Sharing Some Of My Culture Today

Sharing some of my culture today🫶

So im Italian, like said in description and most specific, southern Italian. From the city of Naples.

The story of our city, begins from the Odyssey or in the Tragedy of Orpheus and Euredyce. In the Odyssey the three sirens, Parthenope, Ligea and Laucosia, kill themselves because they couldnt kill Odysseus.

While in Orpheus and Euredyce, they were beated by Orpheus in singing skills so they killed themselves cuse of that.

Parthenope, drowns herself and the waters bring her body through the river Sebeto, arriving in the place where now there's Castel dell'Ovo, she was then the protector of the city that was built in the sea where her body was taken by the waves.

Here was built the statue of the siren. And thats why the city is not just called Naples, Napoli or Neapolis, but also Parthenope/Parthenopeas.

I will probably draw more of her and more about my culture.

Neoptolemus or Pyrrhus🗣️.

I find him interesting, like his father, not of course for what they have done, but for character per se.
