“Hercules Furens,” adapted, directed, and choreographed by John Farmanesh-Bocca. The Miles Memorial Playhouse, 2013. Photo by Anthony Roldan


Hercules is known for his monumental strength and immense fortitude, today this Greek hero himself would be dwarfed by the strength and durability of Metal Roofing, a trend that will make you feel protected by the Greek gods themselves.


A Beautiful Wedding Photography Season


Can you imagine a future where we could have contemplated the majestic strength and imposing Hercules (?) In the meantime everything is left to the imagination, with Fame Park this is over, no more imagining, just contemplating the beautiful moments captured.


Soror Tonantis – hōc enim sōlum mihi


nōmen relictum est – semper aliēnum Iovem


ac templa summī vidua dēseruī aetheris,


locumque caelō pulsa paelicibus dedī;


tellūs colenda est, paelicēs caelum tenent.                 5


hinc Arctos altā parte glaciālis polī


sublīme classēs sīdus Argolicās agit;


hinc, quā recentī vēre laxātur diēs,


Tyriae per undās vector Eurōpae nitet;


illinc timendum ratibus ac pontō gregem                   10


passim vagantēs exserunt Atlantidēs.


ferrō mināx hinc terret Ōrīōn deōs


suāsque Persēus aureus stēllās habet;


hinc clāra geminī signa Tyndaridae micant


quibusque nātīs mōbilis tellūs stetit.                           15


nec ipse tantum Bacchus aut Bacchī parēns


adiēre superōs: nē qua pars probrō vacet,


mundus puellae serta Cnōsiacae gerit.


Sed sēro querimur; ūna mē dīra ac fera


Thēbāna tellūs mātribus sparsa impiīs                        20


quotiēns novercam fēcit! ēscendat licet


meumque uictrīx teneat Alcmēnē locum,


pariterque nātus astra prōmissa occupet,


in cuius ortūs mundus impendit diem


tardusque Eōō Phoebus effulsit marī                          25


retinēre mersum iussus Ōceanō iubar,


nōn sīc abībunt odia; vīvācēs aget


violentus īrās animus, et saevus dolor


aeterna bella pāce sublātā geret.
