It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

#Bendis is a #Thracian goddess of hunting and the moon. Thracian immigrants introduced the goddess into Attica. Some writers identified Bendis with #Artemis, but the temple of Bendis at Piraeus which was near the temple of Artemis, clearly shows that they're distinct goddesses.

2,300 years old, this astonishingly life-like bronze head of Thracian king Seuthes III ~ with alabaster & glass paste eyes (bloodshot!), copper strip eyelashes & eyebrows, & maybe evidence of old injury to cheekbone.
