Our Avatars change all the time, so none of you faces scream "REPOST!!11", please. I'm interested. :o
Mine is a painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme - Phryne revealed before the Areopagus. I have a print of the gorgeous paitning hung in our house.
If anyone cares to know the story, here it is:
| quote: | | When accused of profaning the Eleusinian Mysteries, she was defended by the orator Hypereides, one of her lovers. When it seemed as if the verdict would be unfavourable, Hypereides tore open her robe and displayed her body, most notably her breasts, which so moved them that they acquitted her. According to others, Phryne herself removed her own clothing. The judges' change of heart was not simply because they were overcome by the beauty of her naked body, but because such unusual physical beauty was often seen as a facet of divinity or a mark of divine favor during those times. |

I'm sorry. =(
I used to work directly with people who have had a Laryngectomy, who used to buy voice prosthesis devices from us. I sympathize greatly with such people having had many an experience dealing with them.
Are you using anything to restore your voice? |
