Clues/answers very, very welcome!!!

I'm too tired at this time on a Sunday night...!!!

:rotfl:
I have spent days on this!
Here is what i got so far...
"The Season of the Witch" is all about the tattoos in my opinion...you can find most words from the riddle on models bodies. One of them has a snake with a skull on her arm.
So my answer would be SKULL
"Pirate Provocateur" was the easiest for me. You can find a barrel with RUM written on it in the bottom right corner.
So my answer is RUM

As for the other two... still working on it!

I think in Virgins, the riddle has two names for the same person, i.e. Faunus / Pan and Eros / Cupid and the other name for Bacchus was Dionysus so this could be the answer...

Does anyone else agree?

:T Makes sense! This could be it!
My only concern is the first line, which is phrased like a question...
"Was it Faunus or Pan...."

Thanks for your help prozacspice!;)

Well I went along with
Roman : Faunus
Greek : Pan

Roman : Cupid
Greek : Eros

Roman : Dionysus
Greek : Bacchus


Dionysus is the god of wine (hence the grapes in the picture), the inspirer of ritual madness and ecstasy (being seduced by Pan?). He was also known as Bacchus and the frenzy he induces, bakkheia. He is the patron deity of agriculture and the theatre. He was also known as the Liberator freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine

As the picture shows grapes and lots of naughty things going on and it looks on the left a woman dressed as character from a play/musical. This would indicate the theatre part. The sheep I think represent Bacchus and his god of agriculture/livestock. So I think the answer they are asking for is the other name for Bacchus???????

Hi lorweld! :hello:
I've looked into it some more and i'm not sure they should be merged, as it's for a different prize.
The one posted earlier was for a print to be won by solving one puzzle. This one is for a main prize which can be won only with the 4 correct answers.

I so wish i was able to post a link to the prize!
It can be found by clicking on "magazine" when on AP website, and it's on page 6.

Scroll down the page until Ulysses and Parthenope is mentioned.

Hope this helps

Your link has been blocked by MSE, you need to replace the exclamation marks with og 1 (without the space).
The article you refer to also says that Naples was previously known as Neapolis and before that Parthenope. Do they actually want the present name or one of the previous ones?
