Mystery 10: solved
Ines, Annalisa and Serena tried to solve Mistery 10. Is it correct?
1*
The greek poet who cites "nowan" in history is Homerus.
2*
This poem is from Sappho. This is the translation in our language.
"C'è chi dice sia un esercito di cavalieri, c'è chi dice sia un esercito di fanti,
c'è chi dice sia una flotta di navi, la cosa più bella
sulla nera terra, io invece dico
che è ciò che si ama"
4*
Love is a sentiment that has no limits or boundaries, any obstacle in the immensity and relax. 's Love, the most beautiful feelings, the one that warms the heart in the gray days of life who listens to you when you fear Him who knows when you hug of Endearment, shut inside the heart that one reaches the indefinite every heartbeat .. love is first of all feel one with the other to reach a cosmic balance where stars can be touched with the fingers and dreams come true .. Love is one of the most beautiful feelings never die.
5*
Sonnet 24
Mine eye hath played the painter
Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is the painter's art.
For through the painter must you see his skill,
To find where your true image pictured lies;
Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still,
That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes.
Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done:
Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me
Are windows to my breast, where-through the sun
Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee;
Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art;
They draw but what they see, know not the heart.
~ William Shakespeare ~

Solutions of second enigma
Hello our names are Mariano and Daniel
Enigma 1
HOMINEM MORTUUM en Urbe NEVE SEPELITO NEVE URITO"
No dead man may be cremated nor buried in the City
It means the Twelve Tables and is in the city of Rome
Enigma2
Loculus is a Latin word literally meaning little place and was used in a number of senses including to indicate a satchel
Cubiculum: an underground burial chamber in Imperial Rome, such as those found in the catacombs
An arcosolium is an arched recess used as a place of entombment.
Lucernarium: Each of the openings in the ceiling provided light in the catacombs to the ambulatory.
Criptae: a crypt is a chamber of rock, typically under the floor of a church
Enigma 3
Lara founds in the catacombs of Rome
Kriophoroi and "The Good Shepherd"
"Christ, the Good Shepherd",[9] illustrating the pericope in the Gospel of John, and also the second-century Christian literary work The Shepherd of Hermas
The Good Shepherd is a common motif from the Catacombs of Rome (Gardner, 10, fig 54) and in sarcophagus reliefs, where Christian and pagan symbolism is often combined, making secure identifications difficult. The theme does appear in the wall-paintings of the baptistery of the house-church at Dura-Europos before 256 CE, and more familiarly in sixth-century Christian mosaics, as in the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia at Ravenna, and there is a famous free-standing sculpture, said to be of about 300AD, and made for a Christian, in the Vatican Museums.

Amalthea
Amalthea:

Sculpture of marble realized by Bernini between 1615 and 1616. It measures 45 cm of height and remains in the Galleria Borghese, Rome.

The Borghese Gallery is an art gallery in Rome, Italy, housed in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana, a building that was from the first integral with its gardens, nowadays considered quite separately by tourists as the Villa Borghese gardens.
Myth:
In Greek mythology, Amalthea or Amaltheia is the most often mentioned among foster-mothers of Zeus. Her name in Greek is clearly an epithet, signifying the presence of an earlier nurturing goddess, whom the Hellenes, whose myths we know, knew to be located in Crete, where Minoans may have called her a version of "Dikte". Amalthea is sometimes represented as the goat who suckled the infant-god in a cave in Cretan Mount Aigaion ("Goat Mountain"), sometimes as a goat-tending nymph of uncertain parentage (the daughter of Oceanus, Haemonius, Olenos, or - according to Lactantius — Melisseus), who brought him up on the milk of her goat. Having multiple and uncertain mythological parents, indicates wide worship of a deity in many cultures having varying local traditions. Amalthea becomes blurred with Adamanthea at times.
Modal:
In the mythology, Capricorn is associated often with the mythological figure of the goat Amaltea, which nursed and raised Zeus in the island of Crete to hide it from Stopwatches, his father, who was devouring his children. When Zeus, already adult, fought against the Titans, an armor was made by the skin of this mythical goat, which would turn into the Aegis, Zeus's shield forged by Hefesto, god of the fire. First Zeus donated this shield to Apollo, and then to his daughter Atenea, goddess of the war.

Amalthea also is a company that is employed at consultancy, engineering and softtware.

My favourite fairy
Hi ! I´m Aranza and I'll give you the answers to the mystery number 8 =)
I´m going to analize the six fairies of the animated cartoons knowed as the Winx.
* What are the names of the six female protagonists?
* Their names are: Bloom, Flora, Stella, Musa, Tecna and Layla.
* Why are they so called? Which are their atributs and fantastic powers?
FLORA: Being a lover of plants and nature, her room resembles a greenhouse. She has the power of nature


MUSA: In the Greek mitology is the muse of dance. She is depicted with a stringed musical instrument: a viola or a lyre.


STELLA: I am not sure the powers of stella and I find no reference

TECNA: Tecna is always logical and rational and had trouble expressing her emotions. Used to speaking with technical and intellectual conversation. She's smart and very skilled in technology and mathematics subjects.
BLOOM: I think the powers are fire, I´m not sure

LAYLA: seems like name is of Egyptian origin, meaning born at night.
and his skin is dark

* I think there are some criatures and characters related with greek mythology, isn’t it? Can you find them? In which way do you think they’ve already changed from their original features?
* There are some mythological characters such as:

Centaurs-->Centaurs Beings are half man and half horse living in wild nature, they feed on raw meat and hunt their prey with sticks and stones.

* There are some mythological characters such as:
the sirens--> that hypnotized people with their songs.the characteristics of the sirens in Greek mythology is similar to the sirens of the cartoons. The difference is that the sirens winx cast eye rays

Centaurs-->Centaurs Beings are half man and half horse living in wild nature, they feed on raw meat and hunt their prey with sticks and stones.
Compared to the ancient greek mythology, there is a difference between the centaur that appears in the series and the wellknowed centaur Chiron, the first was bad and the second was good.The Centaurs are best known for their fight with the Lapithae, caused by their attempt to carry off Hippodamia and the rest of the Lapith women, on the day of her marriage to Pirithous, king of the Lapithae, himself the son of Ixion. The strife among these cousins is a metaphor for the conflict between the lower appetites and civilized behavior in humankind.

the unicorn--> is a mythical animal protagonist of many stories and legends. In the Middle Ages was considered a fabulous animal that can defeat an elephant. Furthermore, it was said that with its single horn could purify contaminated water to make them drinkable.mixture over the goat Amalthea Mythological Pegasus led the unicorn

* Choose one of the legendary characters and make your own modern version. Tell me a little bit about her or his. You can write it, paint it or film the new story in order to publish it in my planet.
I´m not going to do this. I´m going to writte the begining of a history. I want you to continue it. I tell you later, don´t worry ! ! !
