Bifröst (,schwankende Himmelsstraße‘), oder Asbru (,Asenbrücke‘) ist in der nordischen Mythologie die dreistrahlige Regenbogenbrücke zwischen Midgard (Erdenwelt) und Asgard (Himmelsreich der Asen).
Die Asenbrücke ist laut der Grímnismál (Strophe 44) die erste aller Brücken und wird vom Asen-Gott Heimdall bewacht. Die Asen benutzen sie, um von Asgard nach Midgard sowie zu ihren täglichen Treffen am Urdbrunnen zu gelangen.
In Norse mythology, Bifröst, also called Bilröst, is a burning rainbow bridge that reaches between Midgard (Earth) and Asgard, the realm of the gods.
According to the Prose Edda, the bridge ends in heaven at Himinbjörg, the residence of the god Heimdall, who guards it from the jötnar.

sin da bambino sono sempre stato affascinato dalla mitologia greca, tanto che il mio eroe preferito era ed è Ulisse (d'altronde la mia passione per il mare non poteva che condurmi da lui), ma anche le imprese di Achille mi affascinavano, pertanto uno dei motivi della mia vacanza a Corfù è stato il desiderio di ritornare ad ammirare l'Achilleion Palace che la principessa Sissi (Elisabetta d'Austria) aveva fatto costruire nell'isola greca in onore dell'eroe mitologico
since childhood I have always been fascinated by Greek mythology, so much that my favorite hero was and is Ulysses (on the other hand my passion for the sea could only lead me to him), but also Achilles fascinated me, so one of the reasons for my vacation in Corfu was the desire to return to admire the Achilleion Palace that Princess Sissi (Elizabeth of Austria) had built in the Greek island in honor of this mythological hero

The South Fountain of Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire. This is another 18th century Italian marble sculpture that was shipped to Britain in order to embellish the Manor that was built in the 1880s. Shown is Pluto (Hades), surrounded by his horses and tritons, abducting Proserpina, a daughter of Jupiter and Ceres, and pulling her down into the Underworld. The story ended in a compromise: Jupiter would have his daughter back for half of the year, Pluto for the other half, and thus summer and winter were created. Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 at approx. F16.
This is the very first "photo story" I make. It's about Coma Berenices, the etiological myth about the born of the constellation. It tells the story of Berenice, who gave the most beautiful part of herself, her hair, to gods to save her husband from death: her hair were taken up to the skies, where they could be admire by everyone forever.
Or Pluto, if you prefer.
God of Wealth, Death, Darkness, the Underworld and Agriculture, I think? I dunno.

BIFRÖST by Pitaya.
In the Norse Mythology, the Bifröst is the light bridge between the realm of the living and the kingdom of gods.

In Greek mythology, Icarus (the Latin spelling, conventionally adopted in English; Greek: Ἴκαρος, Íkaros, Etruscan: Vikare) is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus. The main story told about Icarus is his attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings constructed by his father. Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Before they took off from the island, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea. Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared through the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. He fell to his death.

The northern lights are elementary particle physics, superstition, mythology and folklore come to life. Throughout the ages they have filled people with wonder and fear. They have challenged and inspired scientists and artists. I can certainly add photographers! To see the aurora was an unforgettable experience. Auroras are caused by vast super-heated supersonic collections of smashed atoms, known as solar wind, that enter the earth’s upper atmosphere where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms. These collisions usually take place between 60 & 300 km above ground, causing the oxygen and nitrogen atoms to become electrically excited and to emit light. The result is a dazzling dance of green, blue, white and red light.
This is my second attempt for the #FlickrFriday theme...drum roll please--Chimera. I have no idea where I'd photograph:
("Chimera)
(in Greek mythology) a fire-breathing female monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail.
a thing that is hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve.
"the economic sovereignty you claim to defend is a chimera"
synonyms:
illusion · fantasy · delusion · dream · fancy · figment of the imagination · will-o'-the-wisp · phantom · mirage · ignis fatuus
biology
an organism containing a mixture of genetically different tissues, formed by processes such as fusion of early embryos, grafting, or mutation.
"the sheeplike goat chimera"
a cartilaginous marine fish with a long tail, an erect spine before the first dorsal fin, and typically a forward projection from the snout."
Some photographers have posted images of chimera figurines, or paintings, etc. I have no such items.
The original image I posted was a rather clumsy attempt at putting Matteo's face on a pelican . I really wasn't happy with it, don't know why I bothered posting it.
I decided to try again, and ended up with this image, putting Matteo's face on a pelican that was a better fit for this.
Don't know if this will make it into the group. I've deleted the earlier attempt, so, we'll see! It's not great, but it's much better than my original posting!
NOTE: This has not been accepted by the group #FlickrFriday because it doesn't comply with the rules. Even though I created it after the theme was announced, the original photo was taken before the theme selection so it isn't qualified.
I was concerned that might be the case. Now I'll have to see if I can get out before Thursday and find a chimera. Because they're in abundance...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A horse with wings is referred to as Pegasus, from the name of the winged horse of Greek mythology which sprang from the blood of Medusa when Perseus cut off her head.
In Greek mythology, the autumn equinox is linked to Ade, Demetra and Persephone. In antiquity, myths and legends were used to find an explanation for the passing of the seasons, which marked with great importance the alternation of work in fields, crops and rest.
These are Apollo and Dafne and so do not really get to the theme
But this work done a while ago makes me think of the Autumn
Apollo and Daphne is a life-sized Baroque marble sculpture by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, executed between 1622 and 1625. Housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, the work depicts the climax of the story of Daphne and Phoebus in Ovid's Metamorphoses.....

From the back of our hotel I made my way along a rough track to the Iguaçu River upstream from those Magnificent Waterfalls. Wonderful walk with more Butterflies and Insects of various sorts and Wildflowers than I've ever seen before during such a relatively short hike.
Lots of delightful crimson Malvaviscus arboreus, Ladies Teardrop - perhaps appropriate for some on this Good Friday. Butterflies abounded and Teardrop was particularly partial to Thoas Swallowtail, Heraclides thoas. The air around the shrubbish trees was full of them.
It's hard to imagine that even a Butterfly with a very long tongue can reach the nectaries of Teardrop from the Flower's natural opening from which project Stamens and Pistil - clearly to be seen in this photo. Thoas generally makes for the flower's base which houses its nectaries. But how can it access their sweetness without teeth to tear through the green and red covering?
Well, Nature is rather wonderful. Other insects gnaw through that covering and leave a little hole, and it's through that hole that Thoas can easily insert its tongue to suck up Nectar.
Which insects have done this selfservice and provided a help to our Flutterers as well I don't know. They could be Bees; elsewhere I've seen Bumblebees gnaw their way to those nectaries; or perhaps Carpenter Bees, or even the Little Black Bee in the inset which I haven't identified. She and her companions were as it were holding court right at the base of quite a number of those Ladies Teardrops. All to serve the King, for Thoas was a Greek one in mythology.
In Eastern mythology, the dragon is revered as a symbol of power, wisdom, and good fortune.

In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter from the territory of Thespiae. He was renowned for his beauty and suffered from pride in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, saw this exceptional pride and judged Narcissus as deserving punishment. She lured him to a pool in which he saw his own reflection. He immediately fell in love, never realizing that it was his own image. Unable to leave the beauty of his own reflection, he died there. The Narcissus plant sprang up in that spot.

In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known for his beauty.
He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him.
Nemesis noticed this behaviour and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in love with it, not realising it was merely an image.
Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus lost his will to live.
He stared at his reflection until he died.
Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance or public perception.
These ones here, with their salmon trumpet, is a fragrant variety.
I (maybe wrongly) make a distinction, based on that fact, between Daffodils and Narcissus...
THANK you for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love, M, (*_*)

Project 365, #024 - 23rd March 2012
For today’s post and daily challenge I wanted to photograph an artifact to illustrate the Greek mythology of Pandora’s Box.
We all know the story I think - Pandora was given a beautiful box which she was not to open under any circumstance. Impelled by her curiosity given to her by the Gods, Pandora opened it, and all evil contained therein escaped and spread over the earth.
My initial idea was to use something small like a trinket box but I couldn’t find anything suitable around town or in the house. I also wanted to show the ‘evil’ in the form of light escaping from the box but found it difficult with the limited lighting available to me.
I had to make do with my wife’s vanity case, which you see in the picture. I set up a dark room and illuminated the box for a few seconds with a light source. Although not what I set out to achieve, I think it’s OK and will have to do.
Interestingly, Pandora’s ‘Box’ was not a box after all, but a large ceramic jar known as a pithos and most were as tall or taller than a human!

Theseus, son of King of Aegeus of Athens, volunteered to end the tribute by taking his place among the youths and killing the Minotaur into the labyrinth in the island of Crete. With the help of King Minos' daughter, Ariadne, Theseus succeeded in slaying the monster and fled with Ariadne back toward Athens, leaving Ariadne behind on the island of Naxos.
Theseus was supposed to change the black sails of the ship to white so that King Aegeus would know his son lived and had conquered the Minotaur. Theseus forgot, however, and his father, seeing the ship with the black sails, hurled himself off a cliff into the sea in grief and was drowned (the sea became known as the Aegean, after him).

"Idun, in Norse mythology, the goddess of spring or rejuvenation and the wife of Bragi, the god of poetry. She was the keeper of the magic apples of immortality, which the gods must eat to preserve their youth. When, through the cunning of Loki, the trickster god, she and her apples were seized by the giant Thiassi and taken to the realm of the giants, the gods quickly began to grow old. They then forced Loki to rescue Idun, which he did by taking the form of a falcon, changing Idun into a nut (in some sources, a sparrow), and flying off with her in his claws." - Amy Tikkanen for Britannica.
