I love that bronze, or whatever it is at the bottom of the post. Beautiful.

I have one short son. The rest are tall. I do not understand where women get the nerve to ask for a tall guy, and also object to men wanting them to be slimmer, or prettier.

Although we can generally control how slim we are, we can't really control how tall or pretty we are. My tallest son isn't married. We live in a very weird age. Character and personality are what you are going to live with and notice every day. Not how tall your man is. Man....so much dumb.

The image appears to be a bronze age belt buckle, on display at the National History Museum of Albania, in Tirana.

It's believed to depict the legend of Cadmus.

I'm unclear who Brother Sawos is... Possibly "Sawos" is a much older pronunciation of the name that comes down to us as Cadmus?
