Αλκυονευς

Among the gods begotten by Ge (Earth) in her marraige to the Sky (Uranus), Alcyoneus was exceptional for his height and tremendous strength. It was he who played the leading part in the struggle between the Giants and the Gods, which took place in the Phlegrean Fields (at Pallene in Macedonia). Alcyoneus could not be killed so long as he fought on the earth where he had been born. Accordingly, on the advice of Athena, Heracles took him far away from Pallene and eventually shot him dead with an arrow after he had crushed to death twenty-four of Heracles' companions with a single blow from an enormous rock. The Alcyonids, daughters of Alcyoneus, in despair at the death of their father, cast themselves into the sea. They were changed into birds (the halcyons).

I’m just a cold face on the street
slow and somber in my patterns
I’m just a friend you’ll never meet
I am the love that never happens

I was born... by fourteen four regional dimensions.

Very interetsing rendition of a star/nebula, it actually looks like that stage of a Sun-like star's life we rarely see in space depictions - when the outer layers are only just starting to shed, forming a loosly-wound cocoon of dust around the dying star :sun:

Why is delivering things by car called "shipment" while delivering things by ship called "cargo"?
