Hipparchia: Rich Girl, Broke Husband, Zero F*cks Given
She had wealth, status and respectable marriage prospects. Instead, Hipparchia chose a penniless philosopher, rejected society's rules and challenged men who thought women belonged at the loom. Ancient Greece wasn't ready for her.

Ik heb alweer een plan voor mijn volgende boek...🥁🥁🥁 Na jaren werken aan Hipparchia en Socrates heb ik echt zin om terug te gaan naar mijn basis: de spontaniteit en vrijheid van het autobiografische werk.

Mariposa pardo rubia o sátiro rubio (𝘏𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘦). Había ejemplares tanto entre las flores de brezo como en fincas aradas. En cualquier caso, son de las que resulta difícil verlas con las alas desplegadas y solo me dejaron ver su lado gris 😢🦋

A pleasant surprise yesterday to find that my patented pasha paste also had its charms for Tree Grayling, when this individual dropped in to sample the dubious delights to be found on the bark of a cork oak.

SO YOU THINK YOUR’E THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN RADICAL?
I doubt you’d go as far as Hipparchia. Daughter in an ultra rich family in Ancient Greece. She embraced Cynicism and as a result she saw money as pointless, status as ridiculous and expensive clothes as things to be got rid of.

Grayling peaked several weeks earlier this year at Studland, 2 weeks earlier than 2025 and 4 weeks earlier than 2024. Not surprisingly, they are going over quickly now due to the heatwaves and drought which have now thankfully ended. @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social @ukbms.bsky.social

Aquí una molt ben mimetitzada Hipparchia fidia (faune de ziga-zaga). Crec que és la primera vegada que n'identifico un (tot i ser força comuns, simplement no n'havia vist mai, diria)

Grayling Hipparchia semele, a very lovely butterfly seen here in photo 1 on heather at Bovey Heath this morning.
They're not often seen with their wings open like this one in Photo 2 taken on Little Haldon Heath.
