nisus being arisbe’s son makes the family tree so much more complicated
like what the fuck do you mean he was a half brother of the guy that prophesied paris’ destruction of troy and turned into a seabird and what the fuck do you mean he could’ve been ascanius’ uncle and what the fuck do you mean that cyzicus from the argonautica was his uncle what
the fact that aesacus was taught by his maternal grandfather (aka the one he shared with nisus) merops how to interpret dreams?? do you think he taught arisbe’s sons by hyrtacus too
and yeah i do imagine him to see priam’s children as older siblings and/or family friends despite arisbe and priam still being super awkward around each other
Has cool Cyzicus, where the isthmus streams with wave of Propontis, and the goddess of Dindymus and Cybelle fashioned from carven tusks and the path trodden by the steeds of Dis the ravisher, have all these pleased thee for so many years, my Tullus? (Propertius, Elegies, 3.22)
Frigida tam multos placuit tibi Cyzicus annos, Tulle, Propontiaca qua fluit isthmos aqua, Dindymis et sacra fabricata in vite Cybebe, raptorisque tulit quae via Ditis equos?

Extremely Rare Hekte with Helios & Horses, C. 410 BC
An electrum hekte from Kyzikos, Mysia with a naked Helios kneeling while holding two horses by their bridles; a tunny fish, the civic badge of Kyzikos, is below them while the reverse side is a quadripartite incuse square. Extremely fine and extremely rare, almost certainly the finest known.
The engravers of the Kyzicene coinage drew their ideas from numerous sources, both local and foreign. Here, the inter-connected mythological relationships of Helios to Apollo; and Apollo as father to the city-founder Kyzikos point to an indigenous origin. The symmetrically balanced composition of the sun-god Helios flanked by the horses’ foreparts must have been sculptural in inspiration and it has been suggested that since the composition on the obverse is perfectly square that it was copied from a metope of a temple. Although full staters bearing this composition exist in some numbers, the hektes are exceedingly rare.
