I will never not share this 2019 Dolce & Gabbana "Ancient Greece" show when I run across it online. Not because I'm a fan of high couture (I'm not), but because of the gorgeous interpretation of the theme (of which I *am* a fan). Enjoy. #ancientgreece

With the exception of warfare, how could states in the past act upon their disagreements? What did hostilities look like other than armies fighting? @roelkonijn shows us how #AncientGreece avoided hostilities, but could still act against opponents. @histodons

WHY IN THE WORLD IS THIS EVEN A THING?!?!?!?!?
For real now people, we need to touch some grass.
I was expecting to see some quality content when scrolling through #AncientGreece I thought I'd see some quality content, instead I saw this.
(P.S: They used to curve them quite small, since a big penis was considered a sign of low intelligence in the Anciebt Greek world.)

Here's @margaretkart's OCs, Iocaste and Kleandros-- she's a headstrong Theban courtesan, and he's an Athenian general who loves her but is filled with jealousy because of her checkered past. They're in a garden filled with roses, where they've escaped after a rowdy symposium.
Anyway, I've wanted to do a clinch sketch in a classical setting for a while, and this seemed a good opportunity. #romanceart #ancientgreece #sketch #sketchbook #historicalromance

The angle of the sun is the last hurdle Eratosthenes had to overcome with his data collection methods.
Here we review the popularly believed story -- measuring shadows of sticks -- before looking at a more likely and methodologically simpler alternative.

The review does not contain spoilers (beyond what's in the movie trailer) and I also give my thoughts on the historical context and accuracy of the film and its central MacGuffin, the fascinating Antikythera Mechanism. #histodons #movies #indianajones #dialofdestiny #ancientgreece #worldwar2

Humorism, a theory on how the body works, had been prevalent since #AncientGreece, & determined what & how much was fed to the #sick.
Doctors wanted the #food to be light, but people felt rich food would give #strength to the #weak.
Conflicts arose in hospitals. #German #physician Hufeland stated that noncompliant patient diets “killed far more people than the illness itself”.

"They embraced classical republicanism, which advocated for a balanced government structure with a focus on civic virtue, public participation, and the common good. The ideas of checks and balances, separation of powers, and the importance of a virtuous citizenry were all influenced by ancient Greek political thought."
