Platypus of Truth

Shaddam IV and Princess Irulan.  

 Has anyone else noticed that the one time Odysseus tells the truth, that Odysseus will return in a month, that he isn't believed? He even uses Achilles' phase: I hate as the gates of Hades that man who says one thing and hides another in his heart. Always something new to notice. 

 Hurin and Morgoth. 

 More from that old Inktober list. Here we have an ancient tree with some Buddhist Shinto flair and The Falling Tower.

 

 

  Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me.  Listening to Gangsta's Paradise and thinking about the Iliad. You're watching a civilization fall apart. Judging from graves, a 23 year old Mycenaean warlord couldn't be sure he'd see 24. The number of wounds found on the bones and their violence are remarkable. They lived their lives for glory and to have their deeds retold in freestyle song. Later Greeks were convinced that their thug life brought complete destruction on their world. The songs of these heroes eere remembered by their descendants living in the ruins.
