Hello, I love your books and your Tumblr page. Do you also have TikTok?

Anyway, I was in Rome at Villa Farnesina, where the artist Sodoma adorned the walls of the bedroom with scenes from Alexander's life. My favorite was the fresco "ALEXANDER AND ROXANE'S WEDDING." You've probably seen the fresco; Sodoma based the depiction on the painting by the Greek artist Aëtion, according to a description by Lucian of Samosata. It's an obvious allusion to the imminent wedding night. In the center, Alexander approaches Roxane on the bed, while winged putti undress her. Behind Alexander is the half-naked Hephaistion, and in the background, the Greek god of marriage, Hymenaios, with a lit torch. Sodoma painted it around 1517/1519. Studying art history, I've looked into books and the internet, and hardly anyone addresses the naked Hephaistion. There's no attempt to find inspiration or a heterosexual explanation for the nude man in the bedroom; it's simply ignored, and some websites even cut him out. I had the impression he was trying to present Alexander's bisexuality, which, in my opinion, he succeeded in doing. It's fascinating that people in the Renaissance were already aware of this. On Twitter, some Trump supporters claim Netflix "made it up," which is ridiculous.

First, yes, I do have a TikTok!

Second I've seen this very painting in person. It's really extraordinary!

And...I hate to bust your theory, but you have the identities of the two men on the right backwards.

The half-naked guy is Hymenaios. Hephaistion is holding the torch. :-) Hymenaios is traditionally shown nude or partly nude in Greek art. And the "best man" traditionally carried a torch at the wedding.

See below. The bride is in the cart, the groom getting in beside her, and the groom's best man faces them with the torch. As the groom usually picked up his bride after her last meal with her family, it was after dark. The best man was there to lead them through dark streets. :-)

“Eccone uno,» disse, e poi lesse: «Questi preti arrivano talvolta nella loro scelleratezza fino a celebrar messa con grandi ostie che tagliano poi nel centro, dopodiché le incollano su di un cartone preparato nello stesso modo e se ne servono in maniera abominevole per soddisfare le loro passioni».

«La Sodomia Divina…?».

«Già!».

Joris-Karl Huysmans, L'abisso

Year One (2009, Harold Ramis)

21/11/2023

Year One is a 2009 comedy film written and directed by Harold Ramis, in his last cinematic experience.

Zed and Oh are two primitive and clumsy cavemen, a hunter and a gatherer respectively, who after being banished from their village begin a long biblical journey, encountering Cain as he kills Abel.

They are then enslaved by the guards of Sodom and meet Abraham just before he sacrifices his son Isaac, and Zed stops the ritual, saying that he is a messenger of God: they are thus invited to Abraham's house and, after having dinner, the young man Isaac safely takes Zed and Oh to Sodom, where Abraham plans to circumcise them.

Here they are captured again but, just before being sodomized by the soldiers, Cain, who has also become a soldier, comes to their aid, calling them "brothers" and managing to save them.

At the palace, Zed sees Maya and Eema, reduced to slaves, serving at the banquet, while Oh is forced to follow the High Priest for a "rite", that of sensually anointing his entire body behind a curtain; Zed later sees Inanna again, who takes him to the Holy of Holies and asks him to enter, believing him to be "the Chosen One". At first both are sentenced to death by stoning, but Zed fortunately manages to convince the authorities to have mercy and instead sentence them to hard labor until their deaths.

The following morning the king of Sodom declares that he will sacrifice his daughter and two virgins (Maya and Eema, according to Cain the "followers of the Chosen One") to the gods.

The protagonists Jack Black and Michael Cera are supported by a large cast: among others, Olivia Wilde plays the role of Princess Inanna, Christopher Mintz-Plasse plays Isaac while Hank Azaria plays the role of Abraham. The film's director Harold Ramis plays Adam while Rhoda Griffis is Eve, also Kyle Gass is Zaftig the Eunuch, Bill Hader plays a shaman and Vinnie Jones the chief of the guards of Sodom. Finally Paul Rudd plays Abel.

Filming of the film, which took place during January 2008, took place between Louisiana and New Mexico, considered "the end of the world" in the film.

Zgroza, po prostu zgroza!

Paweł Lisicki, naczelny budzącego delikatnie mówiąc mieszane uczucia tygodnika “wSieci” (tytuł alternatywny “Śmieci”), wydał kolejną książkę, co świadczy chociażby o tym, że gość uwielbia znęcać się nad innymi. Godny uwagi jest tytuł, bo budzi tyleż trwogę, co i odrobinę zaciekawienie, zwłaszcza u tych mniej strachliwych, a który brzmi „Imperium Sodomy i jego sojusznicy”. Continue reading…

Sodoma și Gomora: Simbol și semnificație

Sodoma și Gomora sunt, în Vechiul Testament, orașele canaanite din șesul râului Iordan, despre care s-a spus că au fost distruse ca rezultat a judecății divine. Ele au fost menționate și de Strabon (63 î.Hr. - 19 d.Hr.) și Tacitus (55 .î.Hr. - 16 d.Hr.). https://www.diane.ro/2023/07/sodoma-si-gomora-simbol-si-semnificatie.html
