Cirò Marina, Calabria, Italy

Cirò Marina is a seaside town on the Ionian coast of Calabria. This is the wine-producing area of the region, with a tradition in wine-making that stretches back over a thousand years.

Cirò Marina is an old land, inhabited in the distant past by Greek settlers who probably arrived there between the 7th and 6th centuries BC and founded the town of Krimisa.

This Greek colony was also known because of the Temple of Apollo Aleus on the promontory of Punta Alice. The best-known finding which emerged from the archaeological excavations consists of some parts of the acrolith of Apollo Aleo, namely the head, both feet and part of the hand, today exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria.

Other important discoveries which are now preserved at the Civic Museum of Cirò Marina, are a simulacrum of Demeter and a clay figurine representing Demeter as well. The first one is a bust in terracotta, dating back to the 3rd century BC. In the second one, the goddess is depicted with a torch and a little pig. The torch symbolizes Demeter's search for her daughter Kore/Persephone, kidnapped by the God of the Underworld and down there, in the dark, searched by her desperate mother. The fire of the torch burns and purifies. Combined with the little pig, it speaks of pig sacrifices that were held on numerous ritual occasions dedicated to the goddess, as often demonstrated by the discovery of butchered bones in sanctuaries in pits, interpreted as remains of ritual meals and sacrifices to the goddess.

In Ancient Greece the sacrifice of pigs to ensure the fertility of the land was a widespread practice. During the Thesmophoria festivals (ancient Greek: Θεσμοφόρια), purely female festivals dedicated to Demeter, the slaughtered pigs were thrown into pits, then the recovered remains were scattered on the fields.

Do you think stewy would want to have an official romantic relationship with kendall?

ive mentioned this before but i think with kendall and stewys history, its hard to define what an ‘official romantic relationship with kendall’ even looks like or means, and i dont think either of them are interested in defining it so starkly, because of their history and of course because of the implications.

i think stewy ultimately just wants kendall in his life, consistently and forever. he always come back and he always get himself involved and he always refuses to let kendall go, even when it makes sense, because he cares about him and loves him and likes him. at the end of the day, they’re best friends, regardless of whatever extracurriculars are implied in that relationship.

but on a less serious note, i think more than wanting to have an official romantic relationship with kendall i think the part of stewy thats in love with kendall and has always been afraid that he’d lose him would be very interested in something legally binding that means he can keep kendall forever, not necessarily in a romantic way but i think stewy would absolutely sign a marriage certificate with similar intentions to microchipping your pet

#this was hard because ive got tsd lens on rn #and my first instinct is ‘yes stewy wants to have a beautiful sunset wedding in an italian vineyard where they release doves’#which i dont think works for what they have contextually in the show #kenstewy #ask #anon #m

Quin puerto rican confirmed?

Partially :D on my dad’s side

I was raised American though

#by that I mean #my dad never taught us any Spanish #or did any stuff from the culture with us #which is sad :(#but yknow #alcohol goes beyond cultures and can be enjoyed by all #my mom didn’t really engage us with Italian culture either #like I have a whole family in Italy I’ve never met and can’t communicate with well cuz their English isn’t great and I don’t know Italian #they have a vineyard and make wines tho that’s kinda cool #maybe I should try to visit them one day

Play Zin for me

My days on the Zinfandel stump are long over, but I do occasionally dip into one. I search them out FAR more carefullyer than I did 20 or 30 years ago, and I will take the high road and say my palate has matured–though those in the back rows know the better wines have become fewer and far between. Paso Robles is the Mecca of bad Zin, but there are bright spots–still. Producers striving for…
