💙 Artist: #CitéCréation + #MaxCabannes in City: #Angoulême /6 Bd Pasteur / France 🇨🇵 2002 - Title: "La Fille des Remparts" - (📷 by Yann Le Noay) - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #Painting #Blue #Classics #Travel
Streetartwall. A fantastic mural based on a comic drawing by Max Cabannes has been installed on the outside wall of a four-storey building on the city wall. The huge mural (120 m²) is painted entirely in shades of blue and shows a girl leaning against the city wall and looking down on the city below. This painted light blue wall connects to the real city wall on the right. The mural shows the view of a town built into the rock on the wall of the house. It incorporates parts of the surroundings, such as roofs and parts of buildings, e.g. the city wall, and continues them in an imaginary view. A wonderfully precise work that extends over several levels and characterizes the cityscape.

This feeling never gets old 🥰 My new book is out in the world today! The Mute Goddess: Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths. And yes, it has that new book smell!

I am very excited, and very nervous. I put my heart and soul into researching these myths. Maybe because I am an archaeologist, but this one makes me more nervous about what people will think than any of my previous books 😬

Photo of me (white woman, 30s, long red hair, glasses, blue eyes, sparkly makeup, toothy smile), holding a book with a blue cover, decorated with constellations and the stylized image of a Greek goddess with long flowing hair. Title (in Hungarian) reads The Mute Goddess: Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths.

By the way, said "Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths" book is looking for an English lanuage publisher ;)

It is coming out in Hungary on the 16th from Trend Kiadó.

It contains 25 little known stories from Greek and Roman mythology - including variants of myths not included in most popular collections. Sourced and researched, and re-told by a storyteller.

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know :)

The cover of the book. Translation: Zalka Csenge Virág: The Mute Goddess: Forgotten Greek and Roman myths. The cover is designed in shades of blue, and portrays the stylized image of a goddess with long, flowing hair, surrounded by constellations and catching stars in her palm. Cover art by Khor Fruzsina.

My new favorite quote, from the footnotes for Antoninus Liberalis' #mythology book:

"A hooked line cast into antiquity pulls in many other lines, all sources of red herrings!"

😂

Antoninus Liberalis keeps on giving. Today's favorite myth is "Hercules talks a himbo into dumping his abusive boyfriend."

Antoninus Liberalis also mentions that on Crete people worshiped Leto the Grafter, a goddess who changed a woman into a man by "grafting organs on him". Just saying.

So was anyone going to tell me that the "sacrificial virgin rescued from dragon by dashing hero" story existed as a gay love story in ancient times, or was I supposed to just find out from Antoninus Liberalis myself?...
