@engineeringstephen it's raining and I crashed into a parked car riding home drunk last night and slept most of the evening where I landed, before going home then staggering in this morning to deal with a bunch of people whining that one of the VAXstations got turned off yesterday by someone looking for a light switch and now their batch jobs which had been running for 6 weeks all have to be restarted, and did they write 2 extra minutes of code to save their state? Noooo course they didn't. So now they all hate me even though as I said, I was drunk and it looked like a light switch, so it was hardly my fault... And I blamed the cleaners anyway. I need another jug of coffee and 3 hours at the Fenton for dinner. Anyone coming or am I on my own?

@SinclairSpeccy And since I am posting, more #Leeds / #LeedsUniversity - An #ADM5 in 1987, I believe :)

@SinclairSpeccy #LeedsUniversity #Leeds Terminal Room, around 1989.

There are a whole load of TVI920Bs in there, but they are all out of the damned frame :)

Today I learned (from my colleague Emma Stafford's inaugural professorial lecture) that one tradition of #Herakles and his nephew #Iolaos fighting the many-headed #Hydra is that #Hera sent a crab to nip at Herakles's ankles to make his job even harder.

My great contribution to #Classical scholarship for today is that although the octopedal pincher looks small, it represents all the #admin jobs that Herakles had to get through before he could get anything done on the actual Second Labour, and is the main explanation for why he had to get Iolaos in to do the main job.

The subject of the figural decoration of this hydria is Herakles and Iolaos slaying the Hydra.
Painted in black figure, the scene occupies the upper register on the body of the vessel between the two side handles. Herakles approaches from the right grasping one of the heads of the nine-headed, bearded Hydra with his left hand and raising his club with his right. Herakles is armored in a corslet and greaves. To his right, a large crab pinches Herakles' heel. Iolaos rushes forward from the left grasping one of the Hydra heads with his left hand and preparing to cut it off with the sickle he brandishes in his right. Underneath Iolaos is a small fire. On the reverse of the vessel, two sphinxes flank the vertical back handle, striding away from the center.
