I accidentally saw my Facebook feed today. I'm traveling in #Athens and was looking for events, but hit back one too many times and ended up on the feed.

It wasn't full of Nazis or anything. Just tremendously dull posts, yet also "I feel like I should reply to this".

Epiphanies of the day:

- I'm too young for Facebook
- I'm too old for insta
- Way too old for TikTok
- Too antifa for Twitter (that's a low bar tbh)
- Too human for LinkedIn

I'm at a nice bar in #Athens, but I've gotta say not the most traditional music

Glass of beer. That annoying Offspring song in the background

10 detained after protesting #Edorgan 's #Athens visit.

But don't worry, the Greek government doesn't arrest _everyone_ who protests. Yesterday, for example, at the #Grigoropoulos protests, they just beat up everyone. So there's that.

Heute vor 15 Jahren wurde #AlexisGrigoropoulos in #Athen von den Cops erschossen. Er wurde nur 15 Jahre alt. Dies löste eine Revolte aus, die weit über die anarchistische Bewegung hinaus ging. Alexis lebt in unseren Kämpfen weiter!

Gestern vor einem Jahr haben die Cops in #Thessaloniki dem 16-jährigem Rom Kostas Fragoulis, nachdem er eine 20€-Rechnung an einer Tankstelle nicht gezahlt hatte, bei der Verfolgung in den Hinterkopf geschossen. Am 14.12. erlag er seinen Verletzungen.

Anlässlich des #6December geht es heute Abend überall in Griechenland auf die Straße. Der Hass auf die Cops und die Wut der Menschen ist grenzenlos! Kein Vergeben, kein Vergessen! Rache für Alexis und Kostas!

15 years ago today #AlexisGrigoropoulos was shot dead by the cops in #Athens. He was only 15 years old. This sparked a revolt that went far beyond the anarchist movement. Alexis lives on in our struggles!

A year ago yesterday, cops in #Thessaloniki shot 16-year-old roma Kostas Fragoulis in the back of the head during a pursuit after he didn't pay a €20 bill at a petrol station. He succumbed to his injuries on Dec 14th .

On the occasion of #6December, people are taking to the streets all over Greece tonight. The hatred towards the cops and the anger of the people is endless! Never forgive, never forget! Revenge for Alexis and Kostas!

"Why the Parthenon sculptures became powerfully attached to British nationhood[...]: Britain needed symbols that could signify nationhood.
[...] Such investment [in the Parthenon sculptures] charted the course for a new conception of Britain as supra-nation."

International Solidarity for the Community of Squatted Prosfygika in #Athens [en]

"There is urgent financial support needed for the Community of Squatted Prosfygika in Alexandras Avenue in Athens. The current situation has been bad and will change for the worst. Imperialist wars, fascist regimes and global capitalism are growing stronger in different territories, millions of people on the move get trapped and killed by the Greek and European Border regime, exploitation of landscapes and natural resources are pushing the climate catastrophe. These forces are the same that oppress and criminalize everyone and everything that we are struggling for. This situation leads to the need of self-organisation and social self-defense to build upon a ground of resistance.

The #Community of Squatted #Prosfygika is home to more than 500 people. As a result, Prosfygika has managed to sustain a politically unified neighborhood, numerous squatted apartments, communal structures covering the needs of dozens of people, a constant participation to local and international struggles ....."

#Athens, #Greece.17th of November is the day when the student revolt against the dictatorship in polytechnic university of Athens, in 1973 is being commemorated with a march at the streets of every city in Greece, but mainly in central Athens where a usually massive march is organized towards the American embassy, that is being blamed of co-operating and imposing the junta regime at the time.
This year though after the
#US embassy it will continue to the embassy of #Israel

Like every other year almost 6.000 cops, police helicopters, drones and even anti-terrorist units will be focused around the black bloc of anarchists and antiauthoritarians.

About a week and a half ago, there was a particularly vicious, violent attack by about 40 neo-Nazis on a smaller group of anarchists and refugees in a train car in a metro station in Athens, Greece. It's gotten almost no coverage or discussion in English-language media, so I went ahead and translated a couple of short write-ups published on the French antifascist website La Horde. The first article is sort of a recap of the attack itself. The second is a slightly longer analysis of the events surrounding it.

I do feel the need to point out that, while I translate stuff from German and Spanish all the time, I don't generally do French translations for publication, because I don't have a lot of experience with it (yet). I'm pretty confident in the content in these, but there might be some awkward constructions here and there. Friendly suggestions and criticism are welcome.

As Price Of #OliveOil Soars, Chainsaw-Wielding Thieves Target Mediterranean's Century-Old #OliveTrees

By Associated Press, November 8, 2023

"In an olive grove on the outskirts of #Athens, grower Konstantinos Markou pushes aside the shoots of new growth to reveal the stump of a tree — a roughly 150-year-old specimen, he said, that was among 15 cut down on his neighbor's land by thieves eager to turn it into money.

"Surging olive oil prices, driven in part by two years of #drought in #Spain, has meant opportunity for criminals across the Mediterranean. Warehouse break-ins, dilution of premium oil with inferior product, and falsification of shipping data are on the rise in #olive-growing heartlands of #Greece, #Spain and #Italy. And perhaps worst of all: Gangs using chainsaws to steal heavily laden branches and even entire trees from unguarded groves.

"'The olive robbers can sometimes produce more oil than the owners themselves – seriously,' Markou said, before heading off to patrol his own grove at nightfall.

"The crimes mean fewer olives for growers already contending with high production costs and #ClimateChange that has brought #WarmerWinters, major #flooding and more intense #ForestFires. In Italy’s southern #Puglia region, growers are pleading with police to form an agriculture division. Greek farmers want to bring back a rural police division that was phased out in 2010. In Spain, a company has developed tracking devices that look like olives to try and catch thieves."

#Athens, #Greece: Taking responsibility for smashing Israeli interests by proletarians

Excerpt from the claim: "We, from our geographical position, cannot but stand in solidarity with the hopeful struggle of the Palestinian people, just as we would stand in solidarity with any just revolutionary struggle of the oppressed against their oppressors.

As a minimal sign of practical solidarity we attacked 3 hotel businesses with Israeli interests:
A) ZOIA HOTEL Kosmas Melodou-Lykavittos
B) ZOIA HOTEL Metsovou street
C) HESTIA HOTEL Alexandra Avenue breaking the windows of their entrances.

Companies that represent the significant presence of Israeli capital in Greece with, among other things, hundreds of millions’ worth of investments in the real estate sector by owning thousands of properties.

We call on the entire world of struggle to further mass demonstrations of solidarity with the Palestinian people."

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

This is one of my favourite depictions of #Dionysos in ancient art. My written version of him is largely based on this gold relief of drunken Dionysos and a panther, supported by a #satyr friend.

🏛️ Naiskos ("little temple") relief framed by the columns and pediment of a temple, 2nd century BCE, National Archaeological Museum #Athens

@antiquidons @archaeodons @mythology #GreekRomanArt #Caturday #Satyrday #mythology

Golden naiskos relief of Dionysos framed by two Corinthian columns and a triangular pediment. The god is drunk, leaning on a satyr friend for support. To his feet, a panther crouches. Dionysos is depicted with a cloak pinned above his breast and a crown in his long, lush hair adorned with clusters of grapes. He personifies the abundance of a good life through his soft, sensual body.

Did you know that in #ancient #Athens some men had to suffer as scapegoats for angry #gods ?

The Thargelia was an annual #festival for #Apollo & Artemis. While various rituals were performed, one involved choosing one (or two) very #ugly men, feeding them & either beating them & throwing them from a cliff, or casting them out of the city.

The 2 sacrifices were given necklaces of black figs & white figs - representing the #sacrifice from the men and women of Athens respectively.

Streetartwall. On an approximately four-story modern building, the portrait of a man surrounded by three flying banknotes is sprayed / painted. The mural is designed in gray-blue. The facial expression of the man is just a white area. He wears a white shirt with a black tie and has his hands clenched into fists. His head is turned upwards. A straight cut goes through the figure and a blue jagged color element is on the gray and white mural as if by chance.

The B-52’s release their second LP, “Wild Planet”

Sophomore albums are rarely as good as the first one, but damn, this is about as close as you can get to repeating unbelievable success and cool music.

Recorded in the Bahamas like its predecessor, this follow up delivers more of the band’s signature sound; retro-kitsch, bouncy beats, quirky hooks, and first-class vocals from Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson.

Some real classics on this one, including “Quiche Lorraine,” “Dirty Back Road” and the immortal “Private Idaho”. But it’s another album you should just play from start to finish.

Anyone from or living in Athens?

I'm thinking of visiting over Xmas & the New Year and was looking for some advice on the best areas to stay in the city.

Also will the good & drink places be closed over the holiday, in which case I'll need to find a hotel with a restaurant.

Any general visitor tips greatly received.

Boosts welcome.

Greek authorities move to protect #FossilFuel infrastructure from the effects resulting from the burning of its product.

"Fast-moving #wildfires swept across hills in the searing heat outside the Greek capital on Tuesday, forcing authorities to close highways to help protect an #oil refinery. "

My local shelter in Athens, GA is out of space for dogs and needs five dogs adopted as SOON as POSSIBLE, hopefully TODAY. None of the dogs have behavioral issues, there's simply not enough space.

Feel free to steal this post and put it on whatever social media site you want, I could use help!

URGENT!!

...
WE NEED 5 DOGS TO LEAVE ASAP!! AS LONG AS THEY'RE IN A LARGE KENNEL OR CRATE & NOT ON STRAY HOLD, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO.
We're about to lose good dogs simply because there are more dogs than can be housed or cared for humanely at the shelter. These won't be behavioral dogs--we're out of them. They won't be borderline dogs--we're out of them. These will be good adoptable dogs who simply haven't been adopted or fostered.
The full list of available dogs can be found at: https://www.accgov.com/9482/Dogs (scroll up if the page looks blank after you click on a link). Dogs that are off stray hold/have been at the shelter longer are at the top of the page; new impounds/strays are at the bottom.
All 8 of the dogs pictured here are off stray hold and at the shelter currently. Any of them leaving saves a life.
Will you save a life today?
Sponsorship available for rescues--tell us what you need to help us help you. All adoptions of medium/large dogs age 6 months+ are $25 and include: spay/neuter, HW test & treatment if needed, rabies/DHLPP/bordetella vax, and microchip.
To adopt or foster: come by the shelter (address below). Can't come by before 4? Call and make sure you talk to someone--staff is there until 6 and will meet you after hours if that's what it takes to save a life!

President #Obama was in #Athens and spoke about the #migrant boat and how it did not receive as much attention by the press as the recent 'Titanic' event

He conveniently forgot to speak about the thousands of #bombs the #USA dropped during his Presidency and especially the 26,171 bombs in 2016 that were reported by the press

But #Medea doesn't stop there. She kills her own children, despite the pain it will put her through, to hurt Iason. Revelling in his pain from a flying chariot provided to her by her grandfather #Helios, Medea takes her childrens' bodies with her to bury them in #Hera's sanctuary far away in Akraia, refusing to let Iason hold them. She prophesises a bitter end for him and proceeds to make her escape to #Athens in the divine chariot.

#mythology #GreekMythology @mythology @antiquidons

Campanian red-figure amphora depicting Medea killing her son. She is dressed in foreign clothes, holding a dagger in one hand and her son's head in the other. Blood streams down from her son's wound.
Dated 330 BCE. Today in the Musée du Louvre (K 300).

"Go on, play the bridegroom!" #Medea tells Iason, "The gods will see to it: one day you'll regret the match you have made."
After arranging for her exile in #Athens, Medea poisons a golden robe, an heirloom from her grandfather #Helios, and sends her children to present it to Glauke as a gift, allegedly in hopes to lift their exile but in truth to enact vicious revenge on Iason's new bride: when Glauke puts on the radiant robe, the poison kills her and her father Kreon who tries to save her.

Screenshot of Glauke putting on the poisoned robe and crown Medea sent from the Italian film Medea by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Would we want this?

What I argue here about the #Metas', might also be true for the growing number of people on #BlueSky, thinking of the screenshot @atomicpoet has just posted.

(E.g.) Half(!) of the #US population is on #TikTok. People are flooded with (dis-/) information, #InfoWars are increasing, and #MentalHealth and touch with reality are decreasing.

In ancient #Athens #democracy, people who became too powerful and thus threatened society were...
