There are two sites where temples to Nehalennia have been found and the author of the article that I'm reading has included examples of other altars that have been found there, most prominently Neptune/Poseidon and Hercules but the author's not reproduced the inscriptions (I'm presuming that there are some) that accompany these altars. The Nehalennia ones come with them, so I presume that they should.
The reason why I want to know if there are inscriptions is that I want to confirm that the altars are actually dedicated to those gods/demi gods and that they aren't a god that has a similar function in that culture and the author is saying that they are those gods/demi gods. Romans have clearly had an influence at the sites because the writing on the altars is latin, but they when they encounter gods of the native
lands that they invade, they often attribute a native god in that culture that has similar traits to their own with their own god, so Thoth becomes Mercury/Hermes, Tyr becomes Aries, etc...
Even later writers have this problem of transposing gods/goddesses from Greece and the Roman Empire to other lands - Snorri Sturluson claims that the Nordic deities are Greek migrants.
that many books, especially with the length of them and I've not seen such proliferation in a series outside of those Sweet Valley High books from the 80's/90's, but they were 200 pages long each, and these are 400 pages.) Third - I tried looking him up on Fantastic Fiction and there was no entry for him.
Today, I came across a set of pagan books advertised on Instagram that claimed to be a best seller on Amazon, but again, with a very low price tag. I looked the author up on Amazon to see if I could take a look at the copyright year of each of the books... On Amazon, there was no such author listed. I tried to see if there was any reference to the author on the internet since you can usually find a blog, wikipedia
entry or something similar but no luck there (some authors choose not to sell through Amazon and some book publishers don't, either.) Again, no such luck... Either the books don't exist and you won't receive a copy, the books do exist and it's written by AI, or they are books by real authors that have had their work stolen. Beware of low price/free books.
I continue to buy real books from real bricks and mortar bookstores, so this isn't an issue I've personally dealt with. However, I've seen a lot of advertising recently about how to use AI to pump out novels and make lots of money. It potentially serves someone's bank balance, but it certainly doesn't serve the cause of reading or readers.
I usually buy books from authors that I know I like (most of it years before this AI nonsense started), but a lot become out of print, you can't order from the bookshop because it's not released here, the bookshop doesn't carry it, or if it's second hand, is way over priced. The local Oxfam sells books at inflated prices now and the font size used can be a problem - I had to give up on the Seven Kennings Trilogy
because the font was too small, so kindle is useful because I can change the font sizes. If it wasn't for that, I would prefer print books. There has always been bad books around, but it seems to becoming more common.
black mould helped the situation in the previous home we were living in had. (We were unaware of how bad it was because the mould was hidden behind furniture.)
Also, now that the lilac bush has started to lose its flowers, I've noticed that the eye irritation that I've been experiencing has started to settle down. I think what happened is that the dog caught my eye, which caused a slight injury and then this combined with her moulting, and the pollen, it's irritated my eyes more than normal, and my left eye caught the brunt of it because of her catching it with her paw.
I noticed that when we had Jaffa and we were in the car with him while he was moulting it irritated my eyes, nose and throat, but it lessened when we were in a less enclosed space.
It's like using mobile phones to store your banking details, relying on mobiles for payments, doctors appointments, etc, when they can easily get lost or stolen, and mobile phone numbers are constantly being recycled so you can never be sure if the person you are ringing is the person you want to speak to.

And then there are the italics... Italics are hard to read even at larger font sizes and when used for title headings so using them for large blocks of text is odd. Publishers need to work on making their books readable and large font users aren't restricted to grannies reading Catherine Cookson books.
