Before everything
At times, the original flora [of Palestine] manages to return in surprising ways. Pine trees were planted not only over bulldozed houses, but also over fields and olive groves. In the new development town of Migdal Ha-Emek, for example, the JNF did its utmost to try and cover the ruins of the Palestinian village of Mujaydil, at the town’s eastern entrance, with rows of pine trees, not a proper forest in this case but just a small wood. Such ‘green lungs’ can be found in many of Israel’s development towns that cover destroyed Palestinian villages (Tirat Hacarmel over Tirat Haifa, Qiryat Shemona over Khalsa, Ashkelon over Majdal, etc.). But this particular species failed to adapt to the local soil and, despite repeated treatment, disease kept afflicting the trees. Later visits by relatives of some of Mujaydial’s original villagers revealed that some of the pine trees had literally split in two and how, in the middle of their broken trunks, olive trees had popped up in defiance of the alien flora planted over them fifty-six years ago.
—Ilan Pappé, from The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
“The oldest olive tree in the world located on the island of Crete. It is estimated to be as over 3,000 years old and still produces olives.”

Apollo coming to see Helios and the dawn just stood talking: Guys? What the fuck? It’s the day? Why is there no sun in the sky??
Helios: Look over that horizon and tell me you wanna go out there.
Apollo looks over the horizon to see Athena stood there, fully battle clad, boss music playing, fully ready to kill so Odysseus and Penelope can cuddle a little longer.
Apollo: … Fuck that.
When people say shippers are weird, remember that Athena strangled the Sun and the Dawn away from the sky so her OTP can cuddle longer 🥰
P/S: Eos is the goddess of dawn and the sister of Helios.
