In Greek mythology, Tartarus was the place in Hades reserved for punishing the worst.在希臘神話中,塔爾塔羅斯是冥界中懲罰最惡人的地方。 德國未來總理已確認準備向烏克蘭發射金牛座飛彈。 弗里德里希·梅爾茨強調,其他盟友已經向基輔提供巡弋飛彈。

Germany’s future chancellor has confirmed his readiness to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
Friedrich Merz emphasized that other allies are already supplying cruise missiles to Kyiv.
“The British and the French are doing it. The Americans are doing it in any case. I have always said that I would proceed [with sending Taurus] only in coordination with our European partners,” he stated.
Taurus is a German-guided missile with a range of up to 500 km and a 500 kg warhead. It is equivalent to the British Storm Shadow and French SCALP-EG, which are already in use by the Ukrainian army.

n. Greek Mythology
The river across which the souls of the dead are ferried, one of the five rivers in Hades.

[Latin, from Greek Stux.]

In Greek mythology, a river of the underworld. The name comes from a Greek word that denotes both hatred and extreme cold, and it expresses loathing of death. In the epics of Homer, the gods swore by the water of Styx as their most binding oath. Hesiod personified Styx as the daughter of Oceanus and the mother of Emulation, Victory, Power, and Might. The ancients believed that its water was poisonous and would dissolve any vessel except one made of the hoof of a horse or an ass.

AI Overview
Mythos and Logos represent two distinct, complementary modes of understanding the world. Mythos is narrative-driven, symbolic, and deals with meaning, origin, and deep human truths, often through stories. Logos is rational, logical, empirical, and practical, focusing on scientific explanation, facts, and argumentation.
Key Differences:
  • Definition & Approach:
    • Mythos: Relies on stories, legends, and "foundational tales" to provide meaning and navigate the psyche. It doesn't claim to be objective fact, but rather true in its effectiveness and psychological impact.
    • Logos: Relies on reason, observation, and analysis. It is the technical, pragmatic mode of thought used to manipulate or navigate the physical environment.
  • Historical Context: In ancient Greece, thought shifted from a mythos-dominated worldview (Homer/Hesiod) to a logos-driven one (Socrates/Plato/Aristotle), prioritizing argument over narrative.
  • Function: Mythos asks why something matters and gives a sense of purpose; Logos asks how something works and gives practical control.
  • Relationship: They are not entirely oppositional; mythos often provides the emotional/psychological framework for what logos then explains or justifies.
While Enlightenment thought often denigrated mythos in favor of logos, many thinkers argue that both are necessary, as logic alone cannot satisfy human needs for meaning.
logos
(Greek, statement, principle, law, reason, proportion)

n.
  1. Philosophy.
    1. In pre-Socratic philosophy, the principle governing the cosmos, the source of this principle, or human reasoning about the cosmos.
    2. Among the Sophists, the topics of rational argument or the arguments themselves.
    3. In Stoicism, the active, material, rational principle of the cosmos; nous. Identified with God, it is the source of all activity and generation and is the power of reason residing in the human soul.
  2. Judaism.
    1. In biblical Judaism, the word of God, which itself has creative power and is God's medium of communication with the human race.
    2. In Hellenistic Judaism, a hypostasis associated with divine wisdom.
  3. Christianity. In Saint John's Gospel, especially in the prologue (1:1–14), the creative word of God, which is itself God and incarnate in Jesus. Also called Word.

Werner Hofmann (1928-2013), Nana : Mythos und Wirklichkeit, Köln, M. Dumont Schauberg, 1973. 邦訳:ヴェルナー・ホーフマン『ナナ マネ・女・欲望の時代』水沢勉訳、パルコ出版局、 1991



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nana_(painting)
Both the title and the numerous details suggest that the picture represents a high class prostitute and her client. "Nana" was a popular assumed name for female prostitutes during the second half of the 19th century (much like the connotation "Candy" has had for English-speakers more recently). Even today the French word "nana" is used to describe a frivolous woman (or simply "a female" in argot[1]).
Wiki 的 "argot",英文版、日文版都很有意思!



Nana is a painting by French painter Édouard Manet. It was completed in 1877 and was refused at the Salon of Paris the same year. The work is now at the Kunsthalle Hamburg art museum in Germany.

Werner Hofmann (August 8, 1928 in Vienna - 13 March 2013 in Hamburg) was an Austrian art historian, cultural journalist, writer, curator and museum director, who is "considered by his colleagues as one of the most distinguished European scholars of modern art and its ideology."[1]

Hofmann is known for having connected two schools of art history: the Vienna School with the Hamburg School. According to the Dictionary of Art Historians, his "work was highly interdisciplinary, drawing examples from music, philosophy and literature to elucidate what were in many cases well-known works of art in new ways. This non-linear, a-historical (but not anti-historical) view of art history influenced a generation of modernist art historians who viewed their art works thematically rather than as a series of style changes."
