ARTEMIS Shooting an Arrow: A fine example of the Direct Hollow Lost-wax Technique - in this process, a bronze statue is cast by pouring molten bronze into a mold created from a wax model. The heat melts the wax [which is 'lost'], while air escape through a specialized system of gates and vents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost-wax_casting Discovered in the Temple of Apollo, Pompeii, in 1817, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Apollo_(Pompeii) 2 BC. '..only the upper part is preserved. The goddess, daughter of Leto and sister of Apollo, pulls back the bow string in order to shoot an arrow.'

Writing Chapter 2 of Oeng äo aytanhì lu

I want to apologise to the ancient greeks: I am stealing the ritual of prostration and giving it to the Sarentu. No, you may not take it back. I need it more.

Yes, I hear Zeus might strike me down. Please do.

20.09.18 || I just finished up the first two weeks of online classes and oh my, are they stressful. I only taking three courses this term and I feel like I’m taking six! Does anyone else feel like online classes are more difficult than in-person classes?

This year I am a T.A. for the first time ever! This weekend will be used to brush up on my Greek grammar so that I can be the best for my students.
