In Russian, Molokan means "milk drinker." It also the name of Christian dissidents who broke away from the Russian Orthodox Church in the 17th century. The moniker began after Molokans defied the prescribed Orthodox fast days by drinking milk.

They refused to recognize the religious supremacy of the czar and they follow the Bible literally – including its dietary laws, although most do not have their meat ritually slaughtered.

Because of their beliefs, they were persecuted and forced to resettle in other parts of the Russian Empire – in southern Ukraine, the Caucasus, Central Asia and eastern Russia, where many still reside.

Voice of the Shuttle:
Taerus, wicked king of Thrace, who marries Procne, daughter of the king of Athens, and rapes her sister, Philomela. Philomela is locked up and Taerus cuts out her tongue to keep her quiet. However, Philomela relays her story to her sister by weaving a tapestry. Sophocles later celebrates this story as "The voice of the Shuttle", referring to the shuttle bobbin used to weave tapestries.
