China: Black Swan Chases Golden Retriever Out of Park Lake

On November 15, 2019, in Hainan, located in southern China, a video recorded an incident at a park lake. A golden retriever entered the water and began swimming. A black swan noticed the dog and swam toward it aggressively. The swan used its wings to strike the dog repeatedly. The dog was unable to resist and quickly swam back to shore to escape. The confrontation ended once the dog left the water.

Spectacular Room Decorated With Trojan War Characters Discovered In Pompeii

Fresco representing Jupiter’s lover Leda and the swan on a wall of a spectacular banqueting room with elegant black walls, decorated with mythological characters and subjects inspired by the Trojan War, recently brought to light during the excavations currently underway at Pompeii, Italy on April 2024 and now completely visible in all its splendour. The room is about fifteen metres long and six metres wide and opens onto a courtyard that seems to be an unroofed access room with a long undecorated staircase leading up to the first floor. The walls were painted black to prevent the smoke from the oil lamps being seen on the walls. The frequent presence of mythological figures in the paintings of living rooms and dining rooms of Roman houses had the explicit social function of entertaining guests and table companions, providing talking points for conversations and reflections on life. The dominant theme seems to be that of heroism, shown by the depictions of pairs of heroes and deities involved in the Trojan War
