Palmyra - Syria Ancient city in south-central Syria, 130 miles northeast of Damascus. The name Palmyra, meaning “city of palm trees,” was conferred upon the city by its Roman rulers in the 1st Century CE; Tadmur, Tadmor, or Tudmur, the pre-Semitic name of the site, is also still in use.

“(Lament) for the mighty one my spouse who liveth no more.

_ _ _ _who liveth no more; for the mighty one who liveth no more

_ _ _ _who _ _ _ liveth no more; for the mighty one who liveth no more

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ my spouse who liveth no more

_ _ _ who liveth no more

_ _ _ _ great god of the heavenly year who liveth no more.

Lord of the lower world who liveth no more.

Lord of vegetation, artificier of the earth who liveth no more.

The shepherd, the lord, the god Tammuz who liveth no more.

The lord who giveth gifts who liveth no more.

With his heavenly spouse he liveth no more.

(The producer of) wine who liveth no more.

Lord of fruitification; the established one who liveth no more.”

- A Hymn to Dumuzi/Tammuz [Transliteration and Translation of Aramaic cuneiform Texts from the British Museum, discovered in the Royal Library of Ashurbanipal in the ancient capital city of Nineveh, Assyria (now located in modern-day outskirts of Mosul, Iraq)]

(Note: While worshippings, mythologies & cult practices of Dumuzi have been dated back to the early years of Sumerian civilization of Ancient Mesopotamia - when early humans began to settle down and develop one of the world’s first and most complex systems of agricultures, his cult were later spread to the Levant and Greece & integrated into their cultures, under the new names of “Tammuz” and “Adonis.”)

Revisiting and tried to expanding one of my drawings 2 years ago that I made of Aphrodite and her mortal lover, Adonis; with the goddess of spring and nature, fertility crops and queen of the underworld, Persephone belongs to @coloricioso. The backgrounds were based on various natural locations and ancient Greco-Roman ruins sites of Cyprus, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon; which often have sacred syncretic myths associated with Aphrodite and Adonis themselves. (Below here are the Greco Roman ruins that I took inspiration of: Baalbek/Heliopolis, Lebanon; Tadmur/Palmyra, Syria; Scythopolis/Beit She’an or Beisan, Palestine; Salamis, Cyprus)

Theatre of Palmyra

Palmyra (Tadmor), Syria

2nd century CE

The second-century CE theatre was built in the center of a semicircular colonnaded piazza which opens up to the South Gate of Palmyra. 

The seating area is ninety-two meters in diameter, but only the lowest section of twelve rows survive. It is argued that additional rows of seating would have been constructed from wood, and were therefore not preserved. The seating faces north-northeast. The stage of the theater is particularly impressive, with a beautifully decorated façade. The stage measures forty-five and a half by ten and a half meters. It features three doorways in its façade, with one additional doorway on each end. The columns on the stage are decorated with Corinthian capitals. Emperor Nero is known to have placed his statue in the niche above the main entrance of the stage. 

The 82-by-104-metre piazza was located to the south-west of the main colonnaded street. The unfinished cavea is 92 metres in diameter and consists only of an ima cavea, the lowest section of the cavea, directly surrounding the orchestra. The ima cavea is organized into eleven cunei of twelve rows each[3] and faces north-northeast towards the cardo maximus. The theatre's aditus maximi, its main entrances, are 3.5 metres in width, and lead to a stone-paved orchestra with a diameter of 23.5 metres. The orchestra is bounded by a circular wall with a diameter of 20.3 metres. 

The proscenium wall is decorated with ten curved and nine rectangular niches placed alternately. The stage measures 45.5 by 10.5 metres and is accessed by two staircases. The scaenae frons had five doors: the main entrance, or valve regia, built into a broad curved niche; two guest doors on either side of the valve regia, or valve hospitalis, built into shallow rectangular niches; and two extra doors, at either end of the stage.

The theater was harmed by Islamic Terrorist organization ISIS after being used to execute soldiers in 2016.

the billy o’ tea

soon may @allegreta @vaida​ come to bring us sugar and tea and rum

The wind blows strong this evening, and the True North’s sails swell as the ship carries on through the waters. Claude sets his sights on the waves below him, the rolling clouds above him, anything that proves actual movement and progress. If only they could travel by wyvern... the excitement he held for sea travel as a kid dried up when he sailed from Tadmur to Derdriu, stuck under the decks ‘for his protection’. The brisk, salty air calms him somewhat, but he wishes for the skies all the same.

Dinner is bland but Claude chokes it down anyways, taking small sips of water in between bites of salty cod and hardtack. The Egg, nestled in linen, sits securely in his lap. Leanne told Claude that it was hungry before they set sail, but through all of his experimentation with different food and surroundings, he hasn’t seen anything yet...

It’s just an egg. And yet...

Conversation with Kai-Marik and Cameron doesn’t go anywhere fast. His question regarding the captain receives an unsatisfactory reply—that they would meet her in the New World, whatever that means to those two. Kai-Marik’s distrust is met with a bit of his own, but Cameron thankfully turns the conversation back to the Egg.

Cameron hops up to Claude, smiling. "Don't worry 'bout party pooper o'er there! He'll warm up eventually. Maybe. Near death experience or two and we'll all be the tightest o' buds, prommy!" That is how it usually works, right? They lean in for a closer look at the egg. "Mmm... Wotcha got there?~"

“Just an egg,” Claude answers. Actually, considering Cameron is a native here... “Since I'm not from here, I have no clue who laid it... Any wisdom to share?”

Cameron giggles, looking at the egg closer, humming to themselves in thought.

"Maybe Kai-Marik did. It'd explain his sourpuss attitude, don't you think?" 

Kai-Marik about chokes on the drink he'd just taken from a small flask. Wipes his mouth before turning over with a faint glare. "Where'd you get the thing anyhow?" he questions, brow quirked.

Claude would never turn his nose up at a joke at Kai-Marik’s expense, and he laughs along with Cameron as the other man splutters. "Oh, I just found it lying around. Not in a nest or anything. I have some fond memories of hatching eggs, so..."

Kai-Marik squints, quite clearly suspicious, but doesn't say anything more at present. Cameron, meanwhile, stoops and coos at the egg. "Lying around... how lucky! I bet it hatches into a cute lil snuggly critter." They reach a hand out, but look up for permission. "Can I touch it?"

“Sure!” Claude pulls away at some of the cloth, revealing more of the Egg. This would be a good experience, right? Meeting new people... but what is he saying, this is just an egg, right? "Sure! Actually, back home, when eggs were close to hatching, we would rub against the shells to encourage them to hatch. Hatchlings making their way out of the nest would brush their scales against nearby eggs, and that would signal that it's ok to come out."

Cameron lights up, absolutely delighted with the information. "How cuuuuute! That would be so fun to see..." 

 They slowly, carefully stroke the egg until-- "Ow!" (Kai-Marik's head whips around to see.) 

 Cameron frowns. Looks at their hand. Nothing there. "It felt like it bit me... Weird." But it's just an egg.

...”Like it bit you,” Claude repeats. Alarm makes his heart race, but he has no idea what to make of it. The shell isn’t sharp, right? He runs his hand against the shell again, feeling subtle movement but no ‘bite.’ How can it bite outside of its shell? Wait, but was it even the creature in the egg?

Claude sighs, patting it one last time before he pulls the cloth over the egg again, focusing on Cameron. "I can heal your hand, if you'd like?" Not like he really knows what the hell happened, but they seemed genuinely hurt. "If nothing else, it'd help with the pain."
