Muses appear on late sixth century Attic vases holding single flowers, an action which directs us towards the wider associations of flower picking: the purity of the sacred meadow; the virgin purity of the girls themselves; their exuberant potential for fertility and growth; and deeper themes to do with vitality, mortality and eschatological survival. These associations are of great antiquity, with analogues in Minoan culture. In the classical era, meadows and gardens were dedicated to the Muses, their shrines being often in open air sacred spaces; and they were associated with landscape and natural forces. Helicon itself, the sacred mountain of the Muses, was credited in antiquity with unusual levels of fertility. The iconographic evidence for flowers and Muses goes to reinforce the well established importance of vegetal imagery in archaic and fifth century treatments of the power of poetry to immortalise its subjects. It is an aspect of the Muses' collective identity that was expressed by the Muse-name Thalia, cognate with [thallo] and combining, in Deborah Steiner's admirable formulation, 'natural luxuriance with communal rejoicing'.

Agatha Christie: Őszi borzongás

„Száz évvel az első könyve után még mindig az ő árnyékában állunk.” Andrew Taylor „Ősz��� párás reggelek, bekuckózós esték… de amikor a levelek hullani kezdenek, az éjszakák hosszabbakká, az árnyak pedig sötétebbé válnak. Borzongató kalandozásra hívjuk Agatha Christie rajongóit. A napsütötte Rodosztól és Afrikától a ködös Londonig, vidéki udvarháztól az Old Bailey tárgyalóterméig vezet az utunk.…

I have this project I mentioned wanting to do a while back and then I never talked about it again, so I bet a lot of you thought I abandoned it like all my other projects but I did not! Nay, I have been toiling away, and now have a beautiful video to show all of my progress.

Egy nőt el lehet dobni, mint egy gyufaskatulyát, mert valaki szenvedélyes, mert ilyen a természete, mert nem tudja egy nőhöz kötni magát, vagy mert magasra tör, mert eszköz számára minden és mindenki. Meg tudom érteni... Aljasság, de van benne valami emberi. De eldobni valakit szórakozottságból... ez több mint aljasság. Erre nincs bocsánat, mert embertelen.

[apollon-quotes]

“The Mousai are always dancing, and the goddesses love to busy themselves with songs and strings. But when they see Apollon beginning to lead the dance, they put their heart into their singing even more than before and send down from Helikon an all-harmonious sound.”

- Simonides, Fragment 578 (from Himerius, Orations)

9 Metageitniōn| Μεταγειτνιών (Attic Calendar) - 14th of August/ 20th-24th of August

Helios (Ἡλιος), The Muses (Μουσαι) and Rhea (Ρεια, Μητηρ Θεων)

The Muses are: Melpomene the Muse of tragedy held a tragic mask, Thaleia Muse of comedy a comedy mask, Terpiskhore Muse of dance a lyre, Kalliope the Muse of epic poetry a lyre, Kleio the Muse of history a stylus and scroll, Polymnia the Muse of hymns a veil and pensive pose, Ourania the Muse of astronomy a globe, Erato the Muse of erotic poetry a lyre, and Euterpe the Muse of lyric poetry a flute.

Hesiod, Theogony 1 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or 7th B.C.) :

"Of the Mousai Helikoniades (of Helikon) let us begin to sing, who hold the great and holy mount of Helikon, and dance on soft feet about the deep-blue spring and the altar of the almighty Kronion [Zeus], and, when they have washed their tender bodies in Permessos [stream of Helikon] or in the Hippokrene (Horse's Spring) or Olmeios [stream of Helikon], make their fair, lovely dances upon highest Helikon and move with vigorous feet"

Rhea, Mater Megala

Antoninus Liberalis, Metamorphoses 19 (trans. Celoria) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :

"In Krete there is said to be a sacred cave full of bees. In it, as storytellers say, Rhea gave birth to Zeus; it is a sacred place an no one is to go near it, whether god or mortal. At the appointed time each year a great blaze is seen to come out of the cave. Their story goes on to say that this happens whenever the blood from the birth of Zeus begins to boil up. The sacred bees that were the nurses of Zeus occupy this cave."

Ἡλιος

HELIOS (Helius) was the Titan god of the sun, a guardian of oaths, and the god of sight. He dwelt in a golden palace in the River Okeanos (Oceanus) at the far ends of the earth from which he emerged each dawn, crowned with the aureole of the sun, driving a chariot drawn by four winged steeds. When he reached the the land of the Hesperides in the far West he descended into a golden cup which bore him through the northern streams of Okeanos back to his rising place in the East.

Homeric Hymn 31 to Helius (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th - 4th B.C.) :

"Glowing Helios (Sun) whom mild-eyed Euryphaessa (Wide Shining), the far-shining one, bare to [Hyperion] the son of Gaia (Gaea, Earth) and starry Ouranos (Uranus, Heaven). For Hyperion wedded glorious Euryphaessa, his own sister, who bare him lovely children, rosy-armed Eos (the Dawn) and rich-tressed Selene (the Moon) and tireless Helios (Helius, the Sun) who is like the deathless gods."

Poseidon

The great god

I begin to sing,

He who moves the earth

And the desolate sea

The deep water god

Who is lord

Of Helikon

And broad Aigai.

Shaker of the Earth

The gods gave you

A double honour.

You are

The tamer of horses

And the saviour of ships.

Farewell, Poseidon,

You hold up the earth.

You are dark-haired

You are blessed

You have a kind heart.

Help those who sail upon the sea

In ships.

- Homeric Hymn to Poseidon (transl. E. V. Rieu)
