And a life without concerns.
The pleasure in this school stems from a negative viewpoint rather than positive: the avoidance of pain rather than hedonism. This difference is often misunderstood in Epicureanism.

Sorry. I did not intend to come across as rude by any stretch of the imagination. Just to save you time and effort, in that you will not find its meaning in the empirical (e.g. culinary habits in the Mediterranean). That is it.

A similar frog semiotics is featured in Aristophanes and ps.-Homer.

You are missing entirely the esoteric element in Lucian's works.

Indeed. Social media can be poison for the mind if one is not careful with engagement and can not unread what has been read. Works best for me then to focus on a pastime.

...so now we're into uncomfortable behaviour being legislated also? Just what else does the FIA president wish to command and conquer...?

Pitiful indeed.

Welcoming a year of challenging the FIA, certainly. Odds are off as to who will be brave enough to do it.

"Unexpected"...?

Pythagoras would like to have a word here.

Always look forward to your wonderful posts.

Beautiful.

Not forgetting, too, the rhetorical device of the mythical "Thracian slave".

Now, if only Greek classics would be correctly exegesized—the delusion of ascribing them politics or gender studies.

Mastery over desires. The liver, the mountain, the eagle, and then Hercules.

The ancients would see it as ominous.

Classes every day. Including weekends.

Endearing and fascinating subject, isn't it. I, too, doubt such an analysis as a chthonic image would be out of place in a garden. I'm inclined to parse Ovid and the myth of the creation of the Hermaphrodite: it involves Hermes and Aphrodite—and thence their Muses in the mural would be cogent.

Very likely that the 'Samaritans' here are used as an image: representing a spiritual or ideological opposition, and his deliverance symbolizing the divine protection of Paul in the face of adversity.

Euterpe and Erato accompanying Hermes, my reasoning.

It is most definitely a mesmerising field.

(I love Plotinus and Proclus myself.)

...though if a given class of henads shares at least a monad and a given being participates of this monad, would it not follow that the being would participate equally of this class of henads?
