“The 80s were a very interesting period for bikes in India. I saw people discarding old #models and buying new bikes very fast. I wondered what happened to those old #bikes, and that’s when I hit upon the idea of collecting them", says Vinit Kenjal, the man behind the museum. Image
#Vinit also points out that vintage bikes evoke a sense of nostalgia in visitors. “From dropping children to school and taking your beloved on long rides to giving lifts to strangers, there are several emotions associated with scooters.
I want to give the older generation an opportunity to relive those moments again,” he adds.

🇮🇹⚡️Roman statue of Hercules pops up during sewer repairs in Rome

An ancient Roman statue of Hercules has been discovered during repairs to the drains under a park in Rome. The statue is possibly 2,000 years old.

#rome #roma #archeology #hercules
It was the archaeological park itself that shared the discovery on Facebook. “The domain held a big surprise for us,” it sounds. “It is a life-size marble statue that we can identify with certainty as Hercules because of the club and the lion's cloak.”
2/5
The impressive find is believed to date back to Roman Imperial times (27 BC to 476 AD), and was found around the second mile marker along the ancient Appia Road, a famous historic road.

¡Hoy tengo cuerpo de #mitología! ¿Vosotr@s? Y ya que, en uno de mis últimos hilos, hablaba de #Zeus y sus amoríos, hoy voy a centrarme en una de sus criaturas: el magnífico #Heracles, más conocido como #Hércules, que fue su nombre latino. ¿Me acompañáis?
🧵👩‍🎓
En esta ocasión,#Zeus(#Júpiter a partir de ahora),se prendó de Alcmena.El hecho de que estuviera casada con Anfitrión,rey de Tirinto,no fue un impedimento para el dios.¿En qué se transformó esta vez?En el propio Anfitrión:así no levantó sospechas cuando entró en el lecho conyugal
Lo curioso es que el auténtico Anfitrión también durmió con Alcmena y esta quedó embarazada de dos mellizos: uno hijo de #Jupiter y el otro de Anfitrión. Sí, sí, suena raro, pero es biológicamente posible: se llama heteropaternidad. Así nacieron #Hercules y su hermano Ificles.

1A día de hoy ¿cuál dirían que es el caza ligero por excelencia? ¿El F-16? ¿El Gripen? ¿Y si hablamos de un aparato que era la mitad de la mitad?

Para mí, este es el caza ligero por excelencia, una pequeña historia del Folland #Gnat (y su hermanastro indio HAL #Ajeet)
2El padre de la criatura era el ingeniero William Edward Willoughby "Teddy" Petter, quien había trabajado previamente en numerosas aeronaves de la firma Westland, como el #Lysander, el #Whirlwind o el #Welkin Image
3incluso trabajó en el proyecto para mejorar el #Spitfire corrigiendo cierta inestabilidad del diseño original

Tras ciertas desavenencias con la dirección de @westland, en septiembre de 1944, Peter se despidió y se llevó consigo los trabajos para la propuesta B1/44 Image

#ClassicsTwitter #Classics #mythology Στα νομίσματα της πόλης της Φαιστού κυριαρχούσαν οι μορφές του Ηρακλή και του ταύρου (της Κρήτης) και τούτο οφείλεται σε δύο λόγους: πρώτον, η πόλη της Φαιστού λέγεται πως πήρε το όνομά της από τον Φαίστο, βασιλιά της Σικυώνας και υιό του🔽
Ηρακλή, ο οποίος μετέβη στην Κρήτη, έπειτα από χρησμό (Παυσανίας 2.6.7.). Δεύτερον, σύμφωνα με την παράδοση, ο ταύρος της Κρήτης ήταν ο έβδομος άθλος του Ηρακλή. Συγκεκριμένα, ο ταύρος είχε σταλεί από τον Ποσειδώνα στον Μίνωα, έπειτα από τις προσευχές του τελευταίου, καθώς🔽
ο Μίνωας, λόγω της επιθυμίας του ν΄ανέβει στον θρόνο της Κρήτης, προσπάθησε να αποδείξει στους συμπολίτες του ότι έχει την εύνοια των θεών, ζητώντας από τον Ποσειδώνα έναν ταύρο, τον οποίο, μάλιστα, δεσμεύτηκε να θυσιάσει προς τιμήν του θεού. Όταν, όμως, βγήκε από τη θάλασσα ο🔽

Ancient Coin of the Day: Just got Hercules on my mind today, so the thread is going to look at the connection which Commodus forged with Hercules, starting with this aureus of AD 190. #ACOTD #Commodus #Hercules

Image: RIC III Commodus 221d. Link - numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.3.…
The connection between the Emperor and the gods was one that had a long history, with Augustus being worshipped at Narbonne alongside the goddess Roma, but few emperors went as far as Commodus in explicitly associating themselves with a particular deity.
Dio (73.15.6) tells us that during Commodus' reign "vast numbers of statues were erected representing him in the garb of Hercules. And it was voted that his age should be named the 'Golden Age', and that this should be recorded in all the records without exception."

Was #Jesus based on the story of #Hercules/#Herakles?
Um, #No, and here is why:
Hercules is the most famous hero of Greco-Roman myth. Known to the Greeks as Herakles and the Romans as Hercules, he was the ideal man of the ancient world, one who battled monsters and even gods. But does his story have any bearing on that of Christ’s?
Well, lets see how
"similar" they are.
Born of a virgin? No, Hercules was the product of an extra-marital affair between Zeus and Alcmene.
In other words, they did the hunka-chunka.
