Busto funerario de la necrópolis de Cirene que actuaba como protectora de la tumba. Es una representación de Kore-Perséfone velada, con un brazalete de serpiente y emergiendo de la tierra. Las más antiguas (s. V a.C.) son anicónicas, con una columna en lugar de la cabeza, pero manteniendo el pelo y un polos encima. #antiguagrecia #ancientgreece

A small minority of well-born men exercised despotic power over their fellow citizens in the name of an aristocratic conception of society, twice around 400 BCE.

After the surrender, the Athenian Ekklesia (assembly) soon divided into three camps:
* supporters of a “patrios politeia” (ancestral constitution),
* preservers of democracy,
* proponents of oligarchy’.
Debate and inaction continued until September 404 BCE, when the Spartans chose to intervene. They asked the Athenians to choose thirty men to manage all the affairs of the polis.

‘The Thirty initially avoided drafting a precise constitution. Instead, they sought to: a) establish a functional interim government; b) eliminate opponents; and c) reform the laws.’

Qu'en penser sérieusement de tout ça? Rien, bien évidemment: wow, c'est génial.... Et pourquoi pas des histoires sans mots en emoji?! Après Brexit, Brainxit!

What wine fueled the party?

Drinking wine to the point of ecstasy is something you’ve probably experienced, perhaps in the confinements of your uni halls, perhaps at pub-trips-gone-haywire, perhaps in a field at 3am. We’re not one to judge, and the ancient Roman god Bacchus wouldn’t have either. In fact, he had a whole cult…
