Have a courageous Day of Ares aka Mars' Day aka Tuesday 🗡️
"Ares, the shield-stabber, rose up against Athene with the brazen spear in his hand, and spoke a word of revilement: ‘Why once more, you dogfly, have you stirred up trouble among the gods with the blast of your blown fury, and the pride of your heart driving you?’"
Homer, Iliad 21.391

📸 La Fuente Egeria

Two-handled jar (amphora) depicting the birth of Athena. Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, was said to have been born fully grown from the head of Zeus. Here, Zeus sits on his throne holding his thunderbolt, as the goddess springs from his head in full armour. Hephaistos, who is usually present with the axe he used to split his father's skull, is absent, but Hermes and Apollo look on at left, and at right Ares and a goddess, possibly Aphrodite, observe the miraculous birth.

How many tours has Jean Petrovs given over her 30 years of being a docent at the Georgia Museum of Art? So many that we don't even know. Our community docents help us do so much: leading regular tours of the collection, advocating for us throughout the Athens area and, of course, helping with our 5th-grade tours every year. 🎉 Cheers to Jean and to ALL our docents.

Greece says a radio failure that grounded flights is unlikely to be a cyberattack
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s transport minister said Monday that a major radio communications failure that shut the country’s airspace a day earlier is unlikely to have been a cyberattack, though the cause remains under investigation.

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 5️⃣: Earth
Here’s a minimal isometric relief map of #Santorini. I haven’t been to #Greece 🇬🇷 but I definitely want to see Athens, and either Santorini or Mykonos. Maybe I …

Map of the island group of Santorini shown in an oblique isometric view such that the sea level is a very light tan color with the islands in an aqua color ranging from nearly transparent at sea level to very dark cyan at the highest point. The map is titled with a large text “SANTORINI” with the Greek “ΣΑΝΤΟΡΊΝΗ” above it in a smaller font size and the coordinates 36° 24′ 13″ N ▪ 25° 23′ 45″ E below in an even smaller font size.

"Greece still buries nearly 80% of its waste despite billions spent and bins everywhere"
#Greece #Environment

Why does Greece continues to bury its rubbish and recycle very little?
The waste problem is particularly critical in Athens and the wider area of the Greek capital.

Animals are developing the same chronic diseases as humans
Across the planet, animals are increasingly suffering from chronic illnesses once seen only in humans. Cats, dogs, cows, and even marine life are facing rising rates of cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and obesity — diseases tied to the same factors affecting people: genetics, pollution, poor nutrition, and stress. A new study led by scientists at the Agricultural University of Athens proposes a unified model linking these conditions across species.

Wildlife charities a third of the way to buying key UK nature refuge
A conservation alliance in the U.K. has raised nearly one-third of the 30 million pounds ($39 million) it needs to buy land in northeastern England to turn into a refuge for wildlife and local communities. The land, known as the Rothbury Estate, is roughly the size of the Greek capital of Athens, at 3,839 hectares […]
