I've taken the liberty of using some points to request a static copy of Wikipedia be added to the network. For those unfamiliar, Wikipedia is an exhaustive collection of factual information compiled and verified by volunteers worldwide. You might consider it a digital version of the library.
For further information, I recommend the Wikipedia article on Wikipedia.
Notable features include:
(1) It is uneditable to maintain the integrity of the source information.
(2) You may, however, leave comments and participate in resulting forum-like conversations.
(3) All pages with information possibly pertaining to a resident's personal history have been removed to ensure privacy.
(4) This is a representative snapshot of Wikipedia from our collective source worlds where that is an internet-capable Earth. I'm told it's circa 2025 CE.
I do not intend to offer assistance in utilizing this resource, but the companion bots have a digital literacy module and should be able to serve in that capacity if anyone has a need.
Comments are left open for you to discuss amongst yourselves as desired. I will not be responding.
[ ooc: Feel free to start threads here about this development, or link to a Wikipedia page and indicate what your character would leave as a comment on it! Reply to one another! Do this any time, not just in this post! Snidely link others to Wiki articles instead of answering them sometimes! Note #3 is meant to indicate that fourth-walling is impossible from this.
Also, Harold wanted to disable comments, but Aurora disabled the disabling comments feature he tried to add. :( Anyway: Merry Christmas, Etraya! ]

But that still doesn't explain why you needed to figure it out in the first place. What did that biscuit ever do to you?

Would you mind messaging me privately, or just stopping by? I'm afraid I might get mood whiplash carrying on this conversation on this post.

Aurora (mythology),--half-nude painting as the entry illustration, view with caution
Boreas (mythology)
Aurora borealis (aka the Northern Lights)
Echo (mythology), partial nude artwork throughout, but at least it's not the first picture, orz
Scylla (mythology), one painting with mostly nudes, the rest not detailed nudity?
Castor and Pollux nude sculpture as the entry illustration, view with caution
Please feel free to add to the list as needed! I'm pretty sure I'm missing entities....

well
artists, they do want to display the beauty of the human form, right? But in some cultures and past time periods, nudity was taboo and if someone painted or sculpted a nude of a contemporary person, that could be a capital-s Scandal.
BUT if the subject was a "mythological figure"? A goddess, a hero. That got a pass. Especially since reading and translating classical literature was part of education, so the well-read knew the characters. They also got away with it if the nude was meant to symbolize something--"Love", "Beauty", etc.
