Ancient Egyptians divided dreams into three categories: demands from the gods, warnings from the gods, & those that came during dream rituals. Anyone who sought divine wisdom would go to temples to sleep on "dream beds," hoping to recieve guiding messages. #TempleThursday

A legend tells that when Hades touched the garland of daffodils adorning Persephone’s head, as he stole her away to the Underworld, the flowers turned from white to yellow. Persephone was only permitted to return to the Earth each year, when the daffodils bloomed. #FolkloreSunday
In Greek mythology Chloris, a flower nymph, is the wife of Zephyrus, the gentle, youthful god of the west wind. Her name comes from Greek χλωρός, meaning ‘yellow’ or ‘pale green’, and associates her with the burgeoning young, fresh growth & flowers of #spring. #LegendaryWednesday
It is said the flower goddess Chloris transformed a wood nymph’s lifeless body into a flower. Aphrodite bestowed it with beauty, and Dionysus, a sweet perfume. Zephyrus blew away the clouds to allow the sun god Apollo to shine upon it, thus creating the first rose. #RoseWednesday
