✨Dionysus was interested in seafood?✨

This is part of the recently uncovered House of Thiasos at Pompeii which is covered in sprawling and near life sized portraits of followers of Dionysus including Silenus (seen here with a young lady). But it seems that the veneration of Dionysus would be incomplete indeed without some fine marine creatures!

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.
