What if I made all the stars go out for me?

And today, massive insomnia and being woken rather jarringly by the property manager knocking on the door to ask if now was a good time for her to fix the fan in the bathroom (it was not). My brain has felt like a cloudy chalkboard ever since. I really hope this fifth-century electrum stater from Kyzikos does portray Odysseus sacrificing a ram as part of the ritual of drawing up the dead in Book 11 of the Odyssey. I will never be able to own it, but its existence in the world will delight me.

Sympathy on the insomnia, it's been the story of my week. And yeah, been woken that way wouldn't have been my favourite thing either.

Being me rather than you, I kind of adore the design on the reverse of the stater.

Either way, why the tuna?
