the earliest recorded named cat lived over 3000 years ago in egypt and was called ‘nedjem’ which means sweetie

#I hope this is true via @dead-men-talking

As an Egyptologist, can verify. Here are the entries in the TLA Worterbuch to back me up:

@manticoreimaginary @dwellerinthelibrary @nyebevans

“… cats, unlike dogs, were not given names. The only exception seems to be the cat in the tomb of Puimre at Thebes (TT 39), dated to the reign of Thutmose III (1479-1425 BC), which is called Nedjem (or Nedjemet, if female), ‘Sweet’ or ‘Pleasant;’ the figure of the cat is, unfortunately, almost completely lost.”

EMPUSA

In Greek mythology, Empusa is a shape-shifting female being, commanded by Hecate, whose precise nature is obscure. In Aristophane’s plays she is said to change appearance from various beasts to a woman. Empusa is also said to be one-legged, having one brass leg, or a donkey’s leg, thus being known by the alias Onokole. Empousa was thought to seduce and crave young men for the freshness and purity of their blood, prompting an interpretation as

The Severed Head of Medusa by artist Damien Hirst is made of a single piece of crystal glass that took three months to cool in an oven. This final product is the fifth attempt at molding the work from molten crystal; the first four cracked in the cooling process.

[1/1] mythology ➝ greek
In the begining there was only chaos. Then out of the void appeared Erebus, the unknowable place where death dwells, and Night. All else was empty, silent, endless, darkness. Then somehow Love was born bringing a start of order. From Love came Light and Day. Once there was Light and Day, Gaea, the earth appeared.
