They say that a picture is worth 1000 words. They are wrong. A picture is worth as much as the viewers' knowledge allowing to interpret what they see

Paphos, Paphos, Cyprus

Oh love, invincible in battle
you rule in every step you make.
You, who make young girls asleep in nights.
You, who can move across the seas
and get deep in yards.
No one escapes from you
No immortals, nor Gods.
You live in the body,
and driving it crazy.
You turn sane people, insane
and leading them to their end. "Antigone", by Sophocles
