. The ancient Greeks believed there were seven types of love. These included different types for platonic love (philia), familial love (storge), unconditional love (agape), enduring love (pragma), passionate love (eros), self-love (philautia), and playful love (ludus). Each one described a different way that you might feel about someone and defined what those different types of love mean. There are different levels of emotional connections entwined throughout these types of love, and they may occur over a long period or a short one. It all depends on the individual. -Our English word love is derived from an ancient Sanskrit word in India meaning “desire.” -Engagement rings are put on the forth finger on the left hand because people in ancient Greece though that a vein in that finger traveled straight to the heart. -In the modern day, social psychology considers there to be five different love languages. These languages, popularized by a book by Gary Chapman, discuss different ways that people feel loved and show love. These include acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, and gift giving. #facts #love #oldhabitstattoo (at Old Habits Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CizVDTNLkHt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Penelope was the famous queen of Ithaca in Greek mythology, for Penelope was the wife of the Greek hero Odysseus. Penelope has also been highlighted as the most faithful of wives, as it was said that Penelope waited 20 years for her husband to return to her, despite countless suitors pestering her to decide on one of them . Eventually Odysseus returned to Ithaca after many trials and tribulations, and although his return was known to his son, the king visited his own palace in the disguise of a beggar. After 20 years of separation, Penelope did not recognise her own husband, but the tales that the beggar told of his encounter with Odysseus, heartened her after years of sorrow. The next day it seemed to the suitors that Penelope was finally prepared to make a decision, for the Queen of Ithaca declared that whoever could string the bow of Odysseus would be her new husband. It was a test of strength, but when presented with the bow, suitor after suitor failed to string it, but suddenly the bow was in the hands of the beggar, and with one easy movement the bow was strung, and shortly afterwards arrows were being unleashed by the disguised Odysseus. Thus, all of the Suitors of Penelope were slaughtered by Odysseus and Telemachus. Odysseus then revealed himself to Penelope, although Penelope initially refused to believe that her husband had at last returned home, but she was finally convinced when details of their marital bed were revealed. #penelope #odysseus #iliad (at Brooklyn Navy Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cic_eCAOBK5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word ‘sofa’ originates in the eastern Mediterranean with the Arabic soffah, which is ‘a part of the floor raised a foot or two, covered with rich carpets and cushions, and used for sitting upon’. In 1625, Samuel Purchas was the first person to write about a sofa, which he noted during his travels to Arabia, calling it a ‘sofa’, whilst in 1637 Sir George Courthop described a ‘sopha’ as a place raised about a foot to sit on. The difference between a sofa, a settee and a couch A sofa is defined as an upholstered bench or seat featuring arms and a back, allowing people to sit comfortably. This is the most common word used nowadays to describe the comfy piece of furniture we all relax on in the living room. The couch originated in French interior design in the 17th century, and consisted of a lounge seat with supports at both ends, but with no back support, unlike a sofa as we know it today. Instead, a couch was very similar to a traditional daybed or chaise longue. The name likely came from the french word coucher, meaning to sleep. The word couch is still widely used across the USA to describe a sofa. The settee originated in the Middle Ages, and whilst it had a design more similar to the sofa as we know it, was typically made from wood, and typically featuring an elegant and intricately carved back. #facts #sofa #couch #setee #oldhabitstattoo (at Midway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiaUuhYjWtA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Ships that pass in the night, and speak [to] each other in passing, Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.” The idiom at least over 150 years old. It is written in Tales of a Wayside Inn, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1863. [email protected] #oldhabitstattoo #shipsinthenight https://www.instagram.com/p/CiIdLAgDPbE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh, how we take the humble chair for granted… It has for centuries been the mark of status and power. 1. The oldest known chairs were dug up in Egypt and dated back to 3000 B.C. They were used for ceremonial purposes. 2. Chairs came into common use only around the 16th century. We sat on stools or stones before that. 3. The word ‘chair’ is derived from ‘cathedra’, a Latin word from words meaning ‘sit’ and ‘down’. 4. A ‘cathedral’ was called a ‘cathedral’ because it was seen as the seat or chair of a bishop. 5. No mention of chairs is made in the Bible, though Shakespeare mentioned them eight times in Henry VI Part III alone. #facts #chair #foottattoo #oldhabitstattoo (at Old Habits Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2AF-MjAFm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
