“We carry what is not to be carried from below to above. We are the juices that rise secretly,  not by force, but sucked out of inertia and affixed to what is growing. We know the unknown ways and the inexplicable laws of living matter. We carry up what slumbers in the earthly; what is dead and yet enters into the living. We do this slowly and easily; what you do in vain in your human way. We complete What is impossible for you.” 

Fragment of a relief (perhaps part of the armrest of a ceremonial throne) from the island of Samothrace, depicting figures identified by inscriptions as Agamemnon, his herald Talthybius, and Epeius, builder of the Trojan Horse.  The scene is thought by some scholars to represent Agamemnon’s initiation into the mystery cult of the Cabeiri on Samothrace.  Artist unknown; ca. 560 BCE.  Now in the Louvre.

Some dumbs animation that I made, the first is a scene from a project that I made :3

Nella trama complessa e stratificata della mitologia greca, la figura di Cabiro, talvolta chiamata Cabeirò, emerge come una presenza discreta ma carica di rison

These Cabirs have a very long life... O.o

What's up?
