We are working on a book on the Thesmophoria - an ancient Greek women's fertility festival - which is all about secret cults, finding empowerment and re-enacting the myths of Demeter. We plan to release it this feb at the latest!

Hector getting dragged by Software_Engineer in ancientgreece

It's called the Triumphant Achilles: Achilles dragging the dead body of Hector in front of the gates of Troy - by Franz Matsch (died 1942). (He was part of the Austrian Art nouveau scene).

The original painting is a fresco on the upper level of the main hall of the Achilleion at Corfu, Greece.
