HAND STORIES: THE ODYSSEY

The Early Dawn was born; her fingers bloomed.
                                         
Homer
Translation, Emily Wilson



In the The Odyssey many chapters begin with a description of dawn as rosy fingered -  the goddess using her hands to create sunrise.  
The modern hand standing in for Eos (Greek) / Aurora (Roman) is Stephanie Ruseckas who has filled her lovely garden with roses.  

The daylight begins by chasing away the stars.

  1. Wow, this is like a throwback to when you were doing so many hands, but in an all new style. Really beautiful.
