Temple of Artemis, Brauron, Attica, Greece.

The temple of Artemis at Vravrona is a Doric temple built in the first half of 5th century BC at the site of an older temple (6th c. BC) destroyed by the Persians and it was the center of worship at the sanctuary. The cult statue of the goddess stood in the cella of the temple and a festival every four year the Brauronia was held in honour of the goddess. The possession of worshippers started from the sanctuary of Artemis Brauronia on Acropolis of Athens and arrived at the sanctuary of Brauron.
During the ritual of arkteia, girls from renowned families of Athens stayed in the sanctuary in order to be prepared for marriage and motherhood.

In this scene, the garden of the Hesperides seems to have become a sanctuary of Dionysos, for the guardian women may be maenads, and a satyr and Pan stand by.

🔴 Turkish Foreign Ministry complains about the declaration signed by Greece, Egypt and Cyprus: "Hostile policies that ignore our interests"
>https://archive.md/BMYlF

🔸 "The statement, published after the tripartite summit held on October 19, 2021 with the participation of the leaders of Greece, Egypt and the Greek Cypriot Administration, is a new manifestation of hostile policies of the Greek duo towards Turkey and occupied cyprus. The inclusion of Egypt in this statement is an indication that the Egyptian administration has not yet understood the real direction where it can cooperate in the Eastern Mediterranean"

‼️ "Ankara has shown to friends and foes that no initiative in the Eastern Mediterranean without the participation of Turkey and the occupied cyprus can be successful. However, these projects must not ignore the rights and interests of Turkey and the 'Turkish Cypriots' and must be inclusive"

This was an Armenian church in Yozgat, Turkey. It is now Fatih Mosque. One flag was not enough. Four were needed to properly nationalize it.

On the eve of the First World War, there were 48 Armenian-populated villages with a population of 75.5 thousand Armenians in the Yozgat area. In October 1914, Armenian men aged 18-45 in Gavar were drafted into the Turkish army and killed during the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

Human-faced Crab Carapace on a Greek Drachm from Akragas (Sicily), c. 420 BC.⁣

The obverse shows two eagles perched on the carcass of a hare. This design may have been inspired by the omen presented to Agamemnon and Menelaus in Aeschylos’ Agamemnon, where two eagles, representing the two kings, devoured a pregnant hare, an allusion to the city of Troy. The reverse shows a crab seen from above with the carapace turned into the human face which remarkably resembles the Heikegani Crab, a species native to Japan. Beneath it is a crayfish with a barley-grain and a cicada on either side.⁣
