Propaganda

Marpessa Dawn (Black Orpheus)—She's like. fairy tale princess etheral pretty. truly eurydice realness. AND she's a singer AND she's a dancer. she used to be a governess/nightclub dancer, which isn't hot per say i just thought it was an interesting job combination. If you want to hear her sing just look up the Black Orpheus soundtrack

Irene Papas (Tribute to a Bad Man, Electra, Zorba the Greek)—"From the opening shot of Michael Cacoyannis's Electra, as the proud, implacable face emerges from encroaching shadows, it becomes impossible to imagine anyone else as Euripides's heroine. Erect, immutably dignified, dark eyes burning fiercely beneath heavy black brows, Irene Papas visibly embodies the sublimity of classical Greece, tragic yet serene." -Philip Kemp (film critic) Also she's a a badass.

This is round 4 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Pompeii: the new discoveries in the excavation in Region IX

The dominant theme seems to be that of heroism, due to the representations of pairs of heroes and deities of the Trojan War, but also due to the fact and at the same time of the often open possibility that man has to be able to change his own destiny.
In addition to Helena and Paris, indicated in a Greek inscription between the two figures under her other name “Alexandros”, the figure of Cassandra, daughter of Priam, appears on the walls of the living room. In Greek mythology Cassandra was known for her gift of foresight and the terrible fate that prevented her from changing the future. Despite her ability to see beyond the present, no one believes her words, due to a curse that Apollo inflicts on her for not giving herself to him, and therefore she will not be able to prevent the tragic events of the Trojan War. that she predicted. After being raped during the taking of Troy, she will end up as Agamemnon's slave in Mycenae.
The frequent presence of mythological figures in paintings of the living and social environments of Roman houses actually had a social function of entertaining guests and diners, providing impulses for conversation and reflection on existence.

The Book of Three

To me, the Horned King was more creature than man. A being that instilled fear in the people. In the first book, Taran as a young boy, freezes in fear in the shadow of the Horned King. "It is not the trappings that make the prince," he said gently, "nor, indeed, the sword that makes the warrior." - Gwydion Mar. 1st. HAPPY NATIONAL PIG DAY!! To: Hen Wen, my favorite oracle pig. I freckled her little back with stars ✨

my piece for TLHoD Secret Santa 2023, organized by the inimitable Anjael! You know when you're on your way to do a radio interview and you end up walking at the back of the entourage with the alien who just showed up in your city, and he starts trying to tell you that vertebrates on his planet have evolved flight? What a day huh
