#greek #mythology #muse #tragedy
By Joseph Fagnani
Metropolitan Museum of Art. New York City, N.Y. USA.
1869
In Greek mythology, Melpomene - 'to sing' or 'the one that is melodious') is the Muse of Tragedy in Greek mythology. She is described as the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne (and therefore of power and memory) along with the other Muses, she is often portrayed with a tragic theatrical mask.
Etymology
- Melpomene's name (implying the meaning "Songstress" is derived by etymologists from the Ancient Greek verb μέλπω (melpô) or from its inflexion μέλπομαι (melpomai) meaning "to celebrate with dance and song". The Oxford English Dictionary cites μέλπειν (melpein – to sing). She sings at the funeral of poets.

Μόλις ψάχνει κάθε εικόνα,
κάθε ιδέα, τα παρατά,
γιατί πάει όπου μιαν έγνοια
ωκεάνια τον τραβά
να βυθίσει μια για πάντα
τ’ αβυσσόθρεφτα φτερά.

PANDORA'S BOX
John William Waterhouse
1896

- Something that creates a lot of new problems that you did not expect:
- The god Prometheus stole fire from heaven to give to the human race, which originally consisted only of men. To punish humanity, the other gods created the first woman, the beautiful Pandora. As a gift, Zeus gave her a box, which she was told never to open. However, as soon as he was out of sight she took off the lid, and out swarmed all the troubles of the world, never to be recaptured. Only Hope was left in the box, stuck under the lid. Anything that looks ordinary but may produce unpredictable harmful results can thus be called a Pandora's Box.

#Luke 23:34: “Then said Jesus, Father, #forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”

Psalms 78:38: “But he, [being] full of #compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.”

1John 1:7 But if we walk in the #light, as he is in the light, we have #fellowship one with another, and the blood of #Jesus #Christ his Son #cleanseth us from all #sin.

#Psalms 51:7: “Purge me with #hyssop, and I shall be #clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than #snow.”

The word in #Greek for #forgiveness is #aphes which means to send away, leave alone, depart or release and pardon.

The word in #Aramaic is #shavaq which is the word used for divorce, the ending of a marriage as well as pardon.

In #Hebrew, the word for forgiveness is #chaphar which means to cover up or cover over and pardon.

#All these words have the idea of a pardon. In a sense what Jesus was saying when He said: “Father forgive them” was that he was granting them a pardon.

#hesta #greek #goddess #art
Goddess of the Hearth, Home and Family.

Hestia holds in her hand a branch of the Chaste Tree, and in her open hand a hearth flame of home.

Chaste Tree ~Also known as chasteberry, cloister pepper, and monk's pepper
Zeus assigned Hestia a duty to feed and maintain the fires of the Olympian hearth with the fatty, combustible portions of animal sacrifices to the gods. Wherever food was cooked, or an offering was burnt, she thus had her share of honor; also, in all the temples of the gods, she has a share of honor. "Among all mortals she was chief of the goddesses". The first and the last.
Virgin Goddess
- The gods Poseidon and Apollo (her brother and nephew respectively) both fell in love with Hestia and vied for her hand in marriage. But Hestia would have neither of them, and went to Zeus instead, and swore a great oath, that she would remain a virgin for all time and never marry. In the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, Aphrodite is described as having "no power" over Hestia.

I woke up with a song ~ but there was a dream. I was making Egglant Parmesan.
Oh. Yes. I must get up and continue with my days of Hestia, preparing fresh vegetables and fruit for Winter food storage.
Today is yellow squash, onions, eggplant, mushrooms, celery, carrots and blackberries.
Yesterday I finished with cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, strawberries, green beans and tomatoes.

Observers report that today, October 9, 2023, during the Air Raids by the IDF, #Israel has reportedly bombed the #Greek #Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius in #Gaza, which was built at 425 AD (Anno Domini) and then consecrated by the #Catholic #Crusaders in 1150

According to such reports, it has been almost fully destroyed. Saint Porphyrius was the largest church in Gaza.

If true, the Third Oldest Christian Temple in all world was just wiped off the map
