The Saffron Goddess (1600 B.C.) detail - Minoan fresco depicting a saffron harvest, Akrotiri, Santorini island, Greece

@Jezibaba Beautiful, Isn't it? Eos is a liminal goddess existing in between night and day, so she harmonizes fire (sun) and water (dew). Eos is also a goddess of war, wisdom, and desire, who lustily took many lovers. Patriarchal interpretations portrayed these amorous pursuits as a goddess out of control and a kidnapper of mortal men; however, the aphrodisiac quality of the spice with which she is linked demonstrates the connections between desire, love, and the empowered feminine"

@Blue_Skyesr_here Thank you! I was unfamiliar with her. Now I'm certain I never should have been. Beautiful piece.
