Inscriptions

Here's a quote from Tzonis & Giannisi's Classical Greek Architecture: the Construction of the Modern. (This is a stunning book.) On a drinking cup in a child's grave the following inscription:
"[I am] the famous drinking cup of Nestor. Whoever drinks from this cup, straightaway the desire of Aphrodite of the beautiful garland will seize him."
Aphrodite of the beautiful garland. Wow!

Add INSCRIPTIONS to stellae and knotted topo canvas, ideas that might be accumulating as "small, random events early in the process" of the next, possibly path-dependent project…
