Medium: Oil on canvas

Description

Acis and Galatea are characters from Greek mythology later associated together in Ovid's Metamorphoses. The episode tells of the love between the mortal Acis and the Nereid (sea-nymph) Galatea; when the jealous CyclopsPolyphemus kills Acis, Galatea transforms her lover into an immortal river spirit.

Do you think Polyphemus, Galatea and Acis could work as a polycule or is Acis expendable lol

acis isbeyond expandable i would villianize him I would push all the slander perseus gets in retellings and give it to acis "thats unfair!" "thats not true to the character" I DONT CARE THE RULES I CARVE ARE TABLETS SOWN ONTO THE HALLS OF TRUTH FUCK ACIS "waah waah waah" FUCK you acis and DOUBLE fuck your livershaped heart. as martin from redwall once said

Once upon a time, Polyphemus, the Cyclops from the journey of Odysseus, fell in love. Galatea was a lovely Nereid who was in love with Acis (whose story I previously told). Polyphemus learned of this when he saw the two together thusly crushed Acis with a boulder and breaking the heart of Galatea. IN MY OPINION, with this version in mind, Galatea could represent a) the types of lovers you attract, b) how those that love you tend to become jealous, and/or c) the terrible things that happen to those you love.

In another version, a sculptor named Pygmalion makes an ivory statue showcasing what he believes to be the ideal of womanhood and names it Galatea. He becomes so enamored by Galatea that he falls in love with her. Venus was enchanted by this and brought the statue of Galatea to life in answer to Pygmalion's prayers. The two then had a child named Paphos together. IN MY OPINION, with this version in mind, Galatea could represent a) beauty/attractiveness, b) what makes you someone's ideal, c) who you can enchant with you looks, d) where your love story attracts a lot of attention, and/or e) where people tend to be extremely hopeful of having you in their lives.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of galatea along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of galatea AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede galatea!

Christopher Purves, "Fra l'ombre e gl'orrori" (G.F. Handel)

From Handel's Aci, Galatea e Polifemo, a dramatic cantata written in 1708, this dark aria that likens the singer, as the titular Cyclops Polifemo/Polyphemus, to a spent butterfly that knows no joy or peace, while putting the vocalist, in this case bass-baritone Purves, through a roller coaster of a melody that pushes the upper and lower ranges of the register. Beautifully performed live here by the singer.

The cantata, which Handel later turned into the masque Acis and Galatea, is based on the story in Ovid's Metamorphoses of the love between the sea nymph Galatea and the mortal Acis, which comes to a tragic end thanks to the jealous Cyclops.

ACIS: La comunidad de los judíos de Damasco en Buenos Aires

🇦🇷 La Asociación Comunidad Israelita Sefaradí de Flores (ACIS) fue fundada el 1 de junio de 1913 por inmigrantes provenientes de Damasco, Siria, en el barrio de Flores, Buenos Aires. Su principal objetivo era ofrecer a sus hijos una educación religiosa y transmitir las tradiciones de su tierra natal. El fundador de esta institución fue el rabino Jacob Cohen Salama, quien junto con otros miembros de la comunidad, comenzó a enseñar en su propia casa. En 1922, adquirieron el terreno en Avellaneda 2874, donde se construyó el templo que se inauguró en 1925. A lo largo de los años, esta comunidad se destacó por su labor educativa, y en 1955 inició un proceso de renovación que culminó con la creación de la Escuela Maimónides, reconocida por su calidad académica y que hoy cuenta con 400 alumnos. Además, la comunidad tiene un segundo templo, dedicado a las actividades juveniles, y ha sido hogar de grandes rabinos, como Eliao Cohen Frehue y Josep Pitón, quienes contribuyeron a mantener viva la llama del judaísmo. Hoy, ACIS es una de las comunidades judías más prestigiosas y queridas de América Latina.
