What an illustrious name is George. In previous posts I have revealed my abiding interest in traditions of autochthony, which I principally study through my reading of Plato. It was the subject of my PhD. In other contexts I have expressed the opinion that royalty and royal lines are, finally, a prolongation of autochthony myths. What name says this better than George. Geo = earth. George, Prince of Cambridge, was named today.
It has prompted me to post a couple pictures of one of my favourite Victorian artists, George Dunlop Lesley.
