@_RickConnor Yes, that's correct — a paradox is called a paradox precisely because it leads to a contradiction or an unsolvable situation, at least under current logic or assumptions.

@Michael_Lambda 3/ And there is no logical proof by which you can prove that any one of the above 4 options is correct.

Theseus’ ship Paradox Theseus’ legendary ship was preserved by the Athenians for hundreds of years. Over the years, some of the parts began to rot and were replaced. Eventually, all of its parts have been replaced. Is the ship of Theseus’ still the same ship?⛵️ #SundayThoughts

@bixlereid By the way, regarding the reverse with Heracles, I found a similar coin online that seems to have the inscription **Maharajasa Apadihatasa Lisiasa** in Kharosthi script (Of the undefeated king Lysias).

@Michael_Lambda Then he also brought along his lineal lines to Hercules? Back to Indus and India area?

@Michael_Lambda can you read these dies for striking coins? Someone received these from his father in Pakistan. I think it’s Alexander the Great from when he conquered the Indus Valley area? It came with Indus Valley civilization artifacts of the same time. I recognize Tamil

@bixlereid Exactly! Lysias was one of the Indo-Greek kings, ruling around 130–120 BCE, about 200 years after Alexander.

@Michael_Lambda So after Alexander?

Just watched The Return (2024)—a brilliant reimagining of Odysseus' life after returning to Ithaca. A tale of homecoming, legacy and facing the ghosts of the past. #thereturn🏺🎥 But where were the gods?

@Zenaib_Abaid You got me 🤦🏼‍♂️

In Greek mythology, Typhon, the father of all monsters, was a storm giant with a hundred serpent heads who unleashed devastating storms and terror. But Zeus made sure this storm didn’t last long.  🌪️ #hurricanemilton2024

@odonnellhugh My posts staged a rebellion, demanding better writing . After negotiations, we reached a compromise.✌️

@Michael_Lambda I’m puzzled why I didn’t see your posts for a long while. 🤷‍♂️

Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them. Anacharsis,6th BC #SocialJusticeDay

@CalverVictor Hey Victor! I heard about this 👌

@Michael_Lambda Hi Michael …. Hope you are well, long time since you popped up on my timeline…. There’s the new Alexander series “drama/documentary” on Netflix …. Unsure of the accuracy but very good

When  Darius III of Persia  offer of an alliance, the hand of his daughter in marriage and all Minor Asia, Parmenion,one of Alexander's generals, said "If I were Alexander, I should accept what was offered" . To which Alexander replied, "So would I, if I were Parmenion."

@ankastkats2 Without a doubt!

@Michael_Lambda He would say that, wouldn’t he?

Death is nothing to us. When we exist, death is not; and when death exists,we are not. All sensation and consciousness ends with death and therefore in death there is neither pleasure nor pain. The fear of death arises from the belief that in death,there is awareness. Epicurus

@Michael_Lambda "In future whenever you communicate with me, send to me as king of Asia; do not write to me as an equal, but state your demands to the master of all your possessions. If not, I shall deal with you as a wrongdoer"

@narachamesuke @MichaelWoodMV It was captivating and informative!

@Michael_Lambda have you watched @MichaelWoodMV 's film on Alexander ....... and what do u think of it 😊

When King Midas judged a satyr’s music superior to Apollo’s, the god turned Midas's ears into those of a donkey. Unable to keep the secret, his barber whispers it into a hole in the ground.  Reeds grew and one can still hear them whispering : "Midas has donkey's ears". 👑 🌾 🎶

@mikro_arkoudi86 Και σε σένα!

@Michael_Lambda Καλή εβδομάδα!

@bixlereid To die, - To sleep, - To sleep! Perchance to dream: - ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; William Shakespeare,

@Michael_Lambda In death, every shadow experiences promised new life, we witness this miracle of this immortality, but allow those senses to be diminished and distorted by less than intelligent, intelligent men. Are we their weaker minded foes? I’m not Michael… how bout you?

"Cancer" comes from the Greek word for crab, karkinos. The Greeks, describing it, saw swollen blood vessels and tumors, thinking it resembled the limbs of a crab. 🦀 #WorldCancerDay

Anaxarete was a princess of Cyprus who rejected the love of the shepherd Iphis. She made fun of his feelings until he hanged himself . . When she mocked his funeral, Aphrodite turned her into a statue, preserved at Salamis in Cyprus, within the temple of Aphrodite. 💔 🗿
