At the request of one of my followers I created a Substack 🤎 The first post goes into an interesting topic based off of this 6th century Patera found in Lampsacus, Turkey. My notes are included at the bottom that touches more on the Amazons, truth vs fiction/historical misinformation, and the story behind the character Wonder Woman.

Hope you guys find it interesting! Subscribe & share

Two tailed Scylla, bronze patera, Roman. Between 1 century BCE and 79 CE. British Museum.

Scylla is grabbing a man by the hair while her three dogs bite and maul Odysseus’s shipmates. While her arm is raised, she doesn’t appear to be holding anything in her hands.

There's a few other ancient Roman examples of Scylla with two tails, like these coins and this intaglio. Two tailed Scyllas are most common in ancient Etruscan art.

Here's a zoomed out pic of the bowl:
