i was printing a stencil for a screen print of achilles and troilus, and the printer spat out some newsprint, separating achilles’ face and body from the paper! something about how the media rejects the subject matter and lets troilus keep running for a little while longer. something about how his father is the god of the arts

found a really neat community about herodotus called the herodotus helpline that dedicates itself in part to answering people's questions about herodotus (you can submit a question to the helpline if you'd like) and it's legitimately a fascinating resource but i cannot help but fucking lose it at this one particular question the helpline answered

"The whole film is a jigsaw puzzle of locations in Rome and studio builds. We built the elements of the Sistine Chapel with the amazing craftsmen at Cinecittà and the rooms and corridors of the Casa Santa Marta. This film is about juxtapositions between what we think we know and what we don’t. We discussed playing with those elements to create a more dramatic visual story. Rome is beautiful with amazing ornate architecture, but it also has contemporary architecture that we decided to play with. The feminine shapes and gold, softer side were juxtaposed against hard black lines, and the whites, blues, and blacks against the gold and rich reds." — Suzie Davies, Production Designer for CONCLAVE (2024).

Forget unrequited love, you know what's really tragic? requited love but they're doomed by the narrative. It doesn't matter that they love each other, it doesn't matter how hard they love, they were doomed from the start.

incredibly funny sophocles fragment from an unknown play where odysseus goes "diomedes why would i insult you and say things like 'you're not even from argos' or 'your father's a murderer' or 'your father's a cannibal' that would be so mean of me" i would give the world to hear diomedes' response to this

My classics teacher got us to put Odysseus on trial.

The charges were:

1: Criminal negligence leading to the deaths of 6 men (In the cave of Polyphemus- the prosecution decided those deaths were the ones Odysseus was most responsible for)

2: One count of breaking and entering (Also in the cave of Polyphemus)

3: One count of theft (Polyphemus)

4: Three counts of kidnapping (when he forced his men to leave the island of the Lotus eaters)

He was initially also charged with trespass and theft against the Cicones, and with adultery. These were dropped as the former was linked to the Trojan war and the latter was both debatable and not a crime.

It was overall very fun and chaotic. I was a barrister for the defence.

We also had people playing characters to be called as witnesses. The person playing Odysseus had to be told to stop lying while under oath (we all swore and Oath to Zeus Horkios).
