Took this shot in the bustling heart of the town, where the grand Town Hall stands with its classical columns and British flag waving at the top. It's a focal point where people gather, contributing to the lively atmosphere. The historic building's façade, with its decorative windows and stonework, echoes a time when such halls were the cornerstone of community life.
First pullip. Expect lots of Alice pictures! She quickly became one if my favorite dolls, and one of my favorite dolls to photograph. I got her from PullipStyle.com with a dent box, as I didn't care for the box, only Alice and her accessories, and I was planning to take her out of packaging from the start so I saved a couple of dollars there(even though it took me 5 minutes to find such dent that I hardly think of it as one. Such a non-problem being taken into consideration by the retailer really shows the high quality of service from PullipStyle).
Over-all review of Alice: She's mine hands off! Kidding aside lovely, and looks a lot like the drawings of Alice in Through The Looking-Glass, with a bit of pimped up attributes here and there making her a one of a kind variation. The wig has a good scent to it, so it won't get a foul odor on the clothing and accessories. It has no bald spots and you can't see the seams of the wig unless you push the hair over. It is a nice thin(dimensions matter!), polyester I believe, hair, with quite minute frizzing. Almost none, but making the hair look more natural. Her curls are not stiff, and incredibly soft. The company(Groove) used a very very high quality spray, that can't be noticed practically at all when touching the hair, to help keep the curls in their designated design. The curls are easily fixed with only moist fingers. Great doll, but very delicate. I've never been more careful with a doll than Alice.

The 45EPIC landscapes and goddesses are straight out of Homer's Iliad & Odyssey!
I'm currently updating a translation with the Greek names for the gods and goddesses--will publish soon! :)
"RAGE--Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. " --Homer's Iliad capturing the rage of the 45EPIC landscapes and seascapes! :)

The public offices at Alexandra in Downey Street are architecturally significant as an uncommon example of public works architecture, which incorporates a post office, state offices and courthouse into a single, substantial compound. The complex, built in 1877, is unusually large for both the period and the size of the town which it serves. The building has a symmetrical facade of hip-roofed wings united by a wide, barrel vaulted central entry, typical elements of the Victorian Free Classical style and forms a strong element in the streetscape.
Built in 1877, this rendered complex houses the courthouse, post office and state offices in a symmetrical arrangement of hip-roofed wings, united by a wide barrel vaulted central entry. It is an unusual Victorian Free Classical style design for the Public Works Department at this time and is believed to have been designed by G. W. Watson, an architect and engineer. Generally, the courthouse and post office is an eleven roomed single storey building constructed from sandstone footings, brick walls rendered externally and plastered internally, timber floors and roof structure, slate roof with timber and corrugated iron verandah and a colonnade of stone and cast iron columns along the front of the building. Floors exposed to the weather, such as original arcades and lobbies, are of bluestone flagging on rock and sand fill. The remainder are 150 millimetre wide tongue and groove pine floor boards, which were standard for the time. The building’s brickwork is rendered and plastered, which was normal practice at the time and appears to have been carried out for stylistic reasons, but it also has the advantage of improving the weather tightness of poor quality bricks which were often used. It is not known where the bricks came from. The brickwork is standard for the time, being 355 millimetres thick for external and major walls and 230 millimetres and 115 millimetres thick for internal walls. Sandstone footings were almost certainly of local origin and are 710 millimetres thick at the base and between 1,830 millimetres and 1,065 millimetres high due to the slope of the land. Generally the stonework is split with tooled external corners and is coursed in the normal manner for the time. Fireplaces are numerous, generally one per room with bluestone hearths. The window and door lintels appear to be steel with stone sills and thresholds. The frames of the buildings are timber. The windows are two panes per sash double hung timber windows, and the doors are generally framed four panel type with external doors having fanlights. Skirtings, architraves, counters, cupboards, screens and partitions are all timber, probably pine. Mouldings are typical of the period. All those remaining are in fair condition. The slate roof was probably ballast on ships from England. When built the post office was painted internally together with the external joinery, cast iron columns and verandah roofs. The external walls were not painted until much later.
Alexandra is a town in Victoria, Australia. It is located at the junction of the Goulburn Valley Highway (B340) and Maroondah Highway (B360), 26 kilometres west of Eildon. The town was settled in the late 1860s, with a Post Office opening on 15 March 1867 (known until 24 April 1867) as Redgate. The town was originally known as Redgate, or Red Gate Diggings. The current name either derives from Alexandra of Denmark (Queen’s Consort to King Edward VII of England) when given a stature of her to the shire; or from three men named Alexander (Alesander, McGregor, Alexander Don, and Alexander Luckie) who discovered gold in the area in 1866. Charles Jones born Herefordshire also discovered Gold on the Luckie Mine in 1866. He bought a Hotel with John Henry Osborne and was the proprietor of the New York and London Hotel Grant Street Alexandra. The railway to Alexandra arrived in the town via Yea from Tallarook in 1909, and closed on November 18, 1978. The Rubicon Tramway connected Alexandra with the village of Rubicon, at the junction of the Rubicon and Royston Rivers. Today many tourists pass through Alexandra on their way to the Mount Buller ski resort from Melbourne. The town contains the Timber Tramway and Museum (located at the Alexandra Railway Station), and the National Trust classified post office and law courts. There is a local market on the second Saturday of each month from September to May, an annual art show at Easter, an agricultural show and rose festival in November, and the annual Truck, Rod and Ute Show in June.
Probably my favorite picture that I have ever taken of the castle. It was taken with my friend's camera while she had a monster lense on it that can zoom super far. I was standing about half way down Main Street at the time!

The Golden Ratio in Dr. Elliot McGucken's Fine Art Ballet Photography!
facebook.com/goldennumberratio
Dr. E's: Golden Number Ratio Principle--Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after, thusly providing symmetry over not only space but time, and exalting life’s foundational dynamic symmetry. Robust, ordered, symmetric growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in the arrangement of nature’s discrete elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which they and all their vital sustenance, as well as all the flowers and nature’s epic beauty, had been created—the golden ratio.

The 45EPIC landscapes and goddesses are straight out of Homer's Iliad & Odyssey!
I'm currently updating a translation with the Greek names for the gods and goddesses--will publish soon! :)
"RAGE--Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.

Ludwig van Beethoven: "Music/poetry/art should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman."
General Grant National Memorial, better known as Grant's Tomb, dramatically situated at the north end of Riverside Park at 122nd Street, is a mausoleum containing the bodies of Ulysses S. Grant(April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885), an American Civil War General and the 18th President of the United States, and his wife, Julia Dent Grant (1826–1902).
Ohio-born Hiram Ulysses Grant, trained at West Point, served in the Mexican-American War as a Lieutenant before achieiving fame as the leading Union general in the American Civil War. He first reached national prominence by by taking Forts Henry and Donelson in 1862--the first Union victories. The following year, his campaign ending in the surrender of Vicksburg secured control of the Mississippi and, with the victory at Gettysburg, turned the tide of the war. Named commanding general of the Federal armies in 1864, he accepted the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House in 1865.
Grant was elected president in 1868 and became the first to serve two full terms since Andrew Jackson. Leading Radical Reconstruction, he built a powerful patronage-based Republican party in the South, with the adroit use of the army. He took a hard line that reduced violence by groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
Unsuccessful in winning a third term in 1880, and bankrupted by bad investments, Grant found haven in New York before falling terminally ill with throat cancer. He was honored with a large funeral parade, stretching seven miles and including 60,000 marchers before his remains were were entombed in a temporary vault in the park. The granite and marble structure, the second largest mausoleum in the western hemisphere, was dedicated on Grant's 75th birthday, April 27, 1897. Julia Grant died on December 14, 1902 and her remains were interred beside her husband in a twin sarcophagus.
Architect John Duncan based his neoclassical design on one of the seven wonders of the world, the tomb of Mausolus at Halicarnassus. The monument is adorned by Doric columns on the lower level and a cupola above. It rises 150 feet above the ground and over 280 feet above the banks of the Hudson River. On the facade is the epitaph, "LET US HAVE PEACE"--a quote taken from Grant's acceptance of the Republican nomination. Allegorical figures probably representing Victory and Peace, sculpted by J. Massey Rhind, are depicted on either side of the sign.
The interior is largely made of Carrara and Lee marble. Inside a ground-level, circular crypt are two sarcophagi, made of red granite from Montello,
Wisconsin and weighing 8½ tons each, are placed inside a circular crypt at ground level. A path around the crypt contains busts of five of Grant's lieutenants (William Tecumseh Sherman, George Henry Thomas, Edward Otho Cresap Ord, Philip Henry Sheridan, and James Birdseye McPherson), which were added in 1938 as part of a WPA project.
On the four pendentives in the interior are relief sculptures, also by Rhind, with allegorical representation's of Grant's birth, Military Life, Civilian Life, and Death. In 1966, Allyn Cox's mosaic murals, portraying scenes from three of Grant's greatest campaign, were added to three lunettes inside Grant's Tomb. The Tomb also contains two reliquary rooms with murals by Dean Fausett featuring classical themes as well as maps depicting the theater of the Civil War. Locations of battles are indicated by crossed sabers. Grant's battles are indicated with a star. In the center of the reliquary room are bronze trophy cases containing replicas of Civil War battle flags.
In its early days, the Tomb's annual visitation often exceeded 500,000. In 1928, architect John Russell Pope proposed a number of developments at Grant's Tomb, but the Great Depression hinder such projects. During the 1950's, the Grant Monument Association transfered control over Grant's Tomb to the federal government. The National Park Service took over the site in 1959 and officially named the monument the General Grant National Memorial.
The 1960's and 1970's saw mismanagement by the NPS. The monument was scarred by vandalism. and many artifacts were either disposed of intentionally or otherwise lost. In 1972, the NPS spent government funds on the construction of abstract mosaic benches, which have been widely criticized for having little to do with the monument and for detracting from its architectural and aesthetic character. Into the 80's, the complex became a desolate hangout for drug dealers and homeless. In the late 90's funding was secured for a thorough renovation.
Grant's Tomb (interior and exterior) was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1975.

The statue known as "Der Löwenkämpfer", the Lion-fighter shows a lance-wielding man on horseback about to kill a lion. Albert Wolf completed this artwork after a draft by Christian Daniel Rauchand. In 1861, the statue was located in front of the Altes Museum, beside the Die Kämpfende Amazone Statue.
The statue recalls the myth of the heroic hunter: a myth beloved by the ancient Greeks and Romans and often represented by classical artists.

Archaeologist and painter Edward Dodwell (1767-1832), who came from a noble and rich Irish family, was born in Dublin (recitation: Eduard Doduel) and studied literature and archeology at Trinity College in Cambridge. Thanks to the economic comfort provided by his great fortune, he is completely away from the need to acquire a profession and gives himself to the researches about the Mediterranean civilizations.
In 1801, he traveled with Ionian islands (Corfu, Zante etc.) and the region of Troy together with Atkins and well-known traveler W. Gell. In 1805-06, he traveled to Central Greece with his traveling companion, Simone Pomardi. He then settled in Naples and Rome and marries a woman thirty years younger from him. He was an honorary member of many European cultural foundations. He died of sickness while exploring in the mountains of Italy. The large archaeological collection (coins, 115 copper items, 143 amphoras) he created was sold to the Munich Sculpture Museum after being housed in his home in Rome for a while.
Being a prolific writer and visual artist at the same time, Dodwell reveals his multi-faceted talent, consisting of a sense of curiosity, critical gaze and artistic sensitivity as an archaeologist in his works that are unique for his age. For the first time in his work, we witness the real discovery of a "place": While the phenomenon of walking becomes a form of discovering and recognizing (reading) the view, on the other hand, information based on monuments, history, contemporary people and documents all join together in this phenomenon.
The journey, which is described in these two volumes of publications and offers rich data in archeology and topography, constitutes a valuable treasure of information about the public and private lives of the Greeks before the rebellion (before 1821). Dodwell sets off from Venice by taking an intelligent and well-read Greek from Santorini, whom he had met in Italy in late April 1801, as an interpreter. He crosses the Adriatic sea and arrives in Corfu under Russian-Ottoman occupation with his travel companions within a month. Their journey continues towards Paksos islands, Parga, Lefkada (Santa Mavra). Dodwell writes about the nose of Lefkata, where ancient Greek poet Saffo, according to ancient ruins, products, villages and legend, fell into the sea because of his desperate love for Faon. From here go to Preveza and go to Nikopolis. He travels to the archeological site at the village, continues to Ithaka island and writes about the geography and economic situation there and about the search for ancient ruins. Finally, he came to Kefalonia and completed his first trip to Greece with William Gell.
In 1805, Dodwell, along with the artist Simone Pomardi, arrived in Zakinthos (Zante) from the city of Messina in Sicily, where he writes about the villages, population, products; he then goes to Mesolongi. Tepedelenli Ali Pasha writes about the persecution of local people, local products, the Akheloos river and the Echinades archipelago.
After the journey, he reached Patra and became the guest of the consul Nikolaos Stranis. Stranis's mansion had been the meeting place of many European guests for years. Dodwell's trip to Patra confirms his theoretical knowledge about them. Speaking of Contemporary Patra, he writes in an easy-to-understand manner both about the architectural order of the city ("The houses of the Greeks are lime and the houses of the Turks are painted in red") and its economic condition (including products exported from the region). In Patra, he visits the castle, the famous big-bodied cypress tree, the church of Saint Andrea and the holy spring (blessed water source / fountain). He adds the pattern that his travel companion Pomardi has drawn and displays the sacred source. Patra ' Noting that many black slaves were found in Dodwell, Dodwell also made efforts to obtain some archaeological artifacts. As he writes about Patra, he especially portrays the city's historical memory. On the Dodwell route, it documents scientifically its own knowledge as well as the old sources it used to showcase the contemporary reality of Greece and previous travel testimonies.
Due to an epidemic in Dodwell Peloponnese, he chose to go to Athens in another way, passing through Nafpaktos (Inebahtı), Galaksidi (watching the carnival shows here) and passing through Amfisa (here he is a guest at the house of a Kefalonian doctor and visits the voivodeship), climbs to Parnasos mountain, Hriso and stops in Kastri and tour the Kastalya fountain and few ancient ruins that can be seen in Delfi. The road passes through the villages of Arahova and Distomo and takes him to the ancient site of the Trophonius priests in Livadia, from there he continues to other Viotia (Boeotia) villages (Orchomenos, Aliartos, Thespiae). Passing through the Eleutherae road and the Eleusis plain, on March 26, lord Elgin's work teams arrive in Athens when the relief of the Acropolis relief (relief) marbles.
Dodwell will stay here until September and visit almost all of Attica (Pendeli mountain, Fili, Acharnai, Kifisia, Vrauron, Porto Rafti, Thorikos, Lavrion, Sunion, Piraeus) and the Egina and Salamis islands. In addition to archaeological issues, he writes about the folk dances, music and games of the Greeks, even about baths, even insects and birds.
After Athens, it passes through Thiva (Thebai), Kopais lake, Thermopylae and Lamia, Stylis and Almyros to Volos and Pelion; in his article he mentions all the ancient city ruins he met along the way. After that, Larissa and Ambelakia come and are highly affected by the high level of living, cultured people and the cotton yarn dyeing industry. Thessaly plain returns to Athens after passing through Lilaia, Amfikleia, Fokida, Viotia (Boeotia) and stops by Chalkida and Marathon.
He stays in Athens all summer. In December of 1805, we find him touring the Argos-Corinth region: Dafni monastery, Eleusis and its religious mysteries, Megara, Corinthian isthmus, Corinthian fortress, Kechries, Nemea and its vineyards, Acropolis and ancient theater in Argos, the treasure of Mikene and Atreus, The ruins of Tiryns and Nauplion, Epidaurus and Asclepius temple, Troizina, Methana, Poros are the places he traveled and wrote. Then, on the road of Aegion, Sikyon passes through Xylokastron and stops in the local inns, and after Patra, he reaches Olympia on January 24, 1806 by describing all villages of Achaia and Ileia.
In the continuation of the trip, Messini visits Sparta in late February after visiting the ruins in Megalopolis and Vassai. After crossing Arkadiya and Achaia (by stopping at Tegea, Tripoliçe, Mantineia, Orchomenos, Stymphalia, Feneos, Kalavrita, Mega Spilaion), it reaches Patra in the spring and finally reaches Rome on September 18, 1806.
Dodwell (who has drafted about 400 places and monuments) has been aiming to combine the scientific look with art by adding the engravings to them after using the camera obscura technique and documenting the archaeological ruins he has visited recently. The four volumes of his work, published after Dodwell, are a basic handbook for all travelers traveling around Greece and are still considered a very useful resource for archaeological research today.
The work was published 2 years after Dodwell's death in 1834. Publishers received the material to create the book and detailed instructions about the publication from Dodwell himself. Paintings with stone prints and based on Dodwell's own drawings show magnificent relic images from Greece and Italy. These include, in particular, wall forms, acropolis (city hills or endpoints), fortifications, and domed tombs. Engravings showing monuments in Greece are accompanied by descriptive and explanatory texts; the same is not true for monuments in Italy, however, because Dodwell was unable to write his explanations about them. Publishers have not been able to fill this gap. The embroidery of the paintings on stone was made by the well-known engraver C. Hullmandel.
Despite the misrepresentation of naming and identification in some of the architectural remains, Dodwell's work remains a pioneer in terms of both its subject and less-known archaeological sites. The aim of the author was to add this book to his two volume volume "Classical and Topographical Tour in Greece", published in 1819.

"RAGE--Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. " --Homer's Iliad capturing the rage of the 45EPIC landscapes and seascapes! :)

Bharata natyam dancer of Sri Devi Nrithyalaya - Chennai (Madras), South India .
Bharata-natyam is one of the traditional Indian dances, other performing arts being kuchipudi, kathakali, mohiniattam,
chhau, manipuri.
In this Classical dance form of Bharata natyam, the music and costumes play and important role. In these photos you
can see different traditional dance costumes.
Devadasis , temple dancers, were performing nritta and abhinaya in the temples. They learnt "bharata natyam" at
classical classes the history of mudras (hand gestures), songs, and performed their arangetram dances. You can buy
dvds videos of Bharata_natyam. You can see famous Bharata natyam dancers in this Bharata-natyam picture.
The City Federal Building is 27 floors of thigh-burning madness.
This neo-classical skyscraper was constructed in 1913 and remains the tallest structure of such design in the South.
The Wolfson galleries in the basement of the British Museum were accessible during the late 1980s and early 1990s and contained a fascinating display of Greek and Roman sculpture and architectural fragments, much of it clearly considered less worthy than the pieces on display in the main galleries upstairs but no less interesting, and including essential supplementary sculptural elements of two of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Also displayed here was the Townley Collection of classical sculpture, a room brimming with somewhat restored Roman white marble sculptures, made all the more fascinating by the cluttered and confined spaces, which seemed as much warehouse as museum!
Most of the galleries seem to have been closed to visitors since the mid 90s (the first room with architectural pieces is still open on rare occaisions). I'm not sure why, it could be something to do with the confined, cluttered spaces not being considered satisfactory as display areas though I suspect it's more likely to be cutbacks (shut rooms don't need to be staffed!). It's a real shame, as these rooms in the bowels of the building were one of my favourite areas.
A few of the better pieces are back on show upstairs in various parts of the mueum but the bulk presumably remains shut away in these cellars, unlikely to be seen by anyone beyond museum staff.
These pre-digital photos are from my last visit to these galleries in the early 1990s.
Mohiniyattam, also spelled Mohiniattam (Malayalam: മോഹിനിയാട്ടം), is a traditional South Indian dance from Kerala, developed by the great Tamil nattuvanar (dance master) Vadivelu,one of the Thanjavur Quartet. It is one of the eight Indian classical dance forms. It is considered a very graceful dance meant to be performed as a solo recital by women. The term Mohiniyattam comes from the words "Mohini" meaning a woman who enchants onlookers and "aattam" meaning graceful and sensuous body movements. The word "Mohiniyattam" literally means "dance of the enchantress".

The Golden Ratio in Dr. Elliot McGucken's Fine Art Ballet Photography!
facebook.com/goldennumberratio
Dr. E's: Golden Number Ratio Principle--Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after, thusly providing symmetry over not only space but time, and exalting life’s foundational dynamic symmetry. Robust, ordered, symmetric growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in the arrangement of nature’s discrete elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which they and all their vital sustenance, as well as all the flowers and nature’s epic beauty, had been created—the golden ratio.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries the small Thuringian town of Weimar witnessed a remarkable cultural flowering, attracting many writers and scholars, notably Goethe and Schiller. This development is reflected in the high quality of many of the buildings and of the parks in the surrounding area.
My very first guitar:
485 Vienna (1950-81)
Hofner Model 485 / Hofner Vienna
A mid-quality small bodied (width of 365mm) classical guitar. 50mm fingerboard width. Produced between 1950 and 1981.
Highly figured maple body back & sides, with solid spruce top. Rosewood fingerboard. Dark brown lacquer finish. Carved "dragon's tooth" soundhole decoration.
A large-bodied version of this guitar called the 485G (375mm body width) was produced between 1953 & 1970.
The 485 was supplied to Selmer London between c1956 and the early 1970's. Selmer gave it the model name "Vienna".

The Paris Pantheon was a rationalist reaction against the Baroque (or rather, against the Rococo). This Neoclassical structure, was its first great monument, designed by Jacques Germain Soufflot (1713-80) as a Catholic church, Ste-Genevieve, but secularized during the French Revolution.
Its dome is derived from St. Paul's Cathedral in London, indicating England's new importance for continental architects.
Meleager of Scopas the last generation of the polyckeitan school
Similar to Lysippus, Scopas is in his art a successor of the Classical Greek sculptor Polycleitos. The faces of the heads almost in quadrat with deeply sunken eyes and a slightly opened mouth are specific characters in the figures of Scopas. Meleager. Roman copy from 340-330 BC. Pergamon Museum, Berlin.
Deutsch: Statue des Meleagros, römische Kopie nach einer griechieschen Bronzestatue, um 340-330 v. Chr.
English: Statue of Meleager, Roman copy after a Greek bronze original, ca. 340–330 BC.
Français : Statue de Méléagre, copie romaine d'un original en bronze grec, v. 340-330 av. J.-C.
Meleager was among the ARGONAUTS and the CALYDONIAN HUNTERS. He died in a war which he might have provoked, or else because a certain piece of wood was consumed by fire.
Prophecy
When Meleager was seven days old, the three MOERAE appeared and declared that the child should die once the brand burning on the hearth was burnt out. Clotho said that he would be noble and Lachesis that he would be brave, but Atropus looked at the brand burning on the hearth and declared:
"He will live only as long as this brand remains unconsumed." (Hyginus, Fabulae 171).
Meleager's mother Althaea, having thus being informed of her child's fate, took up the brand and put it into a chest. But many years later this same brand was set afire again and Meleager died.
ARGONAUTS and CALYDONIAN HUNTERS
In the meantime Meleager, who was virtually invulnerable, joined the ARGONAUTS and sailed with them from Hellas to Colchis in Caucasus in order to fetch the Golden Fleece. At their return, many among those who had been ARGONAUTS participated in what became known as the Calydonian Boar Hunt. This hunt took place because because Meleager's father, King Oeneus 2 of Calydon, while sacrificing the first fruits of the annual crops of the country to all the gods, had forgotten Artemis. To punish his negligence, the goddess sent a boar of extraordinary size and strength that prevented the land from being sown, and destroyed both cattle and people. To get rid of the nuisance, King Oeneus 2 assembled the noblest men of Hellas—today known as the CALYDONIAN HUNTERS—, promising to give the Boar's skin as a prize to him who should kill the beast.

This is part of a set of ancient glass drinking vessels in the collection of the Archaeology Museum in Axum, Ethiopia.
I love the contrast between the restrained, classical shape of the basic vessel, including the fillet below the rim, and the lively decorative loops that dance their way around its circumference.
I'm also impressed by the consistency in shape and size between and among the individual pieces in this set.
The Axumite Kingdom maintained extensive trade ties with other parts of the ancient world, so this item could have come from any of several far-off markets. One of my viewers kindly let me know these pieces are believed to have been imported from Alexandria.
As different as the Axumite world was from ours, I'd like to think the excitement of unpacking these exotic goods and using them for the first time would have been the same in both societies.
While these pieces are probably well over a thousand years old, they look as fresh as anything you'd find in one of the hip art glass galleries in the Seattle area.
I'll take a dozen, thank you!
The Axumite Kingdom evolved from a city-state to a regional power between the second century before the current era and the second century of the current era.
At its peak between the third and sixth centuries of the current era, Axum controlled inter-regional and Red Sea trade. Axum is believed to have traded widely, with contacts in Byzantium, Alexandria and southern Europe.
Axum began to decline in the seventh century with the spread of Islam, which severed the trade routes that had been Axum's economic lifeblood.
A remnant of the Axum Kingdom persisted in the Blue Nile region until a rebellion finished it off in the tenth century.
