A 16th century Italian stiletto or a more contemporary 19th century dagger <3

Introducing a hc that @lvsifer and I discussed a while ago (in love with old stiletto daggers):
One of these (or similar) being given to Mairon as the only weapon he is allowed to carry at the royal court in Númenor:
Stabbing you
Ο δὲ Ἀλέξανδρος, ἐλθὼν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Ἄμμωνος, ἐπηρώτα τὸν θεὸν εἰ πάντων τῶν ἀνθρώπων βασιλεὺς ἐστί. ὁ δὲ ἀνὴρ ὁ χρησμῳδός, ἀτενίσας, ἀπεκρίνατο· "οὐ μόνον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὦ παῖ Διός, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν θεῶν
But Alexander, having come to the temple of Ammon, asked the god whether he was the ruler of all men. And the priest, gazing at him, replied: 'Not only of men, O son of Zeus, but of the gods as well.'
Alexander the Great of Macedon and his forces encounter Darius III of Persia, betrayed and left to die by his own ally(s) in the year 330 B.C., marking the end to the Persian Achaemenid Empire.
“Here, Darius was assassinated by Bessus, the satrap of Bactria. He was discovered by Alexander in a dying condition by the roadside. He asked for a cup of water, thanked the giver, and died. And with him died the Empire of the Persians."
—Ridpath, 1885
Άγιος Διονύσιος ο εν Ολύμπω
The 16th century monastery of Saint Dionysius of Olympus | Mount Olympus | Greece
This is in my opinion the most fascinating yet perhaps very overlooked thing about the Greek culture. For example, here you have a monastery founded by a Christian monk and Saint named Dionysius, in the 16th century, in Mount Olympus, the residence of the Ancient Hellenic Pantheon, among whom Dionysus dwelled as well.
A walk in the Archaeological park of ancient Dion, Macedonia, Greece. The Hellenistic theatre has been recently renovated, beautiful news. Definitely, one of my most favourite places in Greece, perhaps less known than other attractions, yet emanating the vibes of mount Olympus, it is said that Orpheus was killed there by the furious maenads, a Dionysian worship is still felt today if someone is still open to such parallel realms. The greenery is another plus, green energy being rejuvenating for both body and soul.

Feast Days: Martinmas
Anthony Van Dyck ~ "St. Martin Dividing His Cloak" (c.1618)
Happy Martinmas!
Today marks the feast day of St. Martin of Tours, who was bishop there from 371 CE until his death in 397 CE. He is the patron saint of many things, including: against poverty, against alcoholism, the poor, cavalry, Buenos Aires, quartermasters, wool-weavers, soldiers, and tailors, as well as wine growers, makers, and sellers. Whew! He must be very busy.
Keep reading for info about his life, a snitch goose, where the word 'chapel' came from, and how to tell what the weather will be like at Christmas.
