Long, sunny, beautiful days like this always remind me of these lines from Milton:

“from Morn
To Noon he fell, from Noon to dewy Eve,
A Summers day; and with the setting Sun
Dropt from the Zenith like a falling Star”

But so many things remind me of Milton and make me quote him.

The lines here link the devil Mulciber with Hephaestus, who fell on Lemnos thrown by Zeus in the Iliad.

@kattsdogma 🥥 Thank YOU, Katts, for this surprise dive into the joke-making process.
I was under the mistaken impression that witticisms were supposed to spring forth fully formed from the head of the #comedy writer. You know, like goddesses from the head of #Zeus.
You make it sound more likely that they are shaped over time with muscles, heat, and banging in the god #Hephaestus's forge. 🥥

but the power that provides unification is foreign to the one who presides over the division and opposition of encosmic things [Ares]. So it is this cooperation of dissimilar causes that the myths have referred to as adultery." Proclus, Commentary on the Republic 141f. (2/2)

I like this from Proclus as it works as a continuation of #Empedocles idea of the Cosmos sustained by Love/Strife

"Both require Aphrodite for their own activity: Ares so that he can implant harmony and order among the opposites, Hephaestus so that he can produce in perceptible creations beauty and splendour because communion with the cause which produces beauty and binds together belongs by nature to the demiurge of perceptible things [Hephaestus], (1/2)
