Imho if citizen can answer 3 multiple choice tasks about ones nation should be allowed near a vote

🌟Daedalus, Icarus, and Pasiphaë🌟
This #MosaicMonday we celebrate this gorgeously detailed mosaic panel. Pasiphaë, attended by a young woman and Trophos, watch on as Daedslus and Icarus work on a wooden effigy. Eros with a cheeky bull’s head are hidden under Pasiphaë’s stool.
Callum Armstrong and Rosa Fragorapti playing Orestes' Torment on aulos and lyre; old instruments, modern#music. The title refers to the Oresteia, a trilogy of tragedies in which Orestes is faced with many moral dilemmas, foremost being avenging his father's murder, meaning committing matricide (it was his mother who killed him), which results in being pursued by the Furies and driven mad. A tangled business.
