"Mantle: A Legacy of Greatness and Symbolism" The concept of "mantle" carries with it a rich tapestry of historical figures, iconic moments, and symbolic representations. From Ladislaus I of Hungary to St. Ladislaus (Laszlo), the name evokes images of medieval kings and saints who held great power and influence. Yet, in the realm of sports, another figure emerges - Mickey Mantle. This American baseball player left an indelible mark on the game as a member of the New York Yankees. One particular image captures his greatness perfectly - tossing his bat aside after hitting his 500th career home run off pitcher Stu Miller. As he began his triumphant trot around the bases at Yankee Stadium in 1967, Mantle solidified his place among baseball's elite. But beyond sports lies a different kind - one depicted in Athanasius Kircher's engraving from Mundus subeterraneus. Here we see Earth portrayed as a cross-section with a central core of fire surrounded by subterranean lakes and rivers. This representation reminds us that beneath our feet lies an intricate world waiting to be explored. In Byzantine art, Greece offers its own interpretation through icons like the Virgin Hodegetria. These sacred depictions serve as spiritual mantles guiding believers towards enlightenment and salvation. Moving away from religious symbolism, we delve into scientific realms where planets' internal structures are unveiled before our eyes. The mysteries hidden within these celestial bodies mirror those found deep within ourselves - layers upon layers waiting to be discovered. Even everyday objects can carry their own significance when adorned with this term "mantle. " An advertisement for Aladdin safety paraffin mantle lamp showcases how even illumination becomes part of this narrative thread connecting past and present. Looking back further in time reveals wood engravings capturing newspaper editors from 1880 or high-waisted houppelandes with turned-down collars, V-necks.
