revising old biology notes ft. this gorgeous plant textbook and a greek bust of poseidon! my summer plans are coming together and i’m excited! it looks like i’ll be having a busy july and i’m really looking forward to it.

on a separate topic: i know that the covid-19 pandemic is scary for a lot of people. there is panic and racism and uncertainty, but despite it all, there has also been a lot of caring. please remember to be kind to yourselves and each other ♡

Women of Amphissa, 1887, by Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912).

Here Lawrence Alma-Tadema depicts a scene from a story told by Plutarch. The women sprawled on the ground are followers of Dionysus, the God of wine, and are seen recovering from a dancing ritual from the night before. These women originated from the city of Phocis, and had wandered into the marketplace of Amphissa. These two cities, however, were at war. The group lined at the back, clearly separated from their way of dress and posture, belong to Amphissa. Recognizing the danger the disoriented followers were in, the women of Amphissa form a circle around them, offering their protection and giving them food.

By representing these two very different groups of women, Alma-Tadema touches on the themes of femininity, compassion, and charity.

“I don’t think we’re born with a natural tendency to protect the environment. I think it’s something we learn if we’re educated and brought up to have the manners to care for the world. At some stage in our lives, the greed factor became stronger, and that has led us to the horrible situation we’re in now. A CHANGE IS NECESSARY, and I believe my films convey that.“ - Hayao Miyazaki
