Hello History in Story, it's Keenan from True World!!! I think we might have some interests in common. I write Greek Tragedy, and essays from a historical perspective. I will check out your page, and if you have time, you're welcome to visit True World…
This was a great read, especially the point about how the beardless Christ visually signals his subordinate position to the bearded God the Father. It’s a fascinating example of how early Christian art didn’t just borrow from antique iconography, but it actively reworked it. The philosopher’s beard, once a marker of wisdom and authority, gets reassigned in a new theological key. A clever visual shift with deep conceptual roots.
Always include dates as much as possible when writing history, it helps put the story in context.
