12 gods with interesting modes of transport for Xmas #9. Demeter/Ceres. In ancient Greek art she's always letting her mentee Triptolemus ride the snake-drawn winged car to sow the crops, but in the 18th century she got to ride it herself, having apparently been confused with Medea!

‘Centuries of printing preceded Gutenberg. As White is careful to describe, Gutenberg was born nine hundred years after printed texts were first produced in China by rubbing paper onto inked, carved woodblocks.’ Adam Smyth (@adamwithbooks.bsky.social): www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Also missing the point of stories. For most of us, the first stories we were learned were told to us orally. When someone tells me they love my writing or my stories, I never ask - oh, but did you read it on paper? No writer cares. The story is the thing, not the method of delivery
