Ganymede Mug & Website Changes

We’ve been busy updating the website and designing a devotional coffee mug of Ganymede, the God of Homosexual Love & Zeus’ lover.

We spent a considerable amount of time developing a process to take museum photos of ancient, curved surface art and flatten it for this purpose. It was a challenging and ultimately rewarding experience. In the process, I noticed small details, like Ganymede’s crown, that I otherwise would have missed! Then, we released the tool for all of you to use for free. It’s not perfect of course but no work of art ever truly is.

The Temple of Dionysus

✨Dionysus and Spes (Maybe)✨

Dionysus is dressed in his panther-skin best and wears a garland to boot. He’s joined by a smaller figure more archaic in style which is thought to represent Spes, the personification of hope. But maybe that’s more HOPEFUL thinking since one of stops on the journey of provenance was as part of the Hope collection. Either way, this beautiful sculpture also considered to be a Roman reimagining of a Greek bronze from the fourth century BCE.

🪷 This absolutely divine rendering of the #Braschi #Antinous #Dionysus statue at the Vatican Museums is shared by our friend Joseph Nunes, a "top contributor" to the Temple of Antinous Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Cmz5uWBb7/ 🪷

Curious about the oracular season's answers?

We added an anonymous archive of oracular questions and answers to the website.
These questions and answers are all from folks who consented to the anonymous sharing of their question on the form submission.

So far this is just an assortment of the more recent questions- we plan to add the older records slowly.

Enjoy, and may the light and truth of Apollo guide you, and the many blessings and creative spirit of Dionysus keep us free.

🪷 #Antinous sculptures often had inlaid gemstone eyes so that, in darkened temples, his eyes twinkled divinely. Those gemstones came from far corners of the Roman Empire. ... and beyond!
