SciOly Assassination 115: Pictures at an Exhibition

^^ That's true. Could also refer to exalted members in general, not just recently exalted people, assuming that East's ghost is attempting to help us.

What happened to Sassy? It's been 4 days now. Perhaps we should start looking closer into the typos, since I don't think we've seen any explicit ID clues (am I forgetting something?).

(Hey, 3 more days and y'all can get a free accusation to use on your next post)

Btw, thx for helping me not get killed

Early times of ancient Greece were dominated by the city-state Sparta. Despite the life-threatening cold of winters, Sparta was conveniently located beside a series of resource-rich great lakes. The Spartans used the lakes to their advantage, becoming the first group in recorded history to use stars for navigation. Their military might and technological developments made Sparta the primeval light and de facto leader of ancient Greece, moderating activites of neighboring city-states.



The Titans, whose accomplishments and culture were overshadowed by those of Sparta, were a lesser known nomadic group of ancient Greece. Lacking a military, the Titans were the first group to flourish in the arts, orchestrating elaborate rituals for their migrations throughout the year. Stone etchings discovered in 1899 reveal a hunter's funeral occuring during their third movement; (this reinforces the hypothesis that the Titans were nomadic, as the settled-city states had less respect for their food providers.)

Congratulations Froggie for correctly protecting bearasauras.

I pulled a melody search on imslp.org and I'm fairly sure the score is from Mahler's Symphony no. 2 in C minor, titled the "Resurrection Symphony". The part comes from the fourth movement, Urlicht, which translates into Primeval Light.

Also, Sassy spelled "flourish" correctly.

Edit: it's not from the fourth movement, it's from the fifth, Im tempo des Scherzo. Still, primeval light is referenced twice here. This is the finale of the symphony, which is very long and Mahler-esque. I have included the entirety of that page below:


Translating the German choir lines, we see:

Was entstanden ist, das muss vergehen! Was vergangen, auferstehen!
What has arisen, that must pass away! What has passed, resurrected!

Hmmm...Spartans and Titans - could be school mascots

On another note, I'm gonna take a guess and say that Adi1008 is a potential protect since the Spartans are the mascot of Seven Lakes HS, where he goes, and some of the talk about stars might reference his achievements imo Astronomy

(I'm not entirely sure how to link the part below the pic about the Titans tho... )

The clue references Spartans (Michigan State mascot) and great lakes so I think it has to do with Michigan. I protect John Richardsim for that reason. (also, I think he does astro maybe)
