my sons new deal is saying he wants to be “a War criminal” when he grows up, no doubt due to the forlorn shit he has been fed by the dastardly commanders .
The Siren Vase is an Ancient Greek art masterpiece, created circa 480 BC - 470 BC in Attica, Greece. This piece’s medium is pottery. The image on the Siren Vase shows Odysseus (Ancient Greek King) passing the sea through The Sirens, whom were three sea nymphs that had the power to kill sailors with their bewitching tune.
The sirens of ancient Greek mythology were bird-women whose enchanted singing lured sailors off course, causing shipwreck and disaster. This vase is painted with this famous scene and is known as the Siren Vase. It is a wide-necked vessel thought to have been used for serving wine. The image is of beautiful detail in a magnificent black ground. These two colours contrast very well together enabling the siren painter to create the beautiful Siren Vase.
I hate it when I talk wistfully about the ancient world and then people are like “you wouldn’t survive back then” yeah obviously I would die immediately but do you think achilles would be able to survive in the modern world if he had to send one polite email? no
congrats to these people on being funnier than me on my own fucking post
Odysseus: Before I do anything, I ask myself: would Achilles or Agamemnon do that? And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing and run very quickly in the opposite direction.
Patroclus:
Patroclus:
Patroclus: I don’t know if I should be angry you disrespected my boyfriend but you *do* make a damn good point.
Patroclus: By the GODS, why does everybody think that I always know where Achilles is? Maybe I don’t know. Maybe I don’t care. Maybe I have a life outside of being his companion. Or maybe he’s a full-grown man who can go where he pleases. Have you ever considered that?
Odysseus:
Patroclus:
Odysseus:
Patroclus: he’s speaking with Nestor in the Pylian part of the camp but that’s not my point
Reading TSoA while knowing the plot of the iliad is like watching your friend walking down the road, seeing a truck coming towards them and realizing that they’re wearing air pods.
