It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡

"He [#Zeus] went to #Semele in Kadmos' palace. Then her mortal frame could not endure the tumult of the heavens; that gift of love consumed her. From her womb her baby, still not fully formed, was snatched, and sewn (could one believe the tale) inside his father's thigh, and so completed there his mother's time."
#Ovid, Metamorphoses

@AimeeMaroux I love the metamorphoses. They’re just so primally weird. A hymn to change itself.
@sgharms And the one about Apollo and Hyacinthus is so very touching. 🥺
@AimeeMaroux I seem to be contracting a cold so maybe I’ll lean in…love from the Delian is always risky.
