"There are countless characteristics of Dionysos for those who wish to represent him in painting or sculpture, by depicting which even approximately the artist has captured the god. For instance, the ivy clusters forming a crown are the clear mark of Dionysus, even if the workmanship is poor; and a horn just springing from the temples reveals Dionysus, and a leopard, though but just visible, is a symbol of the god;" - Philostratus, Imagines 1.15 (Greek rhetorician C3rd A.D.)

Happy Trans Day everyone! May you all be blessed and feel comfortable in your own skin. Today we celebrate the joy and beauty of being ourselves 💜🏳️‍⚧️

To the left of Aurora and Cephalus is a reclining river god, probably Oceanus, and beside him is the winged horse Pegasus. The background figure wearing a wreath of corn and holding flowers could be Terra, a goddess associated with the awakening earth. The faint outline of the sun god Apollo in his chariot can be seen in the vivid orange sky.

— Franz von Stuck, 1891
