Pan and Syrinx

Artist: Louis Dorigny (French, 1654-1742)

Date: Unknown

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Private collection

Description

The work before us is a depiction of a mythological episode, the story of Pan and Syrinx, as told by Ovid (Metamorphoses, I: 691). The Latin poet situates the story in Arcadia, where the satyr-god sets out to pursue the nymph Syrinx, who is accustomed to "elude the satyrs chasing her, and the other sylvan deities". She flees from Pan "who thought he had her in his grasp", and as she finally reaches the river Ladon, "she begged her sisters of the water to transform her", as announced by the reeds in the foreground, symbolizing her fate and her ultimate appearance. The dynamic gesture of Pan, seizing Syrinx with one hand and parting the reeds with the other, and the close-up, di sotto in su viewing point, emphatically set the picture within a spectacular Baroque aesthetic that is typical of the artist's style. The contrast between the milky flesh of Syrinx and the tanned tonality of the satyr, whose body melds into the background from which he emerges, lends a marvellous rhythm to this pair of figures.

A Crescent City bundle of nonsense in honour of Crescent City Month! 1. Besties Bryce and Danika plotting mischief 😈 2. Halloween in Lunathion: Hunt is Jelly Jubilee (without purple wings despite Bryce's efforts), Bryce is a mermaid (to Tharion's delight), and Syrinx is Aidas, complete with royal crown. (The Prince of Hel is apparently not taking too fondly to this homage) 😾 3. Sometimes, Hunt has no choice but to smile 😆 4. Ithan's birthday! 🎉 ✨thank you for tolerating my silliness✨

Ok, so credit where credit is due in chapter 80 of House of Earth and Blood. That was a competently executed Chekhov's gun, and after he yote poor Syrinx to the Nokk, Micah fucking had it coming.

Flowers of Mythology - Lilac

Syringia, or lilacs, is a genus of 12 species of perennial woody plants that are part of the olive family, Oleaceae, native to southeastern Europe into eastern Asia and scrub and woodlands. They are trees that range from 2-10m tall with stems that can be up to 30cm in diameter. The flowers are quite small being 5-10mm in diameter, range from light purple to white, pale yellow, and pink, and come in densely packed forms known as panicles, which are complex spike-like formations. They bloom from mid spring through early summer and several of the species have a strong fragrance. While not used commercially, lilac wood is a hardwood that is good for wood turning with the outer wood being cream colored and the heartwood having streaks of purple and brown. They've been used for treating cough, diarrhea, and other abdominal complaints traditionally and modern research has shown that compounds extracted from lilac can be used to treat tumors, hypertension, inflammation, and certain fungal infections.

In Greece, Pan, the god of the wild and nature, was wandering through a woodland and found Syrinx, a beautiful and chaste nymph who was minding her who business. He fell immediately in burning lust with her and began to pursue her. She fled from him and since, like most Greek gods of myth, he couldn't take a hint, he chased her. She approached a river and called out to the Potamides, river nymphs, to help her get away and they turned her into lilac. Pan, again like most Greek gods, didn't take rejection well at all. He continued to seek her, sensing her around the plant. He seized stems of the lilac and fashioned his eponymous flute of the stems. (Some versions claim she was turned into cattails.) Syringia is the Latinized version of her name.

Where Kings are King 6U8A5176 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: The glow of a rising sun bathes a King Penguin in an auburn aura. Having just waddled out of the ocean, the bird stretches and shakes the glistening drops of brine from its feathers. It’s the start of a new day on Volunteer Beach in the Falklands where King Penguins reign.
