Pendant inn silver gold plated
In Ancient Greece, The Greek Great Mother was known as the Queen Bee, and her priestesses were called Mellisae, the Bees. The honey bee was a sacred symbol of Artemis and an important design on Ephesian coins for almost 6 centuries.
Bees were called “Birds of the Muses” because of their connection to the Muses, who were first nymphs of inspiring springs and then goddesses of poetry, arts and science. One old myth says the muses in the form of bees guided the ship of Ionians from Athens to their home. We have read of poets or important people whose lips had been touched in infancy or youth by the “birds of the muses”. Sophocles, Plato, Vergil, online Lucan are said to had their lips touched with honey as babies. Achilles and Pythagoras had been fed on honey as infants, and the lips of Plato, Pindar, and Ambrose of Milan were anointed with it.
