Hi all! Things are unusually busy in my non-“That Is Priceless” world this week, so I’m taking a break from originals and posting five “throwback” Masterpieces that date back to this very week in previous years. Enjoy!
Hero Theseus, trapped in a maze / (where the Minotaur, on victims preys), / by Ariadne was saved, / but he then misbehaved / and defied all romantic clichés. /// Ariadne on Naxos was left / by her Theseus. She was bereft. / Dionysus laid claim / to the half-naked dame. / Was she “won” by compassion or theft? /// Some have said Dionysus, a god, / lusted after the young lady’s bod. / He made Theseus leave, / (so these sources believe). / Was her Theseus hero, or fraud?
I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here (2 times, including this Throwback Monday repeat).

Is that a leach on her right nipple, or some sort of torture device?
