Hermes agreed and opened the door to Herse's chamber with his caduceus. When Aglauros wanted to rise in protest, she couldn't. She fought to raise herself up and straighten her body, but to no avail: rock was already taking hold of her throat, her mouth was growing hard, until she sat there, nothing but a bloodless statue.
The myth is told by #Ovid, in Metamorphoses, 2, ll. 711–832

...Irgendwie komme ich nicht zum Lesen: Ständig ploppt irgendwelcher unangenehme, lästige Kram hoch. Das geht jetzt schon seit Anfang des Jahres so, und deshalb steht alles "römische" derzeit hinten an (wenn man vom Kochen mal absieht).

"My wife and I to read 'Ovid's Metamorphoses' ..."
As one does.
BoP: i am leading a team-meeting, and i think we're going to talk about the myth of Pygmalion in thinking about self-fulfilling prophecies
* Pygmalion - sculptor who fell in love with, in all ways, a statue he made & eventually Aphrodite turned the statue into a woman.*
me, co-host of a #podcast about the #astronomy and #mythology of the #constellations: perhaps, #GreekMythology is not the right choice for a #work meeting 😅
Somnus was the Roman god of sleep (equivalent to the Greek god Hypnos). According to Ovid, Somnus has a thousand sons, including Morpheus (who appears in dreams as a human), Phobetor (who appears as an animal), and Phantasos (who appears as an inanimate object).
