Santorini Greece Akrotiri "Antilopes fresco" and "the boxing children"
This is the only frescos frieze repeated for two different pictures:                        1] the boxing children,                        2]the antelopes... The position of the bodies in the boxing boys could be  similar to THAI boxing: both boys' feet,  seem to participate in the fight*... Also we can notice the blue color of their raised heads... The antelopes ,or the antelope, whose image its reflected  in the water,  is one of the most moving frescoes of Akrotiri... Also here, we can feel a certain aggressiveness,  to probably verify the artist's will to paint the reality emotions:  positive as life or negative as death, emotions dominate  our behavior, in order to survive, love ourselves, or love the others.                      Love is the feeling of life ...        Our symbol here is the blue (heart shaped) leaves,       the common characteristic of two different plants:              The Common Ivy and the grapevine…       Both plants use in shamanistic medicine could explain  why in a Boetian Amphora of 700 bC, the heart was painted instead           of the head, in the image of the goddess,            with a fish painted in the womb..

The heart symbol of “ IMPERATRIX”, in the TARROT cards**,  is additional evidence of this prehistoric consideration,  that people in Mediterranean cultures still preserve:                      to think with their hearts***.     In fact common Ivy the sacred plant of Aphrodite – Venus,          or the grapevine symbol of Dionysus or Bacchus          both touch our emotional function in a way that              ancient civilizations consider as divine… It is said that the worshipers of Bacchus confused the grapevine leaves  with those of the Ivy…     The heart shape leaves of Ivy, personification of Aphrodite,      becomes the sacred plant of Dionysus before its worshipers    transform it to grapevine, so to continue its shamanistic traces                                        up to nowadays…        Wine, “warm the cockles of somebody’s heart”                            we still say in Greece…        The Greek priests presented a wreath of Ivy                      to newly-married  persons,    and the Ivy has throughout the ages been regarded                           as the emblem of fidelity.        The custom of decorating houses and churches      with Ivy at Christmas was forbidden by one of the early Councils          of the Church, on account of its pagan associations,                    but the custom still remains.        Today this symbol being Saint Valentine's love,       is one more evidence that the prehistoric symbols         survived society transformations to remain      as cultural values of the Mediterranean civilizations... *THAI Traditional boxing, means hands & feet fight ,  with religious preparation steps, old tradition in a country where  evidence of Greek influence is found in the north capital,           in the golden triangle, CHANG RAI...   In the opium museum, we learn that opium  was imported in Thailand by the army of Alexander [330 bC],  probably being used as pain killer [ LAUDANUM]... **Aphrodite-Venus[ Santorini ancient Greece goddess] ***Hippocrates, center of feelings was the thymus gland.  This because this gland disappears in puberty...
