#Achilles did NOT need a makeup room (maybe a makeout room...)
"Achilles had many physical and mental characteristics that made him one of the most handsome and competent soldiers of the Greek army. In the Iliad, Homer describes Achilles as a man with the beauty and strength of a god and the humbleness of a man. In short, he was a perfect combination of god and human-like features.
"Physically Achilles is described to have had the shiniest blond hair. He had a deep masculine voice and a very manly gait. He wore bright-colored clothes and had many army medals, all at the age of 15. Surely he was very popular among the men and women."

Aphrodite of Aphrodisias
The cult image of Aphrodite of Aphrodisias is packed with gorgeous details and is our pick for #ReliefWednesday on account of the relief decoration along her body that reflect different aspects of her divinity including: the Three Graces, Selene and Helios, Aphrodite as a sea-goat with Tritons, and three winged Erotes.
Perseus’ rescue of Andromeda is complicated by his murder of Medusa. Here Andromeda appears in a yellow gown and Perseus is clearly identifiable from his winged boots and the head of Medusa…
We’re not saying you definitely need to visit Delos, but we’re not not saying that either

Ancient City of Magnesia
“Top of the Thursday to you,” said Silenus to the passersby on the way to Athens. Such a sign as the one offered by Silenus is surely a positive one! While the Greeks preferred sophrosyne for themselves, the ways of the divine were clearly different.
