Artemis, virtue, hunt & godess in chariot etc

Salvete Omnes,
there is so much beauty in ancient art, so here we go:

 
a quick collection of ancient images (mostly pottery and coins) related to Artemis, goddess of hunt and virtue, and horses, including ancient chariots.

Unusually, there is a detail (from two different examples of ancient pottery) showing Artemis in a chariot pulled by deer

Borek and Slavonic Gods

Salvete Omnes,

a very quick post- announcement about a book, perhaps very important one if you a child in search of tales and myths from the world of pagan Slavs and their gods.
Wydawnictwo Triglav from Poland in joint venture with Winged Hussar Publishing LLC from New Jersey, US, and  in cooperation with the American famous publishing giant  Simon & Schuster published  Igor Gorewicz's book  Borek and Slavonic Gods in December 2018.

end of the book

Long time ago I bought the Polish original for my son and he enjoyed it every bit, rereading it many times over his years.
Upon learning about these great Slavonic tales and myths from the book my little son got inspired and drew his own version of Slavonic pantheon.

 I think this book, profusely illustrated with watercolor paintings, can be a great addition to children's library of tales and myths, especially since there is so little about our Slavonic gods, mythology and history for children and young adults alike.
Valete!
