I'll need to dig back into mythology and ancient history, from memory I think the caryatids were being punished for something or other... I have been to Athens and seen them for myself, they did look very long-suffering and patient - they had been supporting the roof of the temple of Athena Nike for a couple of millenia, at least. Welcome to the site. Loads of info and support here. Marg I had no idea that Aspies were called "little professors!!" That is too ironic! My father in law dubbed him that. As for my handle, nope not Greek. Before I taught K, I was an art teacher. Rodin is my favorite sculptor, and The Caryatid who has fallen under the weight of her stone is my favorite sculpture. Weight of the world and all that, she has fallen, but she still tries to stand despite all odds. Sometimes I feel like that, but most of the time it reminds me that I haven't fallen yet. I have not been to Athens, but they do have one in the Smithsonian. You could say it left an impression on me. And by the way, you are the first person to recognize "caryatid." I've been using this handle for over 10 years. [/QUOTE]
