Si quieres que tu texto no despiste y evitar de zopenco ser tachado, un consejo te doy, y es regalado, sobre un signo que a ti se te resiste. Si escribes «sí señor», tengo motivo –como si es «hola Quique» o «come niño»– para intuir tu falta de cariño a la coma que ronda al vocativo. «No hay pausa –desde el fondo algunos braman– que al hablar esa coma justifique». Errado el argumento, aunque se afanan. El niño y el señor y el propio Quique son eso, vocativos, y reclaman la coma obligatoria que lo indique.

A winged Nike flies with a ribbon towards a tripod. Both are symbols of victory: Nike means “victory” in Greek, and tripods were regularly given as prizes at games or were set up to commemorate victories in battle. This tripod appears to belong to the latter, and the vase may well have been made to commemorate the successful outcome of a battle.⁠ ⁠ The garments here recall those being worn by participants in the Panathenaic procession shown on the Parthenon frieze which was carved in the 440s.⁠
