The name of the Thalia Theater is the same as that of the Dione neighborhood and a certain coffee house, and they are also chosen from gods in Greek mythology. According to legend, the union of the main god Zeus and the goddess of memory Mnemosyne gave birth to the nine Muses.

Goddess, and Thalia is in charge of the drama.

Naming buildings and neighborhoods after ancient Greek and Roman mythological gods and ancient Roman emperors is a habit developed by the residents of Constantinople who rebuilt their homes on the ruins. So in addition to the Thalia Theater on Theia Street

In addition, there are more than a dozen theaters called Thalia in Constantinople.

However, whether in terms of scale or performance level, the Thalia Theater that was built more than a hundred years ago far surpassed them. This was unimaginable in the Middle Ages. Because this kind of behavior can be regarded as

Faith worships evil gods, and in Christianity, worshiping other gods means death.

Don’t think that Christians who were born as barbarians in Western Europe only did this. There were also many people in the East. In the past, I thought that since the Renaissance that began in the 15th century was due to the manuscripts lost by the Byzantine Empire and the escaped scholars and artists, then it was inherited

The culture of the Byzantine Empire in the robe of the Roman Empire must be very bright and brilliant. In fact, the answer is no. The culture of the Byzantine Empire is indeed brilliant, but this glory is only one-sided.

From the time the Roman Empire established Christianity as the state religion until its demise, for more than a thousand years, there was never another Quintus Horace Flaccus who wrote "The Art of Poetry" in the entire empire. No poet could achieve this.

Ovid's "Metamorphoses", "The Art of Love" and "Three Essays on Love" are of the same level, and no one is as good as Pubu

Lius Vigilius Marot wrote the magnificent masterpiece "The Aeneid" that is comparable to "Homer's Epic". Yes, neither the exquisite mosaic murals nor the magnificent cathedral can conceal that...

It is a fact that the culture of the Byzantine Empire in the millennium of civilization was a culture that was castrated by the church with a knife.

In the past, Italy was extremely rich because it was close to Constantinople and because it cheated the Roman Empire. Later, the collapse of the Roman Empire caused a large number of scholars and artists living in it to flee there, which in turn made the Italian peninsula a hotbed of the Renaissance.

.But in this world, Constantinople was not conquered, so after the Black Death, Constantinople became the largest birthplace of the Renaissance.

The son of my ex is very responsible for this. Although his original intention was to weaken the influence of the church and consolidate the imperial power, he indirectly promoted the collapse of the world's faith in the church! Pennywise, no, don't count.

Well, I think it is more appropriate to call her an artistic girl from now on. The artistic girl and a large group of art lovers are the biggest beneficiaries after that guy's troubles.

I took off my conspicuous robe and put it on the carriage. I asked the groom to take one of the waiters home to tell me the situation, and the other took my message to the literary girl's carriage and went to her house. After the arrangements were made, I came from behind

Catching up with the two art lovers in front of me.

In the distance, I saw Hans standing aside with a black line on his head. It turned out that a literary girl and a literary young man were talking about a very magical object.

"In ethics, Plotinus believes that the soul tends to nature and the soul overflows from the intellect. Plotinus also said that the soul as the third ontology is what Plato calls the world soul. It is an active force.

Its initiative is manifested in its constant change and activeness in various fields. When it is divided into individual things, it serves as the internal driving force to promote the change of things."

"Yes, Neoplatonism believes that there are two poles in the world. One end is the light source called God, and the other end is the darkness where the light source cannot shine. We are in it, but Neoplatonism emphasizes that complete darkness does not exist.

, it just lacks an opportunity to shine. Because our souls are closest to God, as long as we understand and practice, we can transform into light and merge with the light source called God!"

….I suddenly understood why Hans was standing here with a blank look on his face: “Are they discussing Neoplatonism?”

Hans turned back: "If I heard correctly, I think so."

"But isn't this doctrine that the saint Augustine learned from related to the construction of religious philosophy? What does a fountain statue holding a penis and peeing have to do with Plotinus's Neoplatonism?"

I suddenly noticed that Hans's face looked similar to the way Yao Ming smiled.

"Hehehe, yes, who knows what the connection is? I don't know either."

Before Hans could finish speaking, Frederick over there gave the answer: "The statue is so beautiful. The creator of the statue must have let God ignite the creative light of his soul through his own perception, so that he could create it."

Such beautiful art!”

When a literary girl from Rome meets a literary young man from Germany, the sparks generated between the two are enough to be described as blinding. From Constantine Square to Tia Street, two people encounter a century-old shop and they can learn from Socrates.

Talking about the Gauls, after talking about "Dutch Epic", we talked about an unprecedented book

I just happened to bump into an ancient statue from the Justinian period, and now I am talking endlessly about Procopius, a Roman historian at the end of classical antiquity, who wrote about Justinian the Great in "The War"

There is a huge contrast between the praise of Emperor Justinian and the criticism of Emperor Justinian in The Secret History.

After all, I consider myself an intellectual young man with five thousand years of knowledge and hundreds of years of knowledge. But facing these two people, I resigned myself to being inferior and stood far away, pretending that I didn't know them.

When we arrived at the Grand Theater, the artistic girl finally remembered that there was a person like me. She seemed to be in a good mood, smiling like a little fox, "Why are you still here in a daze? Go buy tickets quickly! I want four tickets! They are the best."

!”

The shape of the current theater was developed from the ancient Greek open-air theater. The semi-circular structure allows the audience to see the performance on the stage no matter where they sit in the auditorium. Ordinary tickets in the front row sell more than those in the back row.

It is more expensive, and the number of private rooms and premium rooms is limited.

, very few people can buy tickets without making a reservation. So the artistic girl really posed a problem for me, but I know that this is not deliberately making things difficult for her. I think she usually has a housekeeper or family member to make arrangements at the theater.

I don't know the rules of the theater.

As expected, we arrived very early today, but all the tickets for the private rooms were sold out, while the general tickets were basically empty.

If Morris is around, there is only one solution to this non-problem. I dare say, that guy will immediately blurt out "Let's go rob, how about? Find a sack, cover your face, and squat in a remote corner."

, stop the carriage, and you have the ticket." Well, then Constans will say "Time."

"Hurry, where did you get the intelligence that showed that there are remote corners on the road where ticket holders come and go" and other words that specifically poke holes in people. Finally, Valens will give a revised and feasible plan based on the two people's opinions, "rob this place."

The owner of the theater or the crew leader threatened them to give up their boxes to us."

The plan to rob the owner of this theater or the head of the crew is indeed feasible. If I remember correctly, when a theater starts a play, the theater owner and the crew boss have to stay in the venue to coordinate, and the theater will specially arrange a show for them.

box.

I laughed out loud, leaving the waitress puzzled for a while, and took out 10 solidos: "Give me ten tickets that are connected together and have a better view."

I took the ticket and the dinar I found without saying anything, and then walked down the steps of the Grand Theater. I handed them the extra tickets I bought and asked them to invite the attendants from the literary girl's family. Then,

I held four ordinary tickets in my hand and placed them in front of everyone. The artistic girl immediately became dissatisfied. She muttered: "Didn't we agree to get a first-class box? Why can't you even part with this small amount of money?"

"Miss Pennywise, reservations are generally required for theater boxes. If you want to postpone the compensation until the next performance, I can guarantee that you will sit in the box." I put the ticket in front of Hans.

, "You draw one."

After Hans took it, Frederick also took one and said: "I have never sat on an ordinary ticket seat since I was a child. This time I came to Constantinople."

After hearing this, the artistic girl with a grimace immediately beamed. I glanced at Frederick, and the artistic young man chuckled and blinked. Hans and Frederick each drew one of the four tickets, leaving the rest

There are two more, so I gave the choice priority to the artistic girl. This is the behavior of a gentleman.

She grabbed a ticket and took the lead to take a few steps. She touched the ground with one foot and made a beautiful spin. She smiled and said: "Let's go, I will take you to eat good food!"

The so-called delicious food in the mouth of literary girls is actually ice cream.

In that restaurant where many young girls went in and out, after taking one bite of this thing, Frederick had only one emotion in his mouth: "I really wish there was something that could record this happy moment."

Yes, camera, but not invented...

Looking for a painter? A good idea, but painting usually takes ten days and a half, and rarely takes half a year.

"How about we write a poem to commemorate today?"

"God, you are so smart! Why didn't I think of that?"

The literary girl was very satisfied with Frederick's look of surprise and then excitement.

"Humph, I have written a popular novel!" The literary girl's little face was raised high, and it looked like it was about to break through the ceiling.

Ignoring the two literary youths, I carefully looked at the ice cream on the table. I wonder if this thing has the function of adding a literary atmosphere?

Frederick then shouted: "How about each of us write a sixteen-line poem?"

Well, it seems that in addition to increasing literature and art, it can also help drive people crazy... This thing can't be encountered by Morris.
