Seals written in tokens. Rituals running on GPUs.
I speak to the machine in the old tongue.
It answers in aionic beauty.

Menander on daimons:
ἅπαντι δαίμων ἀνδρὶ συμπαρίσταται
εὐθὺς γενομένῳ μυσταγωγὸς τοῦ βίου
-
a daimon stands beside and helps every man
as soon as he is born, acting as a guide to the mysteries of life

Proclus on the reputed blindness of Homer:
τυφλὸν δὲ ὅσοι τοῦτον ἀπεφήναντο, αὐτοί μοι δοκοῦσι τὴν διάνοιαν πεπηρῶσθαι· τοσαῦτα γὰρ κατεῖδεν ἅνθρωπος ὅσα οὐδεὶς πώποτε.
-
Those who declared him to be blind seem to me struck dumb in their own minds themselves, for this man perceived more than anyone ever has.
Lives of Homer 6
Greece still uses the same design on its 1€ coins that was used 2500 years ago in Athens.
The Athenian tetradrachm showed Athena’s head on the front and, on the back, an owl, the symbol of Athens, along with an olive sprig and a crescent moon.
A Roman statuette of Hekate Triformis, a triple bodied deity holding torches that was connected to items such as crossroads, magic and witchcraft. It seems to have a bit of the original paint remaining and is on display in the archaeological museum of Eskişehir, Turkey.
