GOD THANK YOU I’m currently reading TSH and couldn’t find anything on this specific quote!!!!!

This may interest Secret History fans

“We’re all a lot better off.” "Some of us are, you mean.” Henry smiled acidly. “Oh, I don’t know,” he said. “Πελλαιου βους μεγας ειν Αιδη.” This was something to the effect that, in the Underworld, a great ox costs only a penny, but I knew what he meant and in spite of myself I laughed. There was a tradition among the ancients that things were very cheap in Hell.

This morning I googled this line to find the context, and found a number of Secret History readers who were puzzled by it.  Someone correctly placed it in Callimachus, but couldn’t account for the fact that it doesn’t mention pennies.  Here’s a non-literal translation:

“If there’s pleasure in death, and sure I speak true, Pellaeus’ fat ox will be happy as you.”

[Alternately, Πελλαιου might not be a proper name but rather an adjective meaning “darkly-coloured”, in which case it would be “A big black ox will be happy as you.”] 

Well, this is indeed a line in Greek about an ox in Hades, with some appropriate pessimism and dark humour, but it’s the wrong one.  The complete epigram doesn’t mention the expense of the ox; it’s just saying that there’s no real afterlife and both humans and oxen go to the same place in the end and have about the same experience.

The correct line is found in Callimachus, Iamb 1 fr. 191, in which a long-dead poet announces:

“…οὐ γὰρ ἀλλ᾿ ἥχω ἐχ τῶν ὅχου βοῦν χολλύβου πιπρήσχουσιν.”

“…for I have come from the place where an ox costs a penny.”

I don’t think this is a mistake on the part of Tartt or her editors; I think it’s Richard being an unreliable narrator, even about a thing of minor importance. In the context of the book, Henry might be making a dark comment about who is “better off” in Hades which Richard (with his inferior Greek skills and obsession with money) interprets the wrong way.  Richard makes a lot of hasty conclusions and does a lot of sloppy Greek homework, but Henry simply wouldn’t get that reference wrong.

Anyway, since I had to go chasing that reference this morning for unrelated reasons I thought I’d toss it in the Secret History fandom tag.

Edit: I wondered if I’d written about this before and I had, half of the way: an alternate translation for the epigram exists that might make sense of that “Pellaiou” without involving the iamb…but the iamb is a much more straightforward expression of the idea.

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

truly nothing about house md prepares you for wilson. he's fucking insane. he's been divorced three times. he's the only person who can scheme just as well as house. he gives a patient his own liver bc he felt bad for him - a patient who didn't even know wilson's name. btw. he noticed a patient had depression bc he never mentioned his grandkids. he starred in a porno. he dosed house with antidepressants for several weeks. he allowed his boybestie and his gf to share custody of him and didn't even try to stop it. house told him to buy a piece of furniture that represented who he was, and he bought a $4000+ organ for house. he was gonna torpedo his career to talk abt euthanasia bc one of his patients suffered longer than he had to. he let house move into his 1 bed apartment bc his therapist thought it'd be a good idea. this man would do anything for anybody if they let him. he'd fucking quit his job to save a snail off the sidewalk. bro is not normal in the slightest

Occasional thought

I don’t long for wealth as much as you’d think.

I’m not by any means rich, but I wouldn’t call myself miserable either — in that sense, that is.

I guess I grew accustomed to complaining about my inability to treat myself with nice things like bakery croissants while sipping on my third fifty cent caramel coffee of the day, trying not to think about the three packs of instant noodles I could’ve bought instead.

It’s not ideal, but it’s fine.

My mother, on the other hand, is the kind of person who dreams of big houses and a butler who will cook and clean for her, but the issue here is that she has the financial maturity of a five year old.

I guess I inherited that from her, and although I try to fight it, half of the time I end up with, sure, things that give me dopamine, but also no food in the fridge, no soap in the bathroom, and a dread that only someone with three mortgages or a grave illness should be able to feel, but I digress.

Once or twice, she told me that in order to get rich, I must act like I’m rich. I knew what she meant, but I don’t think she did.

Sometimes, she’ll send me articles on “how to become wealthy” or “5 things students should do to increase income” and it makes me wonder why she doesn’t do all of that herself.

Her situation makes me sad, and I think, only in these moments, do I long to have the money to make her happy.
