Better question this morning might be: what’s in a Hippo?
Aphrodite, as it turns out.
I know it’s silly, but I just couldn’t help but laugh at this headline from one of my favorite nerd-pubs, Eureakalert science newswire:
Figurines of Aphrodite from the era of the Roman Empire discovered in Hippos
In Hippos!
I don’t even really care where Hippos is, or why this is news. I just want to picture the grinning ‘potamuses/’potami and wonder how the intrepid discoverers got in there in the first place.
