The Greek element in the Bowie-Iman wedding

Special thanks for this discovery are due to my close friend, antiquities conservator, Mania Kostopoulou. 

While reading an article on Iman and David Bowie, Mania noticed a beautiful photograph of the lovely couple behind a wedding cake. And what a wedding-cake that was! Four-storied, each story supported by well-made white doric fluted columns. The whole thing rather recalls a multi-storied tholos -minus the roof of course. 

On top of the cake is a rather strange couple performing acrobatics -hmm can't think of why. 

There's actually no way, a normal person could have ever noticed this detail, which is probably why I couldn't find anything on the web regarding this cake -Iman and Bowie are so radiant-, so Mania, thanks again for this! 

Demeter Fertiliser

Fellow archaeologist and great photographer Fotis Yfantidis shared a very interesting photograph on CGA's Facebook page: the emblem of the Greek Phosphoric Fertiliser Industry showing Demeter holding a torch and shallow bowl. 

I'm reproducing it here along with some more photographs found on the net.

Strangest Discobolus ever?

Strangest Discobolus ever?

Well, you may judge for yourselves. This is a clip from the BabyTV channel. 

Makes you think a lot about all the cliches regarding Greek identity.
