Views soon to be gone forever. 😔

(Walt Disney World is removing the Rivers of America, the steam boat, and island to fill it all in and build a Pixar Cars ride.)

Will be such a loss to lose this beautiful place making and serene environment in the busiest theme park in the world.

Can you please tell more about Eridanos? The river being in hyperborea and underworld too is intriguing and I'd never heard of that before.

Sure! Eridanos usually comes up in works talking about Hyperborea. This is the sea in which Phaethon fell and died. Virgil is the one who writes about its presence in the underworld:

(When Aeneas enters the underworld): Others he sees, to right and left, feasting on the sward, and chanting in chorus a joyous paean within a fragrant laurel grove, from where the full flood of the Eridanus rolls upward through the forest.

- Virgil, Aeneid 6 (Trans, H. R. Fairclough)

The forest into which Eridanus rolls upwards is very likely Hyperborea, because it's described as the forest of Apollo.

"to the ends of the earth and to the sources of night and to the unfoldings of heaven and to [Hyperborea] the ancient garden of Phoibos".

- Strabo, Geography 7. 3. 1 (trans. Jones)

Here's a fun(?) thing to do on a Wednesday evening - compare the US Embassy versus the Canadian High Commission to London.

The Canadian is this beautiful grand Neo-Grecian building directly on Trafalgar Square and is shining and beautiful and look at all those maple leaves...

Then the US meanwhile has been punted to south of the river (gasp! the only one south of the river ohoho aren't you special) and it... Well.

All hail the cube.
