Seated Buddha Bronze, 1st to mid-2nd century, Gandhara (modern Pakistan). Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (X).
This is one of the earliest depictions of the Buddha in human form. Gandharan artists were familiar with Greek and Roman art from military expeditions, diplomacy, and trade. This Buddha’s unique halo is reminiscent of depictions of the god Helios in Greek and Sol in Roman art. The drape of the tunic echoes Hellenistic and Roman garments, as well as depictions of the Iranian god Mithra, and the Roman god Mithras.

Antinous Festival of the Nile Inundation remix image by honorthegods.
Today, July 25, the modern cult of Antinous celebrates the festival of the Inundation of the Nile. The annual flooding of the Nile had failed in the two years preceding the death of Antinous. Famine was a threat to northern Europe, Africa, and the Near East, regions which relied on imports of grain from Egypt. The year following Antinous’ death, the inundation of the Nile was restored and even exceeded prior levels, an occurrence believed by some at the time to have been a miracle brought about by the recently deified Antinous.
Hail to you, O Nile! Hail, holy waters of life! Mysterious is your issuing forth from the darkness, on this day whereon it is celebrated!
Hail to you, O Hapi! You bring water to the fields which Ra created! By your command, the land is fertile! Food is abundant, and the people are strong!
Hail, Antinous, deified by the Nile! You hear the prayers of all those who call out to you, and relieve the afflictions of those in need!

"You want the truth, Servant of Truth? The truth is when you banish the gods from the world, they eventually come back-with a vengeance. Humans can't stay away from gods. Gods can't stay away from humans. It's the natural order of things."
