It is believed that there were two residences of his workshop, situated rather closely to each other in a certain European country. A shrine is dedicated to him at a famous historical site, yet the largest statue of him is situated in the Deep South of the United States. Who is it, where are the two residences, and what was a signifigant 'activity' the Romans participated in during a festival in his honour?

Must be Vulcan, whose smithies were thought to be located under Mt. Etna or under the island of Vulcano. The Romans used to like to throw fish and small animals (WHAT animals? I want to know) into a fire on his festival, and then there's that very big thing in Alabama: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan Oct 30 06, 5:21 PM

Yeehar Frankie, Vulcan is the one. The big thing in Alabama intrigues me. I'd really like someone with a real southern accent sing "Moon Over Homewood", wouldn't you? Wonder who we could get to volunteer? Hmmmmm Oct 30 06, 5:55 PM

I can think of someone. Can he carry a tune? Oct 30 06, 5:57 PM

peasypod

Oh, I reckon he can, if you ask him nicely and flutter your eyelashes. Oct 30 06, 6:06 PM

YOU flutter your eyelashes. I have to direct my eyelash activity elsewhere. Oct 30 06, 6:11 PM

I'd do better by coaxing him with some almond biscotti, but I would love to see the look on his face if you did the fluttering. *she grins* Oct 30 06, 6:14 PM

Not until it has been reliably determined that Hell has frozen over. Oct 30 06, 6:18 PM

It'd make a great photo opportunity, let me know when the weather changes. ;) Oct 30 06, 6:24 PM

Let's see, the harmonics range is probably a little rusty, okay, corroded is more like it. Does feel a bit chilly out there, even for Georgia. Oct 30 06, 9:43 PM

Corroded? You think I didn't hear you in the shower? ;) Oct 30 06, 10:19 PM

A royal possession described in a great epic, this object gave its name to something found at a famous site by an equally famed archaeologist. However, yet another, rather less ostentatious item also bears the name, owing to an inscription that represents one of the oldest known written examples of its language. What are the two objects, where was each found, and what does that inscription say? Where is the European Court of Human Rights situated? It was once a monastery and it had many name changes over the last 1000 years. Mostly known from its 16th century title as the 'Knights' of a European country, technically part of it is named today after a very well known biblical figure. Where is it situated, and what famous 'view' is seen from the 'door'? Where is Glastonbury Abbey situated and what was the reason this site was chosen?
