Harry Potter Morning Light.

Chapter 3328 The Sea of ​​Atlas (Part )

The English word "Atlantic" originates from Greek, meaning the mythical giant Atlas. According to Latin, the Atlantic Ocean should be called mare atlanticum, and the Latinized form of Greek is atlantis, which is what Plato said. Recorded sinking of Atlantis.

According to the ancient Mexican manuscripts preserved by Humboldt in the Vatican and the records preserved in the Mexican Archives of South America, there are similar records, "There have been four generations of people on the earth. The first generation of giants died of hunger, and the second generation of giants died of hunger. The first generation of humans was destroyed by huge fires, the third generation of humans were apes, they could talk and kill each other, and then the fourth generation of humans appeared, that is, humans in the stage of sun and water, they were destroyed by great floods.”

The fourth generation, the Atlanteans, are said to have been destroyed and sunk by the continent.

"What kind of wine is this? Why is it so bitter?" Paulina said after taking a sip of the wine Georgiana brought back.

Caroline was pregnant and did not drink. It was said that her belly was almost as big as that of Mrs. Marshal Ney.

"This is a popular aperitif in Italian literary salons. If you want to play, you have to get used to it." Georgiana said while drinking the semi-bitter and semi-sweet vermouth, which was no longer bitter compared to espresso.

"I don't go to any literary salon." Polina put the glass of wine aside. "I don't even write in a diary to discuss literature."

"Are you planning to go to that 'Patriotic Cafe'?" Caroline said with some difficulty as she sat on the recliner.

In fact, Georgiana did not plan to go, but only brought up the topic while chatting at Chiconyara's house.

Napoleon loved the Iliad, but Bernardo Zamagna used the Odyssey as a Greek literature textbook.

As soon as Denon arrived in Venice after his retirement, he often visited "quietist" salons. At these gatherings, he met Elisabeth Marini. Chiconyara, who also stayed in Venice, also knew her. He asked as a joke Denon still remembers her.

In fact Denon not only remembered her but corresponded with her, and Lord Byron likened her to Madame de Staël.

Being married these days is not a taboo, but rather getting rid of the label of "old maid". Because of this confidante, Denon quickly integrated into the Venetian painting world, and everything was so beautiful until the outbreak of the Revolution.

Denon originally thought that this matter had little to do with him. However, as a former French diplomat, his social circle was so wide that the turbulent Venetian oligarchs had to treat him with caution and called him for interrogation.

He repeatedly stated that he was a retired print engraver with a great love for peace and the study of art. He also had two young students, both of whom achieved amazing achievements.

One of the two students is now at the Academy of Art in Milan, and the other is the "confidante". Elizabeth's husband took Elizabeth to Greece to escape the limelight after Denon was expelled from Venice. She was accused of having sex with The former director of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the future ambassador of France in Venice offered "facilitation" to form a Jacobin club in her salon, organize the wine trade, and so on.

Denon presented his reasons to the Secretary of the Venetian Commission for not opposing the government and expressed his feelings for the king, just as Chiconyara openly expressed his sympathy for Louis XVI.

Then they both laughed tacitly in Georgiana's face.

Later they talked about holding a sculpture competition with the theme of decoration of the Po Bridge, and Ciconiala had another idea.

There is a Four Rivers Fountain in the Roman Forum, which was designed by Bernini for the Pope. The four rivers represent the Danube, Ganges, Nile and La Plata. At the same time, these four rivers represent human civilization, Europe, and Asia. , Africa and the Americas.

Rubens also painted an oil painting of the same theme, which was a popular subject at the time. However, Rubens loved painting women. In his painting, four river gods hugged four plump women respectively. They represented four rivers, so the painting could not be displayed in public.

But what really attracts Chiconyara are the clay plants in the pools that form the backdrop to the fountains.

Georgiana didn't know how much Chiconyala missed Canova, and he wasn't worried that if there was a war in the future, these exquisite sculptures would be destroyed by artillery fire.

Then we talked about General Ney. During his time in the Swiss garrison, he obtained a sum of money from the Swiss through lobbying to provide expenses for the French garrison.

The other thing is about road construction. When Talleyrand was negotiating the mediation treaty with the Swiss representatives, he included the decree to build many roads in Switzerland. It took Ney a lot of effort to convince the Swiss representatives to accept it, because Opponents argued that it would reroute trade and impoverish some states.

Chiconyara asked Georgiana whether the Italian side should also build wooden rail roads like those outside the mountains, especially after the opening of the Cerny Mountain Road, which would divert a lot of the previous trade road traffic away from the Cerny Mountain Road.

General Ney was from the Army of the Rhine, and Moreau was even his old commander.

But he had a young and beautiful wife, whom Josephine set up as a matchmaker. This young lady was a classmate of Josephine's daughter Hortense.

She didn't take a fancy to Ney at all at first. At that time, Ney was still wearing a half-worn military uniform and had the braids and beard of a dart cavalry. After coming to Paris, his image changed a lot. First of all, he changed his braids and beard. They all shaved, and from then on I started to pay attention to shaving and shaping my face.

Georgiana liked to see other people wearing boots, and not everyone was trying to cater to her taste. The last time she was in St. Cloud, she had seen no one wearing a tricolor girdle.

Why was Ney the one who went to Switzerland to "mediate" this time and not Mullah?

Maura didn't intend to obey the order at first, until Augereau spoke up.

Augereau now has no position, but unlike Massena, he can only stay where he retired unless summoned, such as to attend the founding ceremony of the Shannan Republic and the opening ceremony of the Ourcque Canal.

Augereau went wherever he wanted, and when Georgiana asked him if he wanted to go to Italy, he followed him.

Mullah is also very free. He may run back to Paris one day, but he is Napoleon's brother-in-law, and he and his other brother-in-law Leclerc participated in the Brutal Moon Coup.

Realizing that he might be replaced, Mullah chose to obey the orders of his mistress who was armed with a sword and a few clothes and planned to command him, but he would not give up so easily.

The literary society was not involved, but Cerrone was a poet.

Grotius once said that the law of nations permits many things that are forbidden by natural law, and the result is no less than the sanction of injustice in wars and other actions.

Yet the first and fundamental compromise with justice in the laws of war must relate to what can be considered a legitimate cause of war.

Grotius observed that kings were allowed to do as they pleased simply because they were immune from human punishment.

When James punished evil on behalf of justice, I don't know if he thought that today, the relationship between Snape and Lily has been completely washed away, and his husband has been forgotten by people.

Camus once wrote in "Caligula":

People cannot understand fate, so I pretend to be fate. I put on the confused and pretentious faces of the gods.

It's more absurd than stupid.

There are many monsters in Greek mythology, and the heroes can kill them at will, and no one will seek revenge for them.

Except for the Cyclops, who was blinded by Odysseus and punished by Poseidon, who was frightened and fainted in the storm.

But Odysseus didn't know that his fate had been planned. He would get home alive and Poseidon would not kill him.

At the beginning of the Odyssey, Zeus said:

Mortals always blame the gods and say disasters are caused by us. In fact, they suffer misfortunes because they have lost their minds and exceeded their destiny.

When Pomona was afraid of loneliness, she would rather be friends with Lily, who was also lonely, but now that she has accepted loneliness, she no longer needs to force herself.

She let herself go and felt much better.

The love of Romeo and Juliet cannot break up the feud between the two families, and the feud between Gryffindor and Slytherin cannot be broken down by two young people who come from the world of Magua and have no foundation in the magical world, so even if Severus He made so much contribution, but it was still erased.

Camus's Caligula always said that he was the only free person. He reminded her of the king in the fairy tale who was the only one with magic.

There was a minister who claimed to be loyal to him, so Caligula ordered him to kill his son, and then let the minister love Caligula as he loved his own son.

Normal people think that is ridiculous, but wasn’t Caligula a tyrant?

However, although the tyrant Caligula was killed by his loyal ministers, he said before his death that he was alive because "Caligula the poet" was still there.

Just like the two bodies of a king, one is mortal and the other is immortal.

The logic of fate at this time is not to gain and lose, but to push everything to the extreme, or there is no "neutral".

Napoleon gave Malta to the Tsar, but the Tsar did not respond. Instead, through the Treaty of Teschen, he and France became the protectors of the Baltic countries.

This treaty only recognized Russia as the protector of Germany, excluding non-German Sweden and Denmark. But wasn’t the Armed Neutrality Alliance established by the Treaty of Basel?

Either the Tsar recognized the Treaty of Amiens and worked with France to force Britain to withdraw its troops from Malta, or he could only tolerate France ignoring the Treaty of Amiens and occupy Corcyra Island in accordance with the Treaty of Campo Formio.

As for the will of the people? Wouldn't it be great if the French fleet surrounded the island and sealed the Otlando Strait by the way?

"Go and fetch Bougainville," said Georgiana.

"What are you looking for him for?" Paulina asked.

"I have something to ask him." As soon as Georgiana finished speaking, the nanny brought Delmid over, but Mulla's son was walking away on his own.

She was annoyed when she saw this, but Delmid's mother didn't say anything.

Some people tell children fairy tales, but Georgiana prefers to let the navigator tell them.

Voldemort would get angry over trivial things and then dance with joy after killing Harry Potter.

If he ignores that prophecy and ignores Harry Potter, just as Bonaparte wrote in his letter: He made me angry, which is detrimental to my dignity. If I am really angry, he will also treat me Be proud of this behavior.

How powerful is the mountain-moving curse? It hasn't been defeated by Expelliarmus.

In order to win the American Revolutionary War, Louis XVI invested heavily regardless of the cost, adding to the already high debts of Louis XIV and Fifteenth.

At this time, she looked back at the wizarding war. Voldemort was still concerned about the future of the wizarding world, and he would not be held accountable as long as he handed over Harry Potter.

Dumbledore bet on all the students at the school. There are many potential Mudbloods in the Muggle world, but Voldemort, like his ancestor Slytherin, refused them entry into the school.

The scene of Pomona and Lockhart standing together must be called a "spectacle", and this is the strength of the teachers of the thousand-year-old famous school.

When she knows more and understands that the world is not just a choice of Hogwarts, will Hermione's Boggart still be Minerva holding a notice announcing her withdrawal from school?

The people in Plato's cave were living happily, but they didn't want to look at the outside world, so they beat to death the man who told them to look outside.

And she chose to leave the cave. Thanks to Lily, the realm of love and family has always been hers.

So she was forced to go another way, which was also the way Albus wanted her to go.

In the world of normal women, chastity is the first priority. If Josephine had not made a mistake, she and Eugene would not be like this.

But Snape died for the past, and she chose to live for the future. Minerva's parents were in love and painfully together, and now that she had made peace with each other, he no longer needed to linger.

Someone will help her make a choice. Just like this trip to Milan, can she really set off from Marseille to Corsica to see their mulberry orchard?

While in Piedmont this time, let's take a good look at how other people plant mulberry trees. After all, she is just a "horticulturist", not an "agriculturist". There is no limit to her learning, and she still has to learn.

Don't waste your talents.

She met a monarch who regarded the full use of his talents as happiness. This was fate.
