2 more beautiful photos I took of famous frescos at Knossos in May 2012! Click to ENLARGE:The simply stunning Griffin Fresco in the Throne Room of the Queen's Megaron.

The Octopus Fresco, another amazing work of art. There is humour in this one, a trait found in more than just a few works of Minoan art and craftsmanship, as in pottery as well. Richard

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.
Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
