Antikythera Mechanism! I went there when I visited Greece. What a fascinating museum with cool stuff such as the mechanical calculator. If anyone has the ability and interest, they should definitely visit the museum.
I think the Greek Ages was written by Homer during the Greek civilization. While the Pandora box was written in the 16th century by the legend himself Erasmus.
Fascinating. I have seen them so many times on movies and did know where they actually came from. Well, now I know!
“The Fall of Icarus” was an oil on canvas work undertaken by Jacob Peter Gowy, between 1636 and 1638. The Fall of Icarus, depicts one of the most famous events from the surviving stories of Greek mythology.
Icarus was the son of Daedalus, and father and son were imprisoned by King Minos following Theseus’ killing of the Minotaur.
Daedalus came up with a method of escape for Icarus and himself, and with wings attached, they flew from the island of Crete. Icarus was warned about the dangers of the sun on the wax that held the feathers together, but Icarus flew too close to the sun, resulting in Icarus falling to his death.
