Francisco Goya, Saturn Devouring His Son, ~1820

"Diogenes made a virtue of poverty. He begged for a living and slept in a large stone jar in the marketplace. He became notorious for his philosophical stunts such as carrying a lamp in the daytime, claiming to be looking for an honest man. He embarrassed Plato, disputed his interpretation of Socrates and sabotaged his lectures. Diogenes was also responsible for publicly mocking Alexander the Great."

Jean-Léon Gérôme, Diogenes, 1860

Michelangelo, Pietà, 1499

"The Erinyes [called the Furies in Ancient Rome] were the punishers of sinners, called 'those who walk in darkness.' Weeping tears of blood and hissing with hair of vipers, they would descend like a storm. As long as there was sin in the world, they could not be banished." ~ Aeschylus
