I don't understand why either of those characters would hold achilles or Patroclus like that. After reading the odyssey I would sooner assume it was achilles holding patroclus after his wound to the back. kalib k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14980679076656036369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962226729961496148.post-42621973937856339072022-10-31T14:00:21.450-07:002022-10-31T14:00:21.450-07:00As for the griffins guarding the gold, it can also...As for the griffins guarding the gold, it can also mean some people of Southern Siberia. For example, in the burials of the Pazyrytsky culture of mountain Altai, we meet warriors in clothes embroidered with golden griffins, in helmets crowned with a griffin's head, on horses hung with wooden painted images of griffins, which could be perceived by opponents as "gold-guarding griffins".Gutta Solishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910862338479931338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962226729961496148.post-76962433074321785732022-08-21T04:57:06.007-07:002022-08-21T04:57:06.007-07:00La beauté ne nous appartient pas ; elle nous diffè...La beauté ne nous appartient pas ; elle nous diffèreAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767068041578026224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962226729961496148.post-74028709245228457702021-10-09T16:19:16.022-07:002021-10-09T16:19:16.022-07:00Thanks for sharing this!

Your blog gives me a lot of happy reading, but I never told of my appreciation. Keep up the good work, and may you always find work within this field that is so fascinating, but also so heard to sustain a life within.

As you pointed out the give away is the ears. As well, Homa has the paws of a lion and not talons of an eagle and that's another give away. There are also horned versions of Homa in the Oxus Treasure.

The 17.5 cm steatite statue is now on display at the National Museum in Karachi, Pakistan.<br /><br />I also found this statue of a goddess from Mohenjo-Daro that appears to be wearing a diadem. As she is much more primitive than the priest king statue, I assume she is much older although a date is not given in English.<br /><br /><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:One_the_godeses.jpg" rel="nofollow">goddess</a>Mary Harrschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633294684938244273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962226729961496148.post-84196999526873700942020-12-16T19:47:47.416-08:002020-12-16T19:47:47.416-08:00Hi!
