“True friends share everything, except the past before they met.”

― Mary Renault, Fire from Heaven

*Redid my old (not really old, they’re from last year🙄) illustrations on the historical novel “Fire from heaven” which follows a journey of Alexander the Great through childhood to the very end.

Fitz Vacker and Alexander The Great Aesthetic because the both of them have been living rent free in my mind

O my son, carve out a kingdom equal to and worthy of yourself, for Macedonia is too small for you.

"I am burdened with glorious purpose."

Our questions are all the same. Identical words; how they feel brand new against different time frames. Identical words against different time frames.

Glory crowns the deeds of those who expose themselves to toils and dangers.

What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense I know I'm intense and controlling But you need to learn how to cope with it, that's just the way that it is If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in It's comfortable here and I like it I got my own room and everything, it don't get better than this

Why so much grief for me? No man will hurl me down to Death, against my fate. And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you - it’s born with us the day that we are born.

Loathe the way they light candles in Rome But love the sweet air of the votives

They're both mad, I tell you, the two of them. One's just shown it, the other's been that way since she was born.

Throw yourself into the unknown With pace and a fury defiant Clothe yourself in beauty untold And see life as a means to a triumph

Tell me the news, again, whatever it is... sorrow and I are hardly strangers. I can bear the worst.

A tomb now suffices him for whom the world was not enough.

“I had found my religion: nothing seemed more important to me than a book. I saw the library as a temple.”

The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus in Greece is a remarkable testament to ancient Greek artistic prowess and classical architecture. Built in the 4th century BCE, this meticulously designed amphitheater features exceptional acoustics, allowing even faint whispers to be heard from the highest seats. It was primarily used for Greek tragedies and comedies, highlighting the cultural significance of theater in ancient times.
