#Acrocorinth

[mykristeva]

Phrase-Book

Words are a monstrous excrescence. Everything green is extended. It is apricot, orange, lemon, olive and cherry, and other snakes in the linguistic grass; also a white touch of marble which evokes no ghosts, the taste of squid, the... Go away. I shall call a policeman. Acrocorinth which evokes no goats under the lemon blossom.

World is a monstrous excrescence; he is following me everywhere, one Nescafé and twenty Athenes, everything green; I am not responsible for it. I don’t want to speak to you. Leave me alone. I shall stay here. I refuse a green extension. Beware. I have paid you. I have paid you enough, sea, sun, and octopodi. It is raining cats and allomorphs.

"Where" is the British Embassy.

Penteskoufi alias Lo castello de Malvicino presso a Coranto Korinthia 2018

hasselbladx1d #xcd120mm macro f/4 Iso 100 Besides, this particular castle has always been the bad neighbor (=mal vicino) for the neighboring Acrocorinth in conditions of siege…

From my project "Chateaux Forts de Grece".

In 2006 the fortresses were exhibited at the Byzantine Museum, ''Byzantines Fortress in Greece'' then, in 2007 the French Embassy in Athens undertook major exhibitions on the ''Fortresses of Greece''-''Chateaux forts de Grece'' in Rhodes, Kalamata, Patras, Athens, Nafplio. The malvicino soit mauvais oeil, was built by the Flemish knight Jacques d'Avesnes in 1204 at the beginning of the great siege of Acrocorinth by the Franks (1204-1209) (mainly Lombards), by the King of Thessaloniki Boniface de Montferrat, leading figure of the Frankish conquest.

Alternate persona:

Poseidon ( mostly for Persona 2 and Persona 3 since they use Greek and Roman gods and myths ).

[ Akira obtains an alternate weapon, that being a Trident ( with his zodiac, the Pieces symbol marked in the center of the weapon ). Make him able to reach better and stab instead of death by a thousand cuts like his knife can. He holds the Trident somewhat like Kotone / Minako but is able to make his stance more lazier than the other's own. Sometimes only uses one hand to attack since his proficiency is maxed ]

Info and Background:

Poseidon is the god of the sea, oceans, storms and earthquakes and also one of the twelve Olympian deities of the pantheon in Greek mythology. His main domain is the ocean, and is called the "God of the Sea." Additionally, he is referred to as "Earth-Shaker" and "Storm-Bringer" due to his role in causing earthquakes and storms, and has been called the "Father of horses" as he created them from sea foam.

He is usually depicted as an older male with curly hair and beard. Poseidon is married to the sea goddess Amphitrite and together they had a son named Triton. He also had a child with Aphrodite, a daughter named Rhodos. Other notable children of him were the hero Theseus, the hunter Orion and the cyclops Polyphemus.

He is integrated into the Olympian gods as the brother of Zeus and Hades. Like his brother, Zeus, Poseidon has fathered numerous children and is quick to punish those who have "wronged" him. Poseidon is a horrifying and avenging god and must be honored even when he is not the patron deity of the city. He is described as a majestic scary and avenging monarch of the sea. As god of the sea Poseidon is also god of fishing and especially of sea-fishing.

In his benign aspect, Poseidon is seen as creating new islands and offering calm seas. When offended or ignored, he supposedly strikes the ground with his trident and caused chaotic springs, earthquakes, drownings and shipwrecks.

According to the myth, Helios and Poseidon clashed, both desiring to make a city their own. Their dispute was brought to one of the Hecatoncheires, Briareos, an elder god, who was thus tasked to settle the fight between the two gods. Briareus decided to award the Acrocorinth to Helios, while to Poseidon he gave the isthmus of Corinth. In this tale, Helios and Poseidon are supposed to represent fire versus water. Helios, as the sun god, received the area that is closest to the sky, while Poseidon, who is the sea god, got the isthmus by the sea.

Poseidon had both male and female lovers. The mighty monarch of the seven seas and the absolute ruler of all sea demons.

Attacks and abilities:

Poisedon can perform the water combo Acid Rain with Hydron and has the power WaterHoard.

THIS IS SO FUNNY....this old man used his son as bait, and had to wait until Nicaea literally turned her back, distracted by a famous musician as well as her wedding so he could race up to the Acrocorinth where he knocked on the doors with his staff and was so surprised and happy that this worked he couldn't stop partying.

#antigonus who's doing it like him #plutarch #but also Nicaea lmao what!!
