22.03.22

Just taking a break from my Latin revision, manifesto editing and emailing teachers about my dissertation to make this work of art. It is debatable if it is funny but I do quite like it. I was trying to make a Maybe she’s born with it meme in reference to Domitian and Numen but that was too hard for me to do so… :)

girl help im feeling sympathy for paris prince of troy

i want to yassify Julius Caesar

im so predictable. like you can put any iliad/odyssey art in front of me and my brain starts to make the same noise as an overheated laptop.

as much as it pains me to say this… the Aeneid did father-son relationships soooo much better than the Odyssey or Iliad. like. Aeneas and Ascanius had no right to be making me cry like that.

haha nooo don’t harm the cattle of Helios Hyperion, ur so sexy

Odysseus is like “yeah guys I’ll tell you everything, you should know the whole story” then leaves out the part about the man-eating monster with six heads

Medea deleted scene where she gets to run Jason over with her chariot

if you’ve ever heard me try to read latin aloud no you haven't 

if he’s your husband why are his ashes mixed with mine

texts I’ve received as a classics major pt 1

British Museum (derogatory)

absolutely obsessed with the fact that so many important things we take as factual are never actually specified in the odyssey, but rather implied

my favorite genre of eavesdropping is listening while also holding a book and pretending to read it but it’s not convincing because you’re not turning pages or moving your eyes along the worlds

bacchilles:

drop those beats, Girl, of a poor little meow meow, who went through some crazy shit after destroying Troy,

translating every vocative as “dude”

ngl im kind of obsessed with how odysseus meets achilles and ajax in the underworld and is like ‘why are you guys still upset about dying, just be happy ☺️’ bruh

You’ve heard of OFMD and PoTC, now get ready for: the Odyssey

hetairoi:

Ah yes, Athens’ greatest adversary… lunchtime

Thucydides,Peloponnesian War, 8.95

Xenophon,Hellenica, 2.1.25-28

the Eretrians were out here using Looney Tunes tactics against the Athenians

no more misattributing quotes from modern media to ancient sources. from now on we misattribute quotes from ancient sources to modern media. 

I think women in myth should be allowed to go insane actually. as a treat.
