Fox and the grapes

One afternoon a fox was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from over a lofty branch. Just the thing to quench my thirst," quoted the fox. Taking a few steps back, the fox jumped and just missed the hanging grapes. Again the fox took a few paces back and tried to reach them but still failed. Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said,

"They're probably sour anyway," and proceeded to walk away.

A greek chalcidian styled helmet worn by an Etruscan, found near the greek Harbour City of Elea (Roman Velia), Campania, South Italy. Between 541-535 BCE

During this battle, which probably took place between 541-535, a fleet of Phocaean ships - who had founded a colony, Alalia, on the island of Corsica - entered the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea to repel attacks from neighbouring Etruscan and Carthaginian forces. Although the Greeks emerged victorious, the costly naval battle eventually caused the Phocaean colonists to abandon Alalia, leaving it to the Etruscans, and establish a colony closer to other Greek settlements along the southern coast of Italy.

The Phocaean settlers sailed to the mainland and acquired a piece of land that would later become Velia. To prevent the Greeks from establishing more settlements in Sicily, Corsica and Spain and from expanding further, the Carthaginians established a naval blockade and the Etruscans tried to drive the Greeks out in several battles, which they lost.

The conflicts between Carthaginian and Greek cities in Sicily eventually led to the Greek-Punic Wars in the 5th- 4th century BC.

country bumpkin merlin not knowing anything about city life and accidentally courting arthur without knowing

merlin, watching gwen give lancelot her favor: why do you do that

gwen, heart eyes at lance and not paying that much attention to the conversation: so he knows i’m rooting for him

merlin, with an Idea: ah.

gwaine, lover of chaos, pisser offer of nobles and royals alike, ultimate wingman: merlin…you have such lonely lips. shall i introduce them to mine?

merlin, unaware of the game gwaine is playing: so you can steal my breath away? i think not, scoundrel

arthur, crushing his goblet in his hand:

merlin: arthur’s been in a bad mood recently :( i should cheer him up

merlin, remembering when arthur was put out when merlin brought morgana flowers and not him: i know just the thing

merlin, bringing a bouquet of carnations, roses, and tulips and setting them on arthur’s table while he’s eating breakfast: good morning, sire

arthur, trained on flower language in hopes that one day when he was to take a queen he could woo her easily, trying not to audibly choke on his sausage as he reads merlin’s declaration of love sitting in front of him:

arthur, who recently found out about merlin’s magic and was trying to find a way to bring it up, catching him in the act and watching merlin panic to explain himself:

merlin, Freaking: and i swear to you arthur, i have only ever used it for you. my magic is yours. my life is yours. i am yours. i would never do anything to harm you. i have protected you for years and will continue to do so at your side if you’ll have me

arthur, already believing them to be courting, desperately trying to figure out if that was a proposal for marriage or not but tired of being confused and deciding fuck it: here.

merlin, taking it: i…uh…huh?

arthur, watching merlin with hawk eyes and trying to figure out what he’s thinking and feeling: it’s my mothers sigil

merlin, confused as FUCK but is focusing on the fact that arthur is handing him something of his mother rather than a death sentence: my…my lord?

arthur, realizing how scared merlin’s must be about him finding out about his magic and trying to comfort him while also proposing, killing two birds with one stone: i will always keep you at my side, merlin, so long as we both shall live. if you’ll allow me.

merlin, almost collapsing with relief and tearing up, smiling at arthur as if he had parted the storm clouds to allow sun to shine down on them in that moment: of course…of course, arthur. always and forever.

merlin, watching the castle staff rush this way and that: wow. this banquet must be incredibly important

sir leon the long suffering, day one ride or die, one of the original merthur shippers: banquet? merlin, this is for your wedding

merlin, overworked and exhausted: my WHAT? to WHO??

leon, regretting everything he’s ever done in his life that led him to this moment: to…arthur?

merlin, over joyed but also absolutely befuddled: i’m getting married to ARTHUR?????

leon: you two have been courting for the past year or so, have you not?

merlin: i’ve been COURTING ARTHUR?????? FOR A YEAR?????????

#merthur #i spent like an hour researching medieval courting rituals to make this #and even then #i did not find much #so if there’s someone out there who is like weirdly knowledgeable about 6th century courting rituals #feel free to add on #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin emrys #sir gwaine #sir leon #sir lancelot #guinevere #i literally started this post bc i was thinking about the misunderstanding between merlin and gwen and merlin’s giving arthur his favor #and then i kept going #but i didn’t have much else in the ole noggin to write #i’m sorry #please forgive me

Corinthian Helmet of the Early Third Type 3rd quarter of the 6th century BC

The skull is set-off distinctly from the wall of the helmet. The pair of stylised eyebrows above the eye cut-outs converge above the nose. The raised rim which frames the brows continues downwards to form a central ridge on the lance-shaped nose-guard. small, closely spaced drill holes, some still with the remains of decorative rivets, adorn the edge cut-outs. The neck-guard curves outwards and is set off from the cheek-pieces. H. 21 cm.

honestly, the more i learn about ancient history and the origins of things that we take for granted, the more i realize that we actually know nothing about why the world is the way it is bc like 90% of the evidence has been ~lost to history~

#this comes from me reading mary beard's spqr and she's talking about the origin of the 12 month calendar #it's attributed to some legendary roman king from from like the 5th or 6th century bce #except there's questionable evidence that he actually existed #same thing with the whole concept of a ''census'' #oh and like wide swaths of the structure of the catholic church bc a lot of it is based on the og roman state religion #fucking crazy man #history #text

i think the core of what i dislike about most of these arguments made mostly by white neopagans who want to feel oppressed about how xtianity ‘stole’ such and such a thing, or whatever, is the assumption that mingling between cultural groups, and cultural change, is inherently a violent process, and the adoption of newer practises or the modification of older ones is a distortion of the True, Authentic Culture. that is a classic reactionary viewpoint, you get that, right....? we r talking about things that happened ~1000 years before the origins of modern imperialism. the christianisation of europe was largely voluntary. your AnCesTorS gradually received new practises via trickle-down from their ruling class and gradually incorporated it with their existing traditions and belief systems. that isnt cultural appropriation, and its certainly nothing like colonisation and cultural genocide

#not that interactions in the past were never violent or co-erced but like #you can NOT be talking about the <6th century christianisation of europe #thru the same lense as the christianisation via imperialism of colonised ppl in the 16th century to the present #like.........................................you must know thats not the same #i hate when i have to do this bc its not that there werent a ton of problems w the early church #but its like white neopagans have such a hard on for likening this to the role missionaries played in imperalism #and like it just isnt the same and its sooo insulting and awful #so like im taking away that nuance #until u stop comparing it to what the modern church did and still does 2 indigenous ppl #but what im specifically talking abt here is like #the misattribution of pre-xtian traditions #found among xtians today #as like... Cultural Appropriation of Pagans or something #like okay but they appropriated themselves #so idk how that works
