Gorgeous! Actually in Dan Brown's the Lost Symbol -- there is a wonderful description of some of the Interesting Items and Artworks throughout the Washington Capitol. Including the Apotheosis of Washington -- completed in 1865 by Constantino Brumidi. Fascinating!
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
