File:Gold earring with pendants. 4th-2nd cent. B.C.jpg

Hello George, having made an interwikilink (to the German language article), I was wondering, could there be a reason why there is only the amphoriskos (Q477146) and no English article. Have an enjoyable Sunday Goerge. . Lotje (talk) 06:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Good morning, Lotjeǃ Amphoriskos in Greek means small/tiny amphora. So, the article about Amphora covers anything one needs to know about this type of a vase. I hope you have a wonderful day. Cheersǃ ː-) George E. Koronaios (talk) 10:16, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello George, if you have a spare minute, could you take a look at this file? Thank you so much. Have a nice day. Lotje (talk) 10:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Very similar to this one if you ask me. Lotje (talk) 10:51, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, Lotje, it is about the same subject. Check this out also. You may find the museum inscription useful (File:Votive relief of the "funerary banquet " type (4th cent. B.C.) at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens on 22 July 2018.jpg). Cheersǃ George E. Koronaios (talk) 23:42, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much George, I added some file to other categories. If, in your opinion, that is incorrect, please feel free to revert. Have an enjoyable day George. Lotje (talk) 06:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Always a pleasure, Lotje. You tooǃ George E. Koronaios (talk) 07:28, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello George, only me again should iyo this file be added to the Category:Nekrodeipnos? Thanks. Lotje (talk) 11:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

You are going to love this. Check this out and make your own conclusion. The person who made the drawing had as a model the image I am posting you below. Also, the answer to your question is yesː File:Votive relief of the funerary banquet type from Eleusis (4th cent. B.C.) at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens on 22 July 2018.jpg George E.

Good morning George. You are correct, I do like this :-) The only thing intriguing is the presence of the horsehead and the boy with the discus lik here. So, has this something to do with the Olympic games, I wonder, though... :-) Have an wonderful day in Athens. Lotje (talk) 06:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Good morning, Lotje. I cannot identify the statue of this female discus-thrower. No women were allowed to participate in the Olympic Games. Check out "Kallipateira" in Wikipedia. I am also aware that in ancient Sparta women trained in sports like men in order to become strong and healthy mothers of strong and healthy men.

In regards to the sculpture with the boy the discus and the horse, it does not necessarily mean that the games which the deceased was possibly related to were the Olympics since there were three other games equally important (the Nemea, the Isthmia, and Pythia). Here too, however, I cannot positively say anything about the relation between them. Cheersǃ George E. Koronaios (talk) 07:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Pausanias (recording the story of how she was caught) states: ...as she was jumping over the enclosure in which they keep the trainers'... Lotje (talk) 10:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, she was not a discus-thrower. I meant, she was the only woman ever appeared in the games until then even as a spectator. George E. Koronaios (talk) 01:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

File:Leopard 1 Mine Sweeper in Athens on March 25, 2024.jpg

Hello George, some confusion at my end here . Is this a Leopard 1 mine clearing vehicle or a minesweeping vehicle? Thank you so much. Lotje (talk) 14:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Check this our, Lotje. It is a minesweeping vehicle. This is how the manufacturer describes itː https://www.ffg-flensburg.de/en/products/modernizations/leopard-1-family-vehicles/ George E. Koronaios (talk) 01:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Hahaha. the Flensburger Fahrzeugbau,... military tactics? To deceive the enemy I guess. Cheers George, have a wonderful day ahead. Lotje (talk) 04:51, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
