(Left) The cover of The Next Horizon, by Owen Tyme.

The black silhouette of a man and woman embracing. They stand atop the dark side of a planet or moon in space, which has a slim crescent along the right side. The background is the stars of space, but some have been highlighted with a heart shape that surrounds the couple. Everything is in shades of blue.

(Right) Deep space, displaying the edge of an orange and blue gaseous cloud from a nebula, while most of the stars appear golden in color. Floating in space is a square, red leather book with the image of a newt stamped on the cover. Over the top of everything is the following text:

“You can back down and cooperate, right now, or Marta will hit you so hard, you should reach a tenth the speed of light…”

“No one will ever find you again, but even if someone does, there’s no way they’ll have the capacity to safely slow you down, before you’re gone to them!”

<p>Apollonius of Rhodes: The Man Who Changed Ancient Greek Literature for Ever</p><p>Few figures in Ancient Greek literature have been as consequential and enigmatic as Apollonius of Rhodes.</p><p>By Nick Kampouris</p><p><a href="https://greekreporter.com/2026/04/05/apollonius-rhodes-man-change-greek-literature/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="greekreporter.com/2026/04/05/apollonius-rhodes-man-change-greek-literature/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">greekreporter.com/2026/04/05/a</span><span class="invisible">pollonius-rhodes-man-change-greek-literature/</span></a></p><p>Rhodius Apollonius at PG:<br><a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/433" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/433"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/autho</span><span class="invisible">r/433</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/literature/" rel="tag">#literature</a> <a href="/tags/philosophy/" rel="tag">#philosophy</a></p>

This is a fanciful portrait of one "Apollonius" - a name shared by several illustrious ancient Greek men. Among those, most prominent are (1) the epic poet, Apollonius of Rhodes (3rd century BCE); (2) the mathematician, Apollonius of Perga (2nd century BCE); (3) the philosopher, Apollonius of Tyana (1st century CE).

While every effort has been taken (by going through digital editions of the original work which are available on the Internet), I haven't succeeded in ascertaining the identity of this Apollonius. However, the most likely candidate seems to be no. (1) - notice the laurel crown, surely more fitting to his role as an epic poet - a second possibility could be no. (3), while I'd surely rule out no. (2).

A detailed technical cross-section diagram of a complete clock movement, showing the full gear train and mechanism from power source to escapement.

Key components:

B — the pendulum (teardrop-shaped bob) hanging to the right
P — a hanging weight at the bottom, the power source driving the mechanism
C — a large mainspring barrel or fusee at the centre, with visible coiled spring
A, D — lower great wheel and barrel assemblies
E, F — intermediate gear wheels of the going train
L — the escape wheel at the top with characteristic shaped teeth
Z — winding arbors top and bottom
M — likely the motion works for the dial
O, Q — click and ratchet mechanisms on the left for winding
S, S — the plates (front and back) of the movement frame
U, X, A — the pendulum suspension and crutch assembly on the right
T, T — pillars holding the plates apart

(Left) The cover of Legacy of Newts, by Owen Tyme.

In the background dawn, as seen from space, above a blue world.

In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior of the line drawing has been filled with the image of a spiral galaxy in red, orange and yellow, with a blue color that shades to white at the center, which lines up with the newt's head. The galaxy almost looks like fire.

(Right) The background is a blue and orange nebula, with the following text over it:

“You gotta be real strong, real bright, real quick, or real lucky to survive drawing *attention*. Which are you?”

“I’m quick, Amelia is bright, Marta is strong and all three of us have been lucky, after a fashion: if we didn’t have bad luck, then I suppose we wouldn’t have any luck at all.”

My people are on the streets again in Indonesia. Everywhere the state decides certain people's survival is not a priority, the same infrastructure gap opens. The only thing that fills it is people deciding to fill it for each other. The full list is at the link. Some requests are urgent, some are overdue, and all of them need movement.

Illustration from Walter Crane's 1906 book, Flowers from Shakespeare's Garden.

A young woman in a pink Regency-style dress and wide-brimmed floral hat kneels in a garden, gathering an armful of vividly coloured flowers — daisies, poppies, irises, marigolds and more — before a marble bust of Shakespeare on a pedestal, set against dark topiary.

At these he sometimes met the old Duchess of Bourbon, who, being a chess player of about his force, they very generally played together. Happening once to put her king into prize, the Doctor took it. 'Ah,' says she, 'we do not take kings so.' 'We do in America,' said the Doctor."—Thomas Jefferson

<p>Happy birthday Sir Terry Pratchett. The more the world gets more cruel and unfair, the more I miss him. </p><p>Plus the Vimes boots theory remains the greatest piece of economics ever written.</p><p><a href="/tags/terrypratchett/" rel="tag">#TerryPratchett</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a></p>

A pair of tattered boots and the Vimes boots theory:

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."
