Okay guys knowledge-bomb time!

Did you know that the Sirens (Σειρῆνες) come from the Greek word "σειρός" which means both "bright" and "hot"?

THIS is why the song of the sirens is deadly, painful and dangerous to hear. Because it literally burns you. Odysseus was listening to the song (the metaphor for wisdom knowledge or potential self-discovery, the knowledge that Odysseus was looking for all his life with his natural curiosity manifests in that scene) of the Sirens (bearers of knowledge and tales) and he feels literally burning inside!

Which is why in my opinion is absolutely perfectly right that all the good or relatively good adaptations of the Odyssey have Odysseus gasping for air or feeling totally exhausted after passing the sirens (see for example in the amazing 1968 version).

Because he must have felt himself literally burning from inside out!

The Sirens are not just alluring you! They are literally BURNING you! And anyone who doesn't show this danger of theirs and their important role in the Odyssey or twist it don't do good job! And I'll die on that hill!

(Another use of the word "σειρός" can be found to the bright star Sirius/Σείριος which is a bright and arguably hot star in the sky)

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

The urge to reread the Iliad.

The Iliad is probably one of the funniest books I ever read

Like I'll be having a not-so-good day, then remember how Hector had given himself an entire pep talk to fight Achilles. He saw Achilles running full speed towards him and proceeds to just book it.

Or when Menelaus got shot by an arrow in like in an ultimately nonfatal spot, and Agamemnon begins prematurely mourning him while he's standing there like 🧍‍♂️” you're scaring the men.”

Or when Odysseus is walking around the camps with a royal scepter and is just beating people with it if he finds them packing or suggesting to leave.

Or when Hector is brainstorming on how to face Achilles and for a moment goes, “Maybe I could talk with him, we’re both princes, we can both be rational, I could reason with him… that's a horrible fucking idea.”

I have more, but these, in particular, really tickle me.

Tbh sometimes my phone feels like the one ring, or the arken stone. Essentially a mystical object they brainwashed me into obsession with it. It’s ick bro

Things I like about this decal on a restaurant window: -the insane orange waiter -that he’s carrying his plates in the air like a strongman -the couple looks like this isn’t the first time he’s done this, but it’s easier to just let it happen at this point. -the sign says PASTA as if he’s screaming it like a frankenstein -but he’s holding a plate of an entire chicken and a plate of wine glasses -there’s three wine glasses -one’s for him.
