Το γνωρίζατε ότι η Καμάρα είχε οκτώ συνολικά πεσσούς, ότι η Ροτόντα ήταν ναός αφιερωμένος στην αρχαία θρησκεία, και ότι τον 4ο-6ο αιώνα μ.Χ. λειτουργούσε Ιππόδρομος που ξεκινούσε από το ύψος της Εγνατίας και έφθανε έως τη θάλασσα;

ON Wednesday at 10:45 Universal Time (2:45 a.m. at the Hollywood Temple of Antinous) the sun "stands still" ("Sol Stasis") — the 21 December 2016 Solstice. This is a special day every year in the Religion of Antinous for it marks the return of Sol Invictus, the Unconquerable Sun. The return of the sun is the Conquest of Unconquered Light over chaos and darkness, the emergence of Phanes-Eros-Dionysus from the cosmic egg (image at right). On this day, we observe the moment when the unknown god Bythus-Narcissus gazed into the pool of the abyss and saw his own reflection. His image caused the birth of the thrice-great Phanes-Eros-Zagreus, the saviors, who together are called Antinous Invictus. The three-fold mystery of their birth is the descent of Phanes-Beauty, Eros-Love and Zagreus-Ecstasy into our world. These great spirits are the divine light of Antinous the God, it is their presence at the ground of our soul that is our immortal spark. Within us all is the perfect image of the perfect face of light and love, a reflection of Narcissus-Bythus gazing down into the darkness of our world. Antinous Invictus the perfect image of the perfect face of light and love will illuminate the way ahead. It was Hadrian's dream to create the perfect civilization ... a civilization based on the Hellenistic principles of love, beauty, learning and tolerance. And it was his dream to create the perfect religion ... a religion which would encompass all others. In the Northern Hemisphere today is the Winter Solstice and the days will be getting longer now. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the Summer Solstice and the days will become shorter now. Wherever you live on this blue marble of ours, it is the same moment in the eye of Antinous the Gay God.

I once wrote about Windsor Chairs, and today I thought I would talk about one of my other favorite chairs: the Klismos Chair. I am a bit baised here since I have 6 Klismos chairs around my dining table... But, like the Windsor chair, the Klismos design has lasting power. After all, it's origins date to 400 B.C. Xanthippos, Athens, circa 430-420 B.C. Helena Modjeska (1840-1909) Polish-American actress, as Laodamia on a Klismos chair carved seats in the Dionysus Theater in Athens Derived from the Greek word klino (a cause to lean), they say that the Klismos chair was mostly used by women. This elegant chair features graceful legs that sweep out from the seat, and a curved back that cradles the sitter. Depicted in ancient art, as a light weight chair (in some scenes, it is carried overhead) the Klismos chair is generally made of wood. There are no known original Klismos chairs in existence, but the ancient chair design was ressurected in the 1700s by the French, during the Neoclassical period. It endured through the 1800s, became a popular chair in England, and then traveled to America by way of the famous furniture maker, Duncan Phyfe. Some Klismos chairs are painted, laquered, or golf leafed... others have woven seats, or decorative upholstery. Today, there seems to be a Klismos chair for everyone. And, these are my Klismos dining chairs... They are from the 1950s. We reupholstered them (in Celerie Kemble's "betwixt") and gave them a coat of paint. Although there are many varieties of the Klismos chair, it always displays two key elements: the striking profile and light weight design. To me it seems like a chair to respect. After all, the design has been admired by humanity for 2,500 years. For more on the Greek History of the Klismos Chair, click HERE or HERE, or HERE. ...
