“Harper’s Song” This is the testament of the excellent sovereign of marvelous destiny: The generations fade and disappear, others take their place in the time of the ancestors. The gods that once lived rest in their pyramids. The nobles and the blessed are buried in their graves. They had built houses whose location does not exist anymore. What has also been theirs? I have heard the words of Imhotep and Hardedef who quote in proverbs and have survived everything. What has happened to his possessions? Its walls have collapsed, its dignities have disappeared as if they had never existed. No one comes back from there to tell us what their fate is, to tell us what they need, and to calm our hearts until we reach that place where they have already arrived. May your heart, then, be appeased. Oblivion is favorable to you. Obey your spirit for as long as possible. Anoint your brow with myrrh, get dressed in fine linen, scent yourself with the true wonders that are part of the divine offering. Increase your content so that your heart does not languish. Follow your desire and your happiness, fill your destiny on earth. Do not expose your heart to restlessness until the day when the mourning lament reaches you. He whose heart is weary does not hear his cry; and his scream does not save anyone from the grave. So make a party of the day, and do not feel fed up. Look, nobody carries their assets with them. Look, no one comes back from those who have left. Egyptian poem dated in the XXI century a.C. composed to sing at banquets and weddings. Markers and collage on paper. 25 x 18 cm.

Sobriété et extravagance

Art fairs like PAN Amsterdam give an idea of the tendencies in art. Here, contemporary art seems to tend to realism, but photography, on the other hand, is often staged, and may have a surrealist streak. Interesting. But there is so much more to see...

Author: Gregory N. Daugherty

Description from Bloomsbury:

This study examines the reception of Cleopatra from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day as it has been reflected in popular culture in the United States of America. Daugherty provides a broad overview of the influence of the Egyptian queen by looking at her presence in film, novels, comics, cartoons, TV shows, music, advertising and toys. The aim of the book is to show the different ways in which the figure of Cleopatra was able to reach a large and non-elite audience.

Furthermore, Daugherty makes a study of the reception of Cleopatra during her own lifetime. He begins by looking at her portrayal in the vicious propaganda campaign waged by Octavian against his rival Marc Antony. The consequence was that Cleopatra was left with a tarnished reputation after the civil war. Daugherty's examination of both the historical and contemporary reception of Cleopatra shows the enduring legacy of one of history's most remarkable queens.

In the name of the father

In the name of the son

In the name of the holy ghost

Is that why you killed me

Well at least you tried

Tried to put me to rest

But I survived

I am your soul I am your master

You are my tool to bring disaster

You know I love you but that's a lie

I only need you to survive

Pray to your god, you pray as you spit red

Pray to your god, you god will fail and you

Will be dead...

Try to ignore me but that won't do

I won't leave before I've killed you

In the name of the father...

Your god is dead and I am the one

Pray to... @bigbonzo @necro69mancer

I Need you - remastered 2003 by Grave 🫶🏽

Understanding The Hellenistic Culture

Hellenism refers to the culture, ideals, and patterns of life that emerged in ancient Greece and spread throughout the Mediterranean and beyond, particularly during the Hellenistic period (323–30 BCE). This era began with the death of Alexander the Great and lasted until the establishment of Roman domination.

1. Cultural Influence

Hellenism was characterized by the spread of Greek culture, language, and ideas. This influence was particularly strong in regions that Alexander the Great conquered, including parts of Asia and North Africa. Greek became the lingua franca, facilitating trade and communication.

2. Philosophy and Science

The Hellenistic period saw the flourishing of philosophy and science. Schools of thought such as Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Skepticism emerged, each offering different perspectives on ethics, knowledge, and the nature of the universe. Figures like Epicurus and Zeno of Citium were pivotal in shaping philosophical discourse.

3. Art and Architecture

Hellenistic art is known for its increased emotional expression and realism compared to earlier periods. Sculptures depicted more dynamic poses and detailed facial expressions. Architecture also evolved, with grand structures and the use of new techniques, leading to impressive monuments like the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

4. Religion and Mythology

Hellenism also saw the adaptation and syncretism of religious beliefs. While traditional Greek gods remained central, local deities were often incorporated into Hellenistic practices. This blending of religions allowed for a diverse spiritual landscape.

5. Political Structures

The political landscape of the Hellenistic world was marked by the rise of various kingdoms, such as the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt. These states often adopted Greek customs and governance models, thus furthering the spread of Hellenic culture.

Hellenism or the Hellenistic period represents a significant chapter in history, showcasing the exchange of ideas and culture across vast regions. Its legacy continues to influence modern Western thought, art, and philosophy, making it a vital area of study for understanding the foundations of contemporary society.
