Greek philosophy is the decadence of the Greek instinct: Thucydides is the great summing up, the final manifestation of that strong, severe positivism which lay in the instincts of the ancient Hellene. After all, it is courage in the face of reality that distinguishes such natures as Thucydides from Plato: Plato is a coward in the face of reality— consequently he takes refuge in the ideal: Thucydides is master of himself— consequently he is able to master life.

The Jelling “Great Stone” (c. 965) has been laser-scanned to 0.1 mm accuracy. Digital epigrapher Martin Grønnesby counted 183 serpent scales on the left coil and 182 on the right, matching solar year halves. Midpoint scale sits exactly beneath the runic word jul (Yule), aligning with winter solstice. Copper pigment traces highlight every 30th scale, likely month markers.
Bluetooth’s inscription boasts: “Harald made Denmark Christian.” But the calendar snake quietly taught converts the church feast cycle—Easter falls 94 scales after Yule, pinpointed by an oversized boss. This fusion of pagan zoomorphics and Christian chronology eased conversion, turning a propaganda stone into a community planner.
No medieval document mentions the feature; its rediscovery via 3-D imagery shows Viking artisans embedding astronomical knowledge in public art. Visitors today snap selfies with the serpent, unaware they’re beside a granite smartwatch that has kept perfect solar time for 1,060 years. #jellingrunestone

According to Hesiod and the Homeric hymn on Aphrodite, the goddess after rising from the foam first approached the island of Cythera, and thence went to Cyprus, and as she was walking on the sea-coast flowers sprang up under her feet, and Eros and Himeros accompanied her to the assembly of the other great gods, all of whom were struck with admiration and love when she appeared, and her surpassing beauty made every one desire to have her for his wife.
