Depends what you want to read for. I'm sure it friends on the translation, but I remember Apollodorus reading like a dull Wikipedia article more often than not. As an intro to Greek lot or mythology, I'd suggest any book of collected sources before any one author.

Just don't go Bulfinch and you'll be fine

I've always found flagellation to be a powerful testament to faith, and specifically to the awe of God. To see it performed en masse and for it to capture the attention of an entire city, seems to me to be a living expression of God.

The pointing one would be leading the crowd through the city and the other is most likely reciting from the Bible.

Currently reading Mason & Dixon and It's quickly becoming my favorite novel, though I'll have to see in retrospective after I finish it. So far I'd have to go with either The Trial or Blood Meridian.

Dutch Proverbs is such a neat painting. Every little thing in the pic refers to an actual contemporary proverb, and it's fun to go through them all and try to see which are similar to ones we still use.

I had to do a gay little project on it for an undergrad history class.

>The Dog
>a painting done on the walls of a house by an isolated, nihilistic, deaf man raging against the world

the background alone makes me feel like the Dog is in pain or dying and looking towards the sky for a reason why it must suffer.

It's my all-time favorite painting too.

Book is probably Ulysses
