Greek Theater Build - Gods I love Greek literature, I think I really got into it with the Percy Jackson books and just haven't stopped from there.

Back in ancient times they actually used pulleys and tie people to them to make them float above the stage and act like gods, that had to be uncomfortable.

People actually still performing in there theaters to! The way the seating and Theater is set up makes it so you can hear a penny dropped from on stage, from way out in the back row!

This is actually a older build of mine, But I never posted it here so I figured why not. Hope you guys like it!

More architecture/ atmosphere studies, this time featuring Ignihyde.

For those interested my references are: Celsus Library in Ephesus (feat Idia) and the Philippeion in Olympia (feat Ortho)

I've done similar sets with Octavinelle and another with Savanaclaw

Decorative Sunday!

These beautiful engravings are from the first volume of The Antiquities of Athens by Scottish archeologist, architect and artist, James Stuart (1713-1788) and British artist and architect, Nicholas Revett (1720-1804), printed in London by John Haberkorn in 1762.

The Tower of the Winds is an octagonal marble clock tower in the Roman Agora of Athens. It was designed by Andronicus of Cyrrhus around 50 BC. It was a functional structure that contained sundials, a waterclock, and a wind vane. It is an ancient equivalent of a modern day meteorological station. The building became more widely known outside of Greece because of Stuart and Revett, who were among the first to document the antiquities and monuments of Athens in great architectural detail. Their work is noted for fueling the Greek Revival, an architectural movement in northern Europe, the United States, and Canada in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. When the first volume was published they had more than five hundred subscribers, mostly architects and builders.

The engravings were made by the British engraver James Basire (1730-1802), who specialized in prints depicting architecture. Artwork by Basire is held in museums throughout the world. He is also known for having the young William Blake (1757-1827) as an apprentice for seven years.

The well known artist William Hogarth (1697-1764) published a satirical print called The Five Orders of Periwigs in which he classifies the ridiculous wigs that were in fashion at the time into “orders” with greatly detailed measurements. This was a direct satire of Stuart and Revett’s work and similar work of which he said “It requires nor more skill to take the dimensions of a pillar or cornice, than to measure a square box.”

The tower’s frieze depicts the eight winds in bas-relief represented figuratively as gods, the Anemoi: Zephyrus, the West wind; Boreas, the North wind; Kaikias, the North East wind; Apeliotes, the East wind; Eurus, the South East wind; Notus, the South wind; Lips, the South West wind; and Sciron, the North West wind.

Apeliotes, The East Wind.

Eurus, The South East Wind.

Notos, The South Wind.

Lips, The South West Wind.

Sciron, The North West Wind.
