlichste und bis heute kanonische Lesart der Erzählung entwickelt hat.
Darstellung des Ovid
Als Phaethon heranwächst, spricht ihm Epaphos, der Sohn der Io und des Jupiter, die göttliche Abstammung von Sol ab. Die Mutter Klymene versichert Phaethon, dass er der Sohn des Sonnengottes sei, und rät, den Vater im Sonnenpalast aufzusuchen und ein Zeugnis seiner Vaterschaft einzufordern. Sol, der Sonnengott, der ihn im Palast aufnimmt und als Sohn anerkennt, verpflichtet sich durch einen Eid, dem Sohn ein Geschenk seiner Wahl zu gewähren.
Phaethon erbittet sich nun, für einen Tag den Sonnenwagen lenken zu dürfen. Sol versucht, seinen Sohn von diesem Plan abzubringen – jedoch vergeblich. Phaethon besteigt, als die Nacht zu Ende geht, den kostbaren und reich verzierten Sonnenwagen des Vaters. Das Viergespann rast los und gerät bald außer Kontrolle. Phaethon verlässt die tägliche Fahrstrecke zwischen Himmel und Erde und löst eine Katastrophe universalen Ausmaßes aus.
Ovid berichtet:
„Überall dort, wo die Erde am höchsten ist, wird sie vom Feuer ergriffen, bekommt Spalten und Risse und dörrt aus, weil ihr die Säfte entzogen sind. Das Gras wird grau, samt seinen Blättern brennt der Baum, und das trockene Saatfeld liefert seinem eigenen Untergang Nahrung […] Große Städte gehen mit ihren Mauern unter, und der Brand legt ganze Länder mit ihren Völkern in Asche.“
Ätiologisch erklärt Ovid die dunkle Hautfarbe der „Athiopier“ damit, dass der Sonnenwagen dicht über sie hingerast sei, wodurch ihnen „das Blut nach oben gestiegen“ und sie dadurch schwarz geworden seien. Auch sei so die Wüste in Libyen entstanden, die Sahara.
Erst Jupiter, von der „alma Tellus“ (so viel wie Mutter Erde) um Hilfe gerufen, bereitet der drohenden Weltvernichtung ein Ende und schleudert einen Blitz. Der Wagen wird zertrümmert und der Wagenlenker Phaethon stürzt in die Tiefe, wo er tot im Fluss Eridanus landet.
Seine Schwestern, die Heliaden, weinen um ihn und werden am Ufer in Pappeln verwandelt, von denen die Tränen in Form des als Bernstein bekannten Pflanzenharzes herabtropfen. Auch der ligurische König Cycnus, ein Verwandter Phaethons und sein Geliebter, eilt untröstlich herbei. Er wird von Apoll aus Mitleid in einen Schwan (lateinisch cycnus und cygnus) verwandelt.
Die Inschrift auf dem Grabstein lautet nach Ovid:
„Hier ruht Phaethon, der Lenker des väterlichen Wagens; zwar konnte er ihn nicht meistern, starb aber, nachdem er Großes gewagt hatte.“
Auffällig ist nach Siegmar Döpp, dass Ovid den Katasterismos, die Verwandlung Phaethons in einen Stern, die in anderen antiken Texten wie den Dionysiaka des Nonnos von Panopolis (5. Jahrhundert) erzählt wird, weglässt. Dies hat seines Erachtens seinen Grund in der Komposition des Werkes:
Die Entstehung der Welt aus dem Chaos und ihre Zerstörung in der deukalionischen Flut erzählt Ovid im ersten Buch des Metamorphosen als Verwandlungen. Der Phaethon-Mythos, der am Ende des ersten und im ersten Drittel des zweiten Buches erzählt wird, stellt nach Döpps Meinung darauf bezogen ebenfalls eine Metamorphose dar:
nicht die des Namensgebers, sondern die Rückverwandlung der ganzen Welt im Feuer, die durch göttliches Eingreifen noch einmal verhindert worden sei.
Man sieht, wie VW nach der "Schlampe" (Sharan) seine Modellnamen mit "Expertise" ausgesucht hat ... ;-) ...

Tonights project, a red barn I passed the other day while returning from an appt out of town. This time of year there is a weed or ground cover that's a bright yellow that grows in lots of pastures I've seen which was a perfect contrast to the richness of this red barn. In another life, I wanted to redo an old barn into a house. I would definitely wheedle my way into this one! Textures a combination by Kerstin Frank and PicMonkey.

“Prometheus” statue in Götheborg, by Vassil Simittchiev
Why this Flabby,Aged body with the Triangular Pyramid head ?
Artists have the liberty to express their opposition to all the powerholders and get their messages across through artworks that create reaction for the degradation of the human condition over time,stir emotions and cry out for the future of humanity and for the necessary change ...
Here's V.Simittchiev's answer to GM's (query editor) Isolde Berner some years ago :
"The work can symbolize that we are no longer Human.It is today's Prometheus and there is no triangle without a pyramid of concrete he has over his head.Titan Prometheus is not young and beautiful anymore,it's an aged body - the human world has aged.The pyramid itself is also a human symbol,depending on how to use it.The world of today is quite still,pyramidal can be said,but it feels hard and no longer really Human in the same way as the world Prometheus saved. But there's a hope,that's why he's holding a torch in his hand.To explain a work in detail, is not easy even for the Artist.The myth of Prometheus has been a recurring motif in art, literature and music, and is found in works by Shelley , Goethe , Michelangelo , Beethoven & Swedes V.Rydberg,Strindberg & Hjalmar Gullberg."
Triangles in the art world can symbolize psychic or spiritual things as opposed to squares or cubes that symbolize mundane things.The pyramid is also a favourite symbol of the Illumnists.Prometheus is illuminated,he enlightens the world ...
We may encounter art we don't like,the conflation of art with its purposes is always a difficult issue to examine ...
Generations of writers,philosophers & political revolutionaries have been inspired by Titan Prometheus' story of rebellion.
In contemporary times,Prometheus has become a symbol for progress in Science and Technology.
Darwin considered fire as the greatest discovery made by humanity.
Titans in the hands of artists & the story of the canal-side bronze & concrete sculpture,Prometheus,by Vassil Simittchiev - 1995 - dimensions 215 x 90 x 92 cm -
Taken from the myth of Pandora's creation in Hesiod"s Works and Days. The box given to Pandora contained all the evils of the world. Pandora's curiosity leads her to open the box causing all the evils to escape... leaving only "Hope" inside once she closed it again.

Invocation To The Muses ...
Κλειώ, Ευτέρπη, Θάλεια, Μελπομένη, Τερψιχόρη, Ερατώ, Πολυμνία, Ουρανία, Καλλιόπη ...
Erato,Euterpe,Kalliope, Kleio,Melpomene, Ourania,Polymnia, Terpsichore,Thaleia ...
Muses help me to be a careful observer,to muse with the greatest affection on everything I see ...
Open as interstellar space
To the exploring and excited mind.
That mind and body are conjoined near,
And thousand dainty shapes inhabit there,
And unimagin'd forms by common mind ...
Beauty is Truth ... Isn't it ?
The Arts refine, purify , adorn, embellish life under the patronage of Muses.
Oh, come ! Renew in us the Ancient Wonder,the grace of Life, its courage, and its Joy ! Weave us those garlands nothing can destroy ! Come with your Radiant Eyes ...
Ideals on pedestals ? Where Have All the Muses Gone? I ask the same question Edmund Spenser , I can see their tears as they sit beside the Silver Springs of Helicon ...
Succeeding Ages have no Light;
Of things forepast, nor Monuments of Time;
And all that in this World is worthy Hight ; And in the Bosom of all Bliss did sit ... I shalln't die in darkness;
plenty the precious store of the celestial riches ...
Where be the sweet Delights of Learning Treasure ?
Ye gentle Spirits breathing from above,
through the Rust of Time ;
And Golden Trumpet of Eternity,
That lowly Thoughts lift up to Heaven's height,
And mortal Men have Power to deify through Knowledge ;
we behold the World's Creation,
And judge of Nature's cunning Operation,
How things she formed of a formless Mass;
By Knowledge we do learn our selves to know,
And what to Man, and what to God we owe ...
From hence, we mount aloft into the Sky,
And look into the crystal Firmament;
There we behold the Heaven's great Hierarchy,
The Stars pure Light, the Spheres swift Movement,
The Spirits and Intelligences fair ;
And there, with humble Mind and high Insight,
Th' Eternal Maker's Majesty we view ,
Such Happiness have they, that do embrace
The Precepts of our heavenly Discipline ;
The School of Arts Divine to make Men heavenly-wise, through humbled Will.
The Land of The Muses,The Tears of the Muses
With Beauty kindled, and with pleasure fed ...
Hey all is corrupted through the Rust of Time ; But
Beauty and Love still exist , they are not just Archaic Epigrams ...
Ευτέρπη ....
O lovely and not sad ,
Euterpe, be thou in this Hall tonight !
Bid us remember all we ever had
Of sweet and gay delight—
We who are free,
But cannot quite be glad,
Thinking of huge, abrupt disaster brought
Upon so many of our kind...
O Muses, O immortal Nine !
Thoughts In the manner of Spenser ...

Hesiod's "Theogony"
From the Heliconian Muses let us begin to sing, who hold the great and holy mount of Helicon, and dance on soft feet about the deep-blue spring and the altar of the almighty son of Cronos, and, when they have washed their tender bodies in Permessus or in the Horse's Spring or Olmeius, make their fair, lovely dances upon highest Helicon and move with vigorous feet. Thence they arise and go abroad by night, veiled in thick mist, and utter their song with lovely voice, praising Zeus the aegis-holder and queenly Hera of Argos who walks on golden sandals and the daughter of Zeus the aegis-holder bright-eyed Athene, and Phoebus Apollo, and Artemis who delights in arrows, and Poseidon the earth-holder who shakes the earth, and reverend Themis and quick-glancing Aphrodite, and Hebe with the crown of gold, and fair Dione, Leto, Iapetus, and Cronos the crafty counsellor, Eos and great Helius and bright Selene, Earth too, and great Oceanus, and dark Night, and the holy race of all the other deathless ones that are for ever. And one day they taught Hesiod glorious song while he was shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon, and this word first the goddesses said to me--the Muses of Olympus, daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis ...
"Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance." Edgar Degas
The ancient Greeks were naked or rode on horseback, nor, even approximately, looked like an idealized images. Judging by the average Greek osteoarheološkom material was a stocky, robust, relatively short legs.
How, then, the Greek art defines a man? Aristophanes legendary winners of the marathon describes: smooth chest, bright skin, big shoulders, a short tongue, a big butt and a small penis (Clouds, 1011-13). The man was naked, a woman, until the beginning of Hellenism Praksitela and mostly dressed. Only with a few exceptions, all the Greek artists, and all the ancient authors who wrote about nijma men. Greek world, as we know it today, is a male world, and the state, the polis, the patriarchal concept of involving only adult congenital men. Publicly displayed works of art, especially sculpture and architecture are much more addressing the man, but a woman. All of this points to one, relationship between the audience and watched in Greek art becomes the relationship between Erastus and eromena, beloved and lover, in which the sculpture (or pictures) eromen, junior partner in a homosexual relationship, which is passive, perhaps, accentuated reduced penis . Does this mean that Partenonski frieze procession desirable homosexual partners? Worth it just for the tens of thousands of kouros, a sculpture of naked boys who are like tombstones stood all over the Greek world? It is obvious that we can not Greek construction of corporeality and sexuality measure today's standards, but the affinity that our culture is shown to the classics (Twentieth Century, however, follows the trend of abandonment of traditional forms) are not missed. Later, we see that there, although there is a huge gap of misunderstanding, many points of contact between modern and Greek civil taste.
When we talk about the relationship of the human body, with all their needs, and cultural norms, are talking also about how integration in society. The basic form of the Greek society is distinct homosocijalnost, and for the Greek polis, we can rightly say that the men's club, while all other social groups condemned the segregation (women, foreigners), or completely off (the slaves). Unlike the Eastern civilizations, where distant and invisible to authorities govern the lives of its subjects, the polis, which is completely independent and self-sufficient entity, a man (man) becomes visible, palpable agent in the creation of the state. However, this task is not easy. Greek soldier, farmer or tradesman, a voter, a full-fledged citizen, all in one. Tensions emerged that many contradictory roles that the Greeks had to exercise can be felt in the description of the Athenian demos from around 400 BC AD: capricious, choleric, unjust, inconstant, but also accommodating, compassionate, sympathetic, boastful, conceited, humble, gentle and wild, all in one. (Gas NH 35th 69) Not surprisingly, therefore, that neither Plato nor Aristotle placed him in a democracy are not desirable and equitable social order.
The woman was in the polis became the antithesis of a positive, active, male principle. At the Parthenon on the two places could see the struggle of the Greeks against the dangerous female troupe, the Amazons (the metopes and the Athena's shield), while in the temple, on the podium Athens Partenos there view of creating the first woman, Pandora, which, as we have learned from Hesiod, gods created as an evil for men. The final showdown with the role and position of women in Athenian society has been registered on the mythological level, the story about the trial of Orestes, murderer of the mother. The lawsuit was Apollos' argument prevailed, thanks to Athena's casting vote, that the woman just groove in which a man throws seed, and that she does not play a role in inheritance and does not determine the future no man. Orestes is, therefore, solely responsible father as a single parent. However, when you mention all the art and mythology of all, we know that these are fields in which most reflects the state ideology. The role of women in Greek society was hidden, but very important, as today in some areas of the Mediterranean. But what we are currently most interested in is to be very long portrayed women as revised (incomplete) man, and that odjevenost its natural state. It seems that the show (and show), femininity was particularly limited, and that is seen as subversive in a strictly male polis.
The fundamental tension that permeates the polis and who is much involved in the construction of Greek mythology, literature and culture in general, the conflict of the individual and authority, and desire and the law. Characteristically, the civil society of equal to the materialism and competitiveness rises ambitious and egotistical individual who lust for the material is transformed into the desire for all the pleasures available to him. Greeks see such a symposium, spree that has become a central ritual of civic life, where the drinking and the competition in elegance and wisdom of engaging in all possible sexual pleasures. Quite different is the Greek who walks under the heavy weapons as part of a faceless phalanx. Pressed and pushed the bodies completely lost personality, and the only thing left is his awareness of obedience to the strict requirements of the battleship row, which only he can ensure survival. His body, which plays a central role in his worldview, it is now part of a large body of the polis, and above it no longer has any power. When Plato says: What in fact what most people call it peace (...) is just empty words, and things are by nature all of the state (polis) in nenaviještenom constant war with all countries. (Laws 626-a), does this mean that peace is an unnatural, perhaps even more dangerous state of war? It is obvious that the constant uncertainty of war has a strong role in the cohesion policy. Uniformed and hardly moving phalanx carries a clear message to the necessity of unity and submission to the community.

En la mitología griega, Anfítrite era una antigua diosa del mar tranquilo, que se convertiría en consorte de Poseidón.
Según la Teogonía de Hesíodo, era hija de Nereo y Doris (por tanto, una nereida), o de Océano y Tetis (por tanto, una oceánide) según Apolodoro, quien sin embargo la menciona entre las nereidas además de entre las oceánides. No es totalmente personificada en las épicas homéricas: «contra las cuales rugen las inmensas olas de la ojizarca Anfitrite»; comparte el epíteto homérico Halosidne con Tetis. Fuente Wikipedia
