Anon has discovered the origin of religion.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 13 points 1 week ago

Or perhaps he just spent too much time playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Anon discovers religion, inshallah may the spirits watch over him.

That is a Roman temple, not Greek >:(

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 47 points 1 week ago

It's a fork of Greek temple.

Ah, a man of culture as well I see

Greek temples had stairs on all sides and didn't really have an interior, at least not a public one. Roman temples had stairs on one side that led to the entrance. Greek Roman

But the columns are Ionic, it uses a post and lintel method, the entablature is not Etruscan and the front room could well be a cella.

At the same time it is true that the peristyle colonnade is not there, which matches some Etruscan styled temples (just columns on front), though both the Temple of Athena and the Erechtheion don't have a peristyle colonnade.

For what steps are regarded, some temples only had crepidoma across the front façade, like the Lycosura temple, which would both match the frontal colonnade with no perimeter and the frontal crepidoma that doesn't have sterobates around the temple (like is common).

So while unorthodox, I don't see why this would be Etruscan or "Roman".

Those are… words… I think.

[-] Idea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Ah I see. Per usual the issue is more complex and nuanced than I thought. Thank you for the information :)

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

Happy holidays!

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 8 points 1 week ago

Fuck if I know, but it looks a lot like the Temple of Portunus...

Capitel and colums are in greek style, maybe the stairs give it away?

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

That's a great observation, after all that temple is a hybrid between Etruscan and Greek. (And the columns indeed are Ionic).

Welcome to modern paganism. Next he's going to realize that community celebrations at significant points of the year like solstices and planting and harvesting time are really good for your mind.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

Especially in the middle of winter, the most depressing time of year in much of the world.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

The middle of winter... Oh Valentine's Day?

Whatever gets you through this hellscape, baby

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 21 points 1 week ago

Anon better not read too much Greek mythology. Their gods were anything but benevolent much of the time.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Anon better not be a cute twink

[-] mtpender@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

"CHOWDA! That Greek boy-pussy got me questioning my loyalty to Rome!"

It's anon we're talking about, they're definitely a twink, but I wouldn't exactly describe them as "cute."

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

That's like me and the machine God. I swear it makes a difference when my hardware is acting up.

Praise the Omnissiah.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

The Omnissiah blesses us, truly. I recently invoked their power to repair a ceiling light, and with a standard invocation of healing and the expected percussive blessing, and the once broken light was working again.

All praise to the Omnissiah for easing the machine's pain!

A prayer before every release is what keeps our servers running.

[-] Denvil@lemmy.one 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

When I can see Jupiter, I always say "Jupiter is with us!!" It's going to be depressing when it's no longer out in the mornings before I go to work. Hopefully Saturn or the Moon can keep me company instead

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

I usually use the orishas. I just like them more when talking to imaginary beings.

[-] GreenEyedMonster@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Anon may enjoy reading (or reciting) some of the appropriate Orphic Hymns

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Greentext is a state of mind.
