mythology meme // Greek Goddess // Artemis

She was goddess of chastity, virginity, the hunt, the moon, and the natural environment… She is the lady of the wild things. She is the huntsman of the gods. She is the protector of the young. Like Apollo she hunts with silver arrows. She became associated with the moon. She is a virgin goddess, and the goddess of chastity. She also presides over childbirth, which may seem odd for a virgin, but goes back to causing Leto no pain when she was born. She became associated with Hecate. The cypress is her tree. All wild animals are scared to her, especially the deer. …The people seeing her ride over the mountains, wielding her silver bow, followed by the maidens and their torches, called her the Goddess of the Moon. Some called her the Maiden of the Silver Bow. Others called her The Huntress or simply The Maiden. Homer refers to her as Artemis Agrotera, Potnia Theron: “Artemis of the wildland, Mistress of Animals”. [x] [x]

mythology meme // Nymphs // Nereids

The Nereides (or Nereids) were fifty Haliad Nymphs or goddesses of the sea. They were the patrons of sailors and fishermen, who came to the aid of men in distress, and goddesses who had in their care the sea’s rich bounty. Individually they also represented various facets of the sea, from salty brine, to foam, sand, rocky shores, waves and currents, in addition to the various skills possessed by seamen… The Nereides were depicted in ancient art as beautiful young maidens, sometimes running with small dolphins or fish in their hands, or else riding on the back of dolphins, hippokampoi (fish-tailed horses) and other sea creatures.

art history meme | 1/2 museums: Musée du Louvre, Paris

The Louvre, in its successive architectural metamorphoses, has dominated central Paris since the late 12th century. Built on the city’s western edge, the original structure was gradually engulfed as the city grew. The dark fortress of the early days was transformed into the modernized dwelling of François I and, later, the sumptuous palace of the Sun King, Louis XIV. The reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV had a major impact on the Louvre and Tuileries palaces. The extension of the west wing of the Cour Carrée under Louis XIII marked the beginning of an ambitious program of work that would be completed by Louis XIV and added to by Louis XV, resulting in the Louvre that we see today. The glass Pyramid built by I. M. Pei was inaugurated on March 30, 1989. Rising from the center of the Cour Napoléon, it is the focal point of the museum’s main axes of circulation and also serves as an entrance to the large reception hall beneath.

"Erebus"

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:26:10 -0430

cuddlesbentom221blecterstreet:

“A human visage carries a heavy price

where the Earth rots in unfaithful flesh;

an animal is an animal despite its guise,

frenetic pacing-unsatiated minds;

It’s eyes were red in the dead of night

growling at me edaciously;

a beast, I thought for sure,

but too soon for Hades flight;

This is Erebus in its desperate plight,

A soul in battle, impervious to holy light”

Achilles & Penthesilea (Greek Mythology Series)

Penthesilea, a fierce Scythian, once dared to attack by horse the Greek ships with arrows; After the gilded metal helmet was removed and her forehead exposed, her brilliant form conquered the man, Achilles, the victor. (x)
