Now that I no longer collect stuff, I feel like I find more amazing things. I thought this was a hawk but looking online that funnel shaped eye ring is more of an owl thing.

So I know we hate AI but the google NotebookLM thing where you can upload sources and have it draw connections is great for playing with my emotional support Bactrian PDF collection

Seated goddess with a child

Hittite, c. 14th–13th century BCE

This tiny pendant was probably intended to be worn round the neck as an amulet. Small gold figures with loops survive from Iran, Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Egypt, attesting to the widespread use of such objects. Similar objects from Hittite culture suggest that these small figures were portable representations of Hittite gods. The figure shown here, cast in gold using the lost-wax process, is of a seated goddess in a long gown, with large oval eyes and a thin mouth with creases at the sides. She is wearing simple, looped earrings and a necklace. Her disk-like headdress probably represents the sun, which would lead to the conclusion that this may be the sun goddess, Arinna, a major Hittite divinity. A loop for suspension protrudes from the back of the headdress. On her lap the goddess holds a naked child, cast separately of solid gold and then attached. The chair on which they are seated is backless and has lion paws.

Arrhidaeus showing little Ochus son of Darius his rock collection because they're both in the 'Alexander the Great will probably need to kill them one day but he doesn't feel like it right now' club.

Mary Renault's characterization of Arrhidaeus is great I always wonder how accurate it was though. Also the tradition that Alexander captured Darius's 6 year old son, that is ignored in the other sources because it's like.... ok what happened to him?

Anyway in my version of reality he survives, sees his sisters get poisoned, almost gets killed my some high ranking Macedonian who's trying to tie up loose ends and then ends up in a temple being a doctor lol. We love that for him.

I hope this doesn't come across as patronizing but I loved Arrhidaeus' character in the trilogy I thought he was kind of adorable. Literally all he wanted was to keep riding elephants I wished he got to just ride his elephants in peace.

Yeah I agree I like his character, I was just doing some research that maybe his disability wasn’t that bad and was played up so that he would never get real power while Alexander was around? But I don’t know.

When you're too good at playing the kithara but it doesn't really matter, does it?

Will I ever draw 310 BC autistic lesbian musician in Alexandria comic... idk

[deerheadlights]

So this really sucks... on the bright side I started watching Heeramandi and feel extremely normal about it... I can't take screenshots so this will have to do.

Like this poor gay eunuch that the main characters mom was being homophobic at can't believe how hot this evil juiced up British policeman is but he's damn he just wants me to get him a hook up with the courtesan girls BUT NO he's gay too. Is he plumbing him for info to destroy the head courtesan lady? Yes but let Ustaad live his dreams
