Photo two poets and a woman.. by silvia marmori

a tango poet, Homero Exposito, wrote once some verses about a woman that had left him

Flax's flower,
I see you in the star
that illuminates the track
of my solitude...

absence flower,
your memory
always hunts me
through my eternal longing's night.

many centuries before, and with the same pain at his heart, a man arrived at this place i shot, when these stones and walls were a palace.. and he begged his brother reigning here to help him to have again his wife, kidnapped by a shepperd/ prince..
i don't know which words he used, but he was convincing... an army departed .. thousand of men fought for ten years a terrible war.. gods flying and blood spreading over far fields overseas.. finally, he recovered her..

so, this image is for Agamemnon, the understanding brother... Menelao, the sad husband.. the two Homer, the tango poet and the epic genius.. for the one, whose name wasnt flax's flower, but Helena..and for the souls of all soldiers and warriors from both sides dead at Troy, following a crazy adventure , just for the love of a woman.

i think the perspective of this agora is a heart, lovely shot. I like tragedie because it is borned "from the spirit of music", and the stones, if you stay and listen for, they could tell many stories. I believe you know to listen the sound of the stones.

thank you... yes.. they talk in the ancient language of those who were.. and they whisper about the coming spirits of the future, also.. we are just present.. and we open our soul to listen..

Very interesting story - interesting version of Troy-war smile

As for photo - it is shown very clear, IMO, that Time and Space are similar to spiral smile

yes.. this is the version i heard instead of fairy tales when i was a kid.. but you know.. i really thought about this one, when being there at mycenes, instead of those state cities, all in war, behind politcal interest, and bad agammenon only fighting for power..
and about spiral.. smile yes!... i do agree with you.. the cycle of the eternal return..
