i want a seer/priestess to jump up in the middle of the ithacan court and scream 'nobody loves you' at penelope around 17 years after odysseus left for war

and she's like 'ok rude' until odysseus comes home and tells her everything that happened while he was gone

he gets to the cyclops part and tells her his 'nobody' trick and it all clicks

Ich bin gerade mega verwirrt und will deshalb mal was rausfinden... Die Infokarten sind nämlich alle verschieden und widersprechen sich teilweise 🤔

Egal ob ihr Bezug dazu habt oder nicht (ich selbst hab gar keinen Bezug zum Thema).

Today on discovering how all my obsessions collide in increasingly fascinating ways: Angelica Kauffman, the female painter Jean-Paul Marat may or may not have had an affair with painted this picture of Catullus and Lesbia (and her dead sparrow!)

Kauffman was a Catullus fan confirmed -> I therefore conclude Marat would have read Catullus as well

follow for more extremely detailed and definitely not speculative historical facts!

i am a big believer in letting music (and other media) come to you when you're ready for it. you may only know vaguely of an acclaimed beloved artist and suspect that you'd be into them but just... not ever get around to it. and then in 15 years one of their songs just hits you the right way and what a gift to suddenly have all of their works to explore! there is no hurry; what is good is always good.

when you download a pdf and it's called like 1328723486basdf12.pdf but then you gently rename it to what it's supposed to be. that's forming a bond with a hurt and wild mythological creature and reminding it who it is.

“Cassandra’s life story tells of repeated marginalization in every respect: sexual, social, cultural and linguistic. Even in the extant ancient texts that tell her story she is generally found on the periphery of the narrative, rather than at its centre. Her rambling narratives, wandering as they do backwards and forwards through time and space, are the product a prophet who is always displaced, no matter where she is. Yet even as Cassandra is repeatedly victimized and marginalized, she boldly resists every act of oppression she faces. Her speech, in particular, both heightened and hobbled in its reach, is the weapon with which she asserts her authority.”

— Emily Pillinger, Cassandra and the Poetics of Prophecy in Greek and Latin Literature
