Shot I took of the Temple of Apollo Epicurius in Bassae, Messenia, Greece

What these friezes from the temple of Apollo at Bassae may lack in elegance & sophistication, they make up for in drama & dynamism. The full friezes depict an Amazonomachy & a Centaurs & Lapiths battle. They vividly show the brutality & confusion of war

"The Vision at the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae" by George Percy Jacomb-Hood 🎨.
#art #painting

I just need to remember that I touched Apollo in the golden tree sap of Bassae and we invoked Hekate to a crack of thunder in the old growth forests of Arcadia. Not everything is an algorithm hurtling us toward the end even when it feels that way a lot of the time

the Temple of Demeter at Lepreum / the Argolid below the acropolis of Midea / the Temple of Athena at Priene, above the Meander / mountainous Arcadia as seen from Bassae 🏺

They use the Bassae frieze as a framing device, which is informative in its own right while providing a solid foundation for discussing language, architecture, academics, and culture. The best Very Short Introduction I’ve read so far! (Pictured below is a section of the Bassae frieze.)

A once-grand Berlin park
built for people of means —
now grimy, coal-dark,
and choking in weeds.

That looks like a fabulous way to prepare for class. Since you go to Messene, why not take a little different route and see Bassae as well.
