I want to know what they were drinking when they saw a goat 🐐😂
There's a theory that it was magic mushroom beer. ;) The "myc" in Mycenae just might be cognate with mushroom in Greek. ;)
I found the dish ( ;) ) on Mycenae and mushrooms:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycenae
The name Mukanai is thought not to be Greek but rather one of the many pre-Greek place names inherited by later Greek speakers. Legend has it that the name was connected to the Greek word mykēs (μύκης, "mushroom"). Thus, Pausanias ascribes the name to the legendary founder Perseus, who was said to have named it either after the cap (mykēs) of the sheath of his sword, or after a mushroom he had plucked on the site.
See also Robert Graves fanciful takes on the role of mushrooms in Greek Myth at the following link which my browser wins is not secure: http://writings.raftis.org/wp-content/u ... com_-1.pdf

That reminded me of a local "Dalek" I saw recently:
Exterminate trash.jpg
Telescopes: 12" f5 dob, Celestron CPC800, 150mmf5 Celestron achro, Tak TSA102, TV76, ETX125...
Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

That "tips" anagram reminded me: for all you reluctant lawn-mowers and garden assistants out there: did you realise that "gardened" is an anagram of "deranged"! (PS: don't tell my wife! ;) )

Don't know how your Easter brunch went, but mine had a 'celebrity' in attendance, which was pretty sweet.
