20 Odysseus is tied to the malus (mast) to listen to the carmen Sirenis (the Siren's song) without jumping overboard. His nauta (sailor) has aures obturatas (plugged ears) to stay safe from periculum (danger). The Siren frustra cantat (sings in vain)! 🏺ClassicsTober with 🐭 Minimus

Photo of Minimus and Minima, the Latin mice, as Odysseus and one of his crew. Minimus is tied to the mast of a little sailing boat floating in a pond, and Minima, with thistledown in her ears, is rowing. A Siren, half bird, half woman and all bad temper, is perched on a rock in the water, angry because her song hasn't made anyone jump in and drown.

24 Hephaestus, ferrarius et artifex deorum (blacksmith and master craftsman of the gods) fulmen fabricat (forges a thunderbolt) in his officina (workshop). One of his wheeled tripodes aurei (golden tripods) is waiting to deliver it to Zeus. 🏺ClassicsTober with 🐭 Minimus

Photo of Minimus the Latin mouse as the god Hephaestus or Vulcan. He is wearing a leather apron, and holding a lightning bolt in his tongs. Two swords are heating in his forge. A strange wheeled gold contraption represents the fabulous automata mentioned by Homer

25 Talos the automaton aeneum (bronze automaton) guarded Crete from invasores (invaders), e.g. the Argonauts, throwing ingentia saxa (huge rocks) at them. Jason, sailing home with the vellus aureum (golden fleece), needs Medea to save him yet again. 🏺ClassicsTober with 🐭 Minimus

Photo of Minimus and Minima the Latin mice as Jason and Medea. They are on the deck of the Argo, facing a huge metallic figure shaped like a mouse. There's a rock on the bow of the ship. Medea is waving her wand while Jason hides behind her. The Golden Fleece is behind them on the deck.
