Set in Alexandria, the novel tells the story of Chrysis, a courtesan, and the sculptor Démétrios. A Galilaean with long golden hair (source of her Greek nickname), Chrysis is proud of her beauty and her skill at winning the devotion and servility of men.
Démétrios, for his part, is worshipped by the women of the town, but has grown tired of their devotion. He has come to prefer his statue of the goddess Aphrodite even to his lover, Queen Bérénice, who posed for it. Chrysis is the only woman who does not care for him.

The satyrs pursue in the woods
The light-footed oreads.
They chase the nymphs upon the mountains,
They fill their eyes with affright,
They seize their hair in the wind,
They grasp their breasts in the chase,
And throw their warm bodies backwards
Upon the green dew-covered moss,
And the beautiful bodies, their beautiful bodies half divine,
Writhe with the agony . . .
O women! Eros makes your lips cry aloud
With dolorous, sweet Desire.

-- in Ancient Manners: Also Known As Aphrodite by Pierre Louÿs, Ch. II - The Quay at Alexandria

#Venus and #Jupiter are currently visible low in the #western #sky and will set almost exactly due #west in a few minutes' time. They make a nice pair up there. By coincidence, in the place I've got to in the #Iliad, #Aphrodite and #Zeus have been having a bit of a confrontation.

Tata tout le Monde !

Je suis #nouveauici, enfin sur ce pod.
En fait, ça fait quelques années que je suis sur #Diaspora.
La fin annoncée de #framasphère a précipité ma décision de créer un nouveau compte. J'en ouvrirais sans doute un autre par la suite, sur un autre serveur, si la possibilité m'est donné de transférer mon ancien compte #enjomineur.
Reste plus qu'à transférer mes anciens contacts sur mon compte #D3 tout neuf.
Merci clouclou2@diaspora.psyco.fr pour l'invitation. (Désolé, je ne sais pas encore comment fonctionne les mentions sur #Psyco)
A bientôt !
