I can see them adopting Latin artwork, it makes sense
>greece
>jupiter
Jagganath is considered an aspect of Shiva
they stole Hermes for angles and cupid for cherub art
yeah right dangerous dan
he is definitely an older, local god
of tribal people
no they're actually cupids
or nikes
even in medieval christian art
handing out laurel crowns of victory
jeebus has that power
I mean they use them from greek mythology
I thought cherubs lead to the popular envisioning of cupid
rather than the other way round
I cannot tell cupid apart from the christian depictions based on old roman art
maybe I'm misremembering
cupids tug at the heels of kings as kings are descended from venus
the winged smaller angels are something different
Cupid delux
as angel means 'winged messenger' in Iranian
hermes is a god
they use the exact same art
i forgot who presents the crowns of victory from nike
@infinitycoda \m/
but anyway, I am just supporting what you said about christians adopting greco-roman art style
they adopted greco roman almost everything
like I said, it is essentially a bastard religion
churches are modeled after roman basilicas where you go up and crawl toward the emperor
early cathedrals essentially are roman temples from what I understand
the temples were abandoned. they are impeerial basilicas
where you meet the emperor's personal god: jesus
I saw some in italy that were modified buildings
who's will is one and teh same with the emperor as the emperor is the emperor as he is the most virtuous just like jesus
\m/
alright, that is probably it
DO you want to play a game, @infinitycoda ?
all of this is a catch 22
what
I'll play the first 5 seconds of something, and you have to tell me what it is
