@dalmatae708891 @histories_arch Homer said Helen was blond. Greeks are of Caucasian origin. Even the native pre-Greek Pelasgians were not African. I have a deep respect for all cultures and races, but I don't see why we need to be untruthful about history.

Greek Terracotta Statuette of the Goddess Aphrodite emerging from a Seashell (4th century BC)...

The Hellenic Goddess Aphrodite kneels before a scallop shell, which is an econographic reference to her sea-born origin. She wears a necklace, bracelets and melon coiffure with krobylos (ancient hair knot). Her right hand holds a phiale (libation bowl).

The ground plate and hourglass pedestal were wheel-made, whole ornaments and vessels were hand-applied.

In Hellenic mythology, Aphrodite was the Goddess of beauty, desire, sexuality, marriage pleasures and fertility. She inspired passion between both Gods and mortals. She shaped the myths of Paris, Helen of Sparta, Medea, Adonis, Psyche, Pygmalion and An hides, among many others.

@SophiaCycles I think this is 100% my conclusion so far.

@guilherme94jose Depending on the date of original publication, a potentially poisonous statement.

Wisdom from Lord Byron (b otd 1788):
“All who joy would win
Must share it -- Happiness was born a twin.”
“Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.”
“Tis strange - but true; for Truth is always strange,
Stranger than Fiction”

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

“This is true happiness: to have no ambition and to work like a horse as if you had every ambition. To live far from men, not to need them and yet to love them. To have the stars above, the land to your left and the sea to your right and to realize all of a sudden that in your heart, life has accomplished its final miracle: it has become a fairy tale.”

—Nikos Kazantzakis

@QuoteNietzsche Nietzsche: not wanting to know what faith is

[Byron Gaist @GaistByron]

@SchopenhauerNow Control is impossible. Freedom despite limitations is possible.

[Byron Gaist @GaistByron]

@QuoteNietzsche I used to think about this issue, but nowadays I feel the question is not whether values can be created without divine authority, but which divine authority governs the values we inevitably do create.
