I have a reputation for taking two paragraphs to say
something which can normally be said in two or three
words. However, when I see the work of Michael
Campbell I can only think of one word - "astounding."
This image depicts The Nereids - who are the fifty
daughters of Nereus and Doris who dwell in the
Mediterranean Sea. These beautiful women were
always friendly and helpful towards sailors fighting
perilous storms. They are believed to be able to
prophesize. They belong to the retinue of Poseidon.
In ancient art, particularly on black-figured Greek
vases the Nereids were portrayed fully clothed, such
as on a Corinthian vase (6th century BCE) where they
stand around Achilles' deathbed, dressed in
mourning-garbs. In later art they were portrayed
naked or partially naked, riding on dolphins,
seahorses, and other marine creatures.

Mario has a new Gallery here - and it is a great
addition to his other 7 pages of images on Pixiport. "A
man with a Prolific output" would be a good way to
describe Mario, and his work is both stimulating and
varied.

Regular recipients of this newsletter will realise that
there are many features on this site which
are "timeless." So, we will feature here some of the
great "archive" pages - articles and features that our
new viewers will not have seen, but which are still
interesting enough to take a second glance at - even
if you are already an established "Pixiporter."
One of the joys of Pixiport has always been that you
just never know what you are going to find within it's
pages. Just by accident I came across this rather
tongue-in-cheek article by MICHAEL MOLLICK.
