Real artists did installations, or sawed houses in half or got behind the controls of a bulldozer and piled up earthworks - anything other than pick up a hairy brush and use it to drag that ancient mud called pigment across a piece of cloth...
...Miller pictures Leonidas as a hero of Hestonian features (though Butler looks like a sturdier Soupy Sales). He gives a lot of cross-species personality to his villains. He draws the Ephors as pigmen with pigment. And Ephialtes is Miller's Gollum: misshapen in body and mind, eager to please, susceptible to bribes.

They had been wrapped in paper that read “Pollock (1946–49) / Tudor City (1940–1949) / 32 Jackson...
...Using scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and a slew of other state-of-the-art techniques, scholars at the Harvard University Art Museums found materials in the paintings that were not available until years after Pollock died. The analysis revealed that one of the three paintings includes a brown pigment that was not created until the early 1980s and not available on the market until 1986. Pollock died in 1956. The other two paintings spawned similar findings, containing materials not available before 1962 or 1963, according to the study. Despite the growing controversy, Boston College’s McMullen Museum...
Ella has learned from her research that the blue color in her dream is that of the precious lapis lazuli pigment used in Renaissance paintings to emphasize the Virgin’s miraculous agency. And as the color recurs throughout Chevalier’s novel, it becomes a motif for Isabella’s and Ella’s own searches for agency...
