The Temple of Muses



In 1733, French illustrator Bernard Picart produced a book called Neueröffneter Musen-Tempel, (Temple of the Muses) with 60 copperplate engravings, mostly illustrating stories from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The image here shows Hercules fighting the Hydra. See 16 of those engravings at BibliOdyssey. Link

I know the PM resides at 10 Downing Street, but the article just states that he got to "stay Number 10". Is this just some weird imperial grammar rule?

"he tore my hand off..." does sound painful.

Bean, you're just feigning ignorance to troll a little. Come on, be more subtle than that.
