Classical Nerdery

Interesting Twitter thread if you're into Ancient Rome or Victorian art...or both.

In Disney's Hercules (1997), after Herc and Meg ditch Phil to go on a date, they stroll through a statue garden. They talk a bit, things are awkward, Meg trips down the stairs, and Herc catches her before carrying her over to a bench. But it's much, much more than a bench! (1/9) pic.twitter.com/fsT5gseww4
