Here’s Melinoë out for a stroll:
Here’s sexy Arachne:
Here’s swingin’ Erigone:
Here’s Herakles hugging a rhyton:
Here’s Apollo Soranos, still wondering how he got conscripted into the thiasos:
Here’s the Dionysian retinue reveling in Detroit:
Here’s Taras, stylish as ever on his dolphin mount:
Here’s Arlecchino – such a trickster, that one:
Here’s Orpheus:
Here’s Saint Paul:
Here’s Johnny B:
Here’s the prophet Melampos:
