The story of a marble worker Evrard Flignot from Brussels who devastated by the death of his wife built a pretty mausoleum for her in Cimetière de Laeken.

At first look inside, there is a mourner reaching out to an empty wall. But, once a year, on the day of the summer solstice, the Sun draws a light that recalls this love for almost a century.

Terracotta vase in the form of a seated silen

Period: Late Classical

Date: 4th century B.C.

Culture: Greek, Attic

Medium: Terracotta

Dimensions: 4 7/16in. (11.3cm)

THE SEILENOI (or Sileni) were elderly rustic spirits(daimones) in the train of the god Dionysos. They were sons of the first Seilenos and the fathers of the tribes ofSatyrs and Oreiades (mountain nymphs).

The Seilenoi were depicted as fat, elderly, white-haired satyrs with horse’s tail and ears, and snub nose. They were often covered in fluffy white hair, and sometimes sported a pair of ox horns.

The twelve male guardians of the infant Dionysos known asPheres Lamioi, were probably Seilenoi.

Eos ✨ Goddess of the Dawn

Eos was the Greek goddess of the dawn, who rose each day from the east to disperse the mists of night with her light rays. She signaled the coming of Helios, her brother, to gods and mortals alike, and accompanied him on his path across the sky.

Mythology frequently represents her as abducting attractive youths - stealing them away to ravish in a distant land. Some say this is because Aphrodite cursed her with an unquenchable desire after learning that the goddess had slept with Ares.
