Nemea

Nemea was a religious sanctuary in the northern Peloponnese of Greece where pan-Hellenic athletic games were held every two years from 573 BCE until 271 BCE, after which, the Games were definitively moved to Argos.

Some doodles I did while waiting at the ER room in the hospital yesterday. Just messy sketches, but I might finish some of these, either trad or digital~

They're all some of my least drawn OCs, felt like giving them some love. In the first one, left is Kyouko, my Jujutsu Kaisen Oc, and on the right it's Chiyuki, my Enstars OC. On the second one, left is Nemea and right is Lily, Twisted Wonderland OCs. They're Szi's little twin sisters.

Edit: just realized I forgot Lily's glasses, oops haha Well, she wasn't wearing them at the time for some reason(???) It's fine hahah

During a very cold windy Sunday, we went to explore Nemea, whose name might be familiar because of the lion and Hercules and so.

But Dim told me the story of this archaeological site and it was very interesting. There was this american guy, Stephen Miller, that back in the 70s asked to the greek government permission to excavate in Nemea, because he knew what he was going to find: The stadium, the Zeus temple, and some more. And he did! All with his money and donors money, Greece didn't have to pay for any of these. The guy spent decades in there, unearthing, restoring and finally opening both the site and the museum. He even managed to bring back the Nemean games (similar to the ancient olympic games) and now they're celebrated every 4 years, anyone can attend!

So, bless Mr. Miller, because this site was amazing and actually this was one of the few places where they actually let you step into the ruins and the temple itself :)

My Witchlight party just squared off against the remaining two hags in the depths of one's castle lair, and Nemea spent the first two rounds clinging to the underside of a balcony like some kind of cosmic murder cat-moth

Travels through History : The Peloponnese - Nemea

This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book called Travels through History : The Peloponnese. Nemea is roughly halfway between Corinth and Nafplio. The name is famous as it was here that Hercules carried out the first of his twelve labours, namely the slaying of the Nemean Lion that lived in a nearby cave. After strangling the poor cat, Hercules wore its skin as a trophy.  Nemea was also famous…

Hercules Strangles the Nemean Lion

Parallel geometric planes, each plane a hologram of an ocean’s surface, the holographic slices of ocean stacked vertically like the storeys of a building, in infinite series. All motion here is frictionless, inarticulate: you can glide over the surface of a plane until the shadowed horizon recedes or pass through each hologram to the ocean above or the one below. The oceans have a cloudy translucence in which phosphorescent filaments of blue, white, gold, red, orange, and violet glint like the scales of fish. Often the iridescence synchronises across whole tracts of water and you can make out proto-forms in the glimmering churn. But look now yonder: islanded by the fluxing swell, a membrane of water is lighting the rude outlines of a landscape, an encoded mathematical memory of events from eons past: irregular spits of pitchy rock forked in the gritty, weedy soil of an olive-hued scrubland beneath a bleached, cancelling sky. Extruding ribcages of mauled oxen sticky with congealed blood and swarming with blue-green flies lie between tufts of wild grass, and a shepherd’s dog is barking dementedly, and bubbles of blood inflate and deflate on the lips of a shepherd boy who is still alive, his eyeballs, brow, and the bridge of his nose torn from his face, and something is loping in the periphery, its mane and head dark umber and slick with blood, and it has been chased twice on horseback and pelted with arrows and stones back to its cave a league distant from the nearest settlement, but it smells the sweat of the livestock on the breeze. His greaves jag into the flesh of his ankles as he pounds uphill, the loose chalky topsoil giving way underfoot and scattering backwards in dusty cones. In his right hand is a truculent wooden club honeycombed with dull nails, the weighted end pointing downwards like a third leg or a pendulum, which he periodically drives into the earth whilst climbing to keep his footing. Nearing the crescent lips of the cave mouth he relaxes his pace, uncords his vast shield from his back, and rights his club. The entranceway is hooded like a monk’s cowl, and he sidles through it while his eyes adjust to the grainy darkness inside. Amid the black organs of the chamber he sees two golden zeroes hanging in mid-air, and with its long, shadowed, rutted face it is as though the luminescent eyes of some minor rustic deity are peering from behind a carved wooden mask. He rushes it with his shield, hoping to lame its front legs with his club before it can react, but it is lying atop a flat-topped, chest-high rock, and as he raises his club it throws itself at his head and lands on his shield and clings to his shield’s top edge with one paw and with the other paw swipes at the arm holding the club, and ribbons of flesh open on his forearm and he drops the club, and its claws lacerate his bowed neck and shoulders as he carries it clinging to his shield like some monstrous baby and slams its back against the cave wall. With its limbs pinned and splayed under the bronze oval, he starts thumping its head with the bottom of his fist like a shipwright nailing planks into a ship’s hull. After twenty blows it writhes free and with its bloodied head makes for the white pool of the cave mouth. He throws aside his shield and jumps on its back. He reaches around the soft underside of its huge neck with his right arm and with his left hand palming the back of his right hand grapples it into a chokehold, and it struggles demonically, but null its face and claws it is nothing but blind, striated ropes of muscle pulling on rods of bone, and his face is pressed into its matted mane and he breathes the hot musk of its body as its life ebbs away.

Pancracio

El pancracio es un antiguo arte marcial que mezcla la lucha libre y el boxeo. El origen de este deporte se remonta al segundo milenio antes de Cristo, en el territorio de la antigua Grecia. Su nombre deriva de las antiguas palabras griegas pan (todo) y kratos (fuerza, poder, potencia) y literalmente significa "todas las fuerzas". En el 648 a. C., el pancracio se introdujo como evento deportivo en los 33º Juegos Olímpicos de la Antigüedad, donde se unió al boxeo y a la lucha libre en una categoría llamada "eventos pesados". Ese grupo especial de deportes estaba reservado para los mejores atletas con mayor fuerza y ​​resistencia.

Today, I finally checked out fishing in Harvestella, and got a few good catches! The fishing is very chill & easy (at least in the first village), and I quite enjoyed it :3
