"But having gone down into Hades because of his wife & seeing what sort of things were there, he did not continue to worship #Dionysos, because of whom he was famous, but he thought #Helios to be the greatest of the gods, Helios whom he also addressed as Apollon."
Eratosthenes, Placings Among the Stars 24

"As soon as we die, we enter into fiction. Just ask two different family members to tell you about someone recently gone and you will see what I mean. Once we can no longer speak for ourselves, we are interpreted" (Hilary Mantel).

Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹

This statuette is a variant of the #Aphrodite Anadyomene type. Her eyes are inlaid with glass paste. The pose may have been inspired by a famous painting of Aphrodite Anadyomene by Apelles, court painter of Alexander the Great.

🏛️ Aphrodite bronze, 2nd-1st century BCE. Today in the MET, New York.
