#bc it took 150 hours + materials + skill

[boycritter]

also the assumption that the art you created FOR YOURSELF !!!! BECAUSE YOU WANTED IT!!!! is by default available for consumption by others???

yes, the price you would charge is expensive but the fact that so many people are automatically jumping to “wow, i couldn’t afford that, and you’re terrible for charging so much” but you’re not charging that much! because you’re not selling them!!

it’s so bonkers how fast fashion and capitalism in general has our reaction to cool art (ESPECIALLY fiber arts/textiles) be “I want to purchase that” and not admiration and appreciation for the artists skill

still thinking about the brainrot that fast fashion has caused in people, like i made this pair of pants that are black and white with a cool flowery design, and an acquaintance saw them and said "wow i'd pay like 20 dollars for you to make me a pair" and i could barely think with how utterly horrified i was at that; i told them that 20 dollars wouldn't even cover the materials, let alone the hours of work that went into cutting, sewing, ironing, hemming, altering, etc. they just had this look on their face when i told them that, when i said i wouldn't make them a pair for even 100 dollars because that was still way too low of an amount, a look that said "you're crazy for thinking that those cost 100 dollars" and maybe i am crazy but holy shit, 20 dollars for a pair of handmade, durable, lined pants fitted specifically to your measurements? 20 dollars for upwards of 60 hours of work? 20 dollars for several yards of high-quality fabric, thread, and buttons? 20 dollars???

History of Temple of Olympian Zeus

I always believe that you should know something about the history you are going to visit. Because when you know something about the place you will look at everything with different thoughts and eyes. This rule same for here of course. Please take a look at the history of this great temple. The temple is located in the south-east part of today's Athens, very close to the River Ilissos. The place where the temple is located part of the Athens Acropolis. That means this place is full of historical artifacts. The site has evidence of habitation and settlements from the Neolithic period. A famous Greek traveler and geographer Pausanias claim that the ancient sanctuary of Zeus was created by the Deukalion. Deukalion was to the son of Prometheus in Greek mythology.

The earliest archaeological evidence over this area dates back to the few more than the 6th BC. Peisistratos who was the son of Hippocrates was a ruler of ancient Athens between 561 and 527 BC. He started to build a very big Doric styled temple in 515 BC. The initial plan of the temples was made by a couple of architects whose name was Antiastates, Callaeschrus, and Antimachides. But the construction works didn't go after the foundation made by the limestone.

Endless Construction

After a couple of centuries construction works started again in 174 BC by the Antiochos IV Epiphanes who was the King of Syria. He employed a highly skilled Roman architect Cossutius. By the year of 163 BC columns and entablature of the Corinthian order temple finally finished. Temples were the Corinthian order which means the columns were thin and fluted with vertical lines cut over the surface, like almost the temples around Athens. But once again project stopped because of the death of the Antiochos.

Also in 150 AD Temple of Kronos and Rhea built on a very close area within the site. Temple of Zeus Panhellenios and Temple of Kronos and Rhea are relatively small when compared to the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Also today, there are very few remains of them. Around all these temples enclosed with Valerian Wall in 260 AD. Construction of this wall started in 256 AD and finished in 4 years. Almost after 200 years, the Basilica Olympieion (Basilica of Ilissos) was built on the northern side of the original precinct wall.

Also, this construction area was enclosed by using a porous wall built by using the rocks with high carbonate content. This wall buttressed with a regularly spaced columns along the interior face of the temple. There is a propylon gate in the north-west corner of that wall. In the center of all this, a massive and really big one marble temple raised with a dimension of 110.35 x 43.68 meters. These columns are unusually higher than similar temples. Each column is 17.25 meters high and 1.7 meters of diameter.

In the beginning, there was a 104 column at the temples but today these numbers of the column are too low than 104. Inside the temple, there was a huge statue of Zeus and Hadrian made from gold and ivory. The fate of those artifacts is unknown. We know the materials of the Temple of Olympian Zeus were re-used in other buildings. Today, we can't believe this behavior but during that time this was totally normal and common. Now, there only 15 columns of the temple are still standing and remained intact. 2 of them are in the south-west corner and 13 of them are in the south-east corner.
