#Cornelius Nepos

[hexjulia]

looking up some of the authors probably used as sources by plutarch and i.

[augustineconfessing]

I knew something was funky with my latin homework when I fully had the sentence "he killed him a little" in my notes. :/

[jewfrogs]

im really trying not to nitpick the latinist and appreciate it in the moment et cetera but if this authors name is supposed to be publius marius scaeva why would classicists commonly call him marius. thats sort of taken

[the-busy-ghost]

Guess what we're finally listening to on a very quiet spring evening, with the window open so that anyone walking down the vennel as dusk falls gets the shit scared out of them by Richard Burton's voice looming ominously out of the darkness

THE TERROR ▸ 1.08 terror camp clear

Look, I’m a historian.

I must relate the deeds of men as they happened even if my people find them shameful.

YES, teenagers from Crete are encouraged to be polyamourous and YES, Spartian widows had sex for money.

But I digress. Now about the great generals of foreign lands…

My TKDB ramble theory

Here I'm going to yap all my thoughts about this game so far. (There will be spoiler if u haven't play far)

Leo said ghouls are hand picked by demons so I assume you can't just summon a demon and form a pact. But Alan said he become ghoul accidentally? That's funny. And when did they exactly become ghouls? Alan murdered Dante in middle school and ain't no way a teen can brutally break adult bones unless he's already a ghoul at that time.

Sho and Jin family is related to Darkwick too, I wonder if they know the conditions to be picked by demons? Is it simply desperation and desire? Or it got something to do with how fucked their family are?

I'm also guessing since Lucas demon forcefully take his twin bro, so there's a price beside their soul that the demon take? Is it something precious to them so the demon take it for ransom? And not to mention the side effects in that Haku mentioned.

This game also empathize EYES 👁️. Anomaly creature in campus is all eye monster, the monster that curse MC also an eye monster. Does that means Towa an anomaly or non human? Why his pupil goat/horse? Or it's because his demon is Amdusias (a horse/unicorn) ?

Something about Lyca too, according to Romanian mythology: if a werewolf dies then they will return as a vampire aka Pricolici. Unrelated to the game but it's interesting since Lyca is Romanian. Makes me wonder if DA imprisoned Lyca because they can't handle another vampire like Ed. On why he treated so hostile by DA but let Taiga roam around cuz ultimately Taiga is just a human.

Now about the clash / murder case

What we know so far is:

The murder came first before the clash (One Eyed Sleeping Beauty) the victim is someone from Ultio?

There's 5 suspect (Towa, Rui, Ed, Alan, Jiro)

Gen Students think the murder cause an uproar among Ghouls and started the clash

Many died during the clash including gen student. Known victims (Zenji Kotodama, Jiro Kirisaki)

3 houses ended up disbanding, but why the rest stay? Disbanded house: Clementia (Church), Ultio (prison across Hotarubi lake), Dionysia. Iirc there's originally 10 houses yes? With Obscuary being built 2 years ago, housing dangerous ghouls only.

And something about being pro-anomaly? I'm assuming an anomaly aggravated the ghouls to become violent? Then houses start fighting -> The Clash

I assuming the house that disbanded either lost too much blood and dispersed or the main culprits that started the Clash. Perhaps Dionysia is pro anomaly and since Ultio is the opposite they fought and Clementia tries to break them off?

[Edit: finished EP 6 and what Old Man Ed said is something that can't be ignored. The chat section in that episode help explain further]

I don't understand the politics around DA, just something about hating anomaly and the opposite. Aren't DA a research facility specifically focusing on anomaly? Idk the gen students is stupid and evil, it's literally their job. They should've be neutral not against anomaly. The Ghouls are not well liked by the Gen students with the exception of Rui and Hotarubi ghouls ig (Jin doesn't count cuz he's a nepo baby)

In return ghouls don't necessarily befriends or rely on other students. I think things would be a lot peaceful if DA takes hand in making the students and ghouls get along as a team rather than separating them from missions. Stupid ass Cornelius, I feel it's obvious they're favoring gen students more than ghouls cuz they only see them as research materials rathen than actual living beings. The ghouls keep getting hurts!

That's all the rambling for now (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

A huge package arrives at the door labeled “to Helene from your godfather”

The box is full with over 70 books. Multiple books from Plutarch, Cornelius Nepos, Polybios and Arrian. A third of the books were newer looking books about the history of Egypt. The books on the top were all about artillery except for one about modern weapons. On the bottom there was one book by Rousseau, this one looked a lot less cared for and had burn-marks on its sides.

A letter attached read

“It took me a while to pile them all up for you, but I’m sure these books will be a grate influence on you and will be grate for your education.

These are all my personal favorites I’m sure you will enjoy them just as much”

-@alexanderfanboy

“Papa! Can we build one? Pleaaaase?” Helene holds up the book with the instructions on how to build a tabletop catapult. All in the appreciation of history and mathematics, of course.

Bessières, meanwhile, wonders about how many windows will be broken and despairs over his Imperial Majesty’s spelling. Well, it’s still better than Lannes’, he sniffs. “Alright, my sweet, we can build one, as long as you promise to not use it inside or at the house.”

“Yay!” Helene giggles, grinning ear to ear.

“But after you write a thank you to your godfather first. Time to practice your letters, like how Mademoiselle Brown showed you.”

[@alexanderfanboy will receive a crude but cute crayon doodle back, of him in his school uniform with a big cannon going “BOOM” and “tank you” scrawled under it.]

When did Cicero and Atticus meet? Are they childhood friends or have they met later in life? Thought I'd ask a professional since Google is of no help.

Not being a professional or an expert on these two, sometimes I have to remind myself that they did not spontaneously spawn as an old gay couple, but -

In the number of [Atticus' fellow students] were Lucius Torquatus, Caius Marius the younger, and Marcus Cicero, whom he so attached to himself by his intercourse with them, that no one was ever more dear to them.

- Cornelius Nepos: Life of Atticus

Obligatory eyebrow raise on the word intercourse. Anyway, they studied together, and the other two mentioned here with them are also interesting. Marius the younger and L. Torquatus who is going to fight for Sulla very soon?! So these are the roots of Atticus' strategy of being friends with both sides?

[kebriones]

Do you think the song "Don't Lose ur Head" would fit Alcibiades? OK, sure, he doesn't get beheaded, but the way you present him to me gives the vibe of someone who just wants to have someone fun, claims that he doesn't want to hurt anyone, but his actions end up hurting people whether intentionally or not.

I think when he does hurt people it's 100% intentional. I do tend to focus on the more wholesome Alcibiades that's in Plato, but in Thucydides he purposefully does things specifically to hurt Athens, for example, and by extention a lot of people.

I do agree that in some occasions, like punching hipponicus, partying, drinking and potentially profaning the mysteries and stuff, he wanted to just have fun but people didn't like it at all.

And yess there were some lyrics in that song that do really fit him!! 🤔🤔🤔

ALSO. Funny little beheading detail: In the account of his death given by Cornelius Nepos, he does actually get beheaded! After the assassins kill him they take his head to the satrap for proof.

For further details on that, here's a pdf on jstor on the various versions of his death:

own a private plane? consider themself self made or a nepo baby?

Own a private plane?

Absolutely not, she was tempted at one point because a private jet would be so convenient but she just finds it wasteful. She's always been a bit of an environment girly so she'll just fly business or first class, nbd.

Consider themself self made or a nepo baby?

She considers herself like 80% self-made, 20% incredibly lucky-- she acknowledges that without her husband financially supporting her while she was trying to make it in the industry and working on her Masters degree, she might have given up or at least struggled much longer than she did struggle. Her husband did not buy her a career, but he did foot the bill for studio time to record quality demos to send to labels.

Cornelius had no industry connections, but his money provided a safety net for her that would not have been there otherwise and she does know how lucky she was. She wouldn't say she's a nepo baby but does acknowledge the fact that before she had a label, her husband's name would've been hyperlinked in blue on Wikipedia.

Early life and education.

Jedaiah Mosha Lim was born on April 24, 1995, in Seoul, and grew up in there. He moved to Jakarta in 2011 due to personal reasons and so he work both in South Korea and Indonesia under the same agency, HLA & Co. Jeremiah Lim, his father, is a Canadian-Korean chef who runs restaurants in several countries. Inggrid Carmelita Lee, his mother, is an Indonesian-Korean. The first born of Lim, Theodosia Lim, is a business woman who owns a beauty brand Skèenosia with the help of Mosha Lim as co-owner and the brand ambassador. His brother, Joe Lim, is an editor for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

He is a multilingual speaker. He communicates in Korean, English, and Bahasa Indonesia. Yet he stated that he is not fluent in Bahasa Indonesia¹.

Rise to prominence.

Mosha is a South Korean actor under Hoshka Lim Agency (HLA & Co.). The issue was raging because his name was similar to the agency and people started calling him Nepo Baby. Yet the agency released their statement that Mosha is a self made-up actor who built his reputation from scratch.

He began his career as a kid in television productions, appearing in the drama series Run Away in 2000. In 2004 he made his film debut in the comedy drama How to Be Gangnamian and appeared in Jo Kihyun’s romance film Should Be You as Lee Yoo. Mosha came to international attention with the lead role in Brigitta Kim’s film What Mommy Should Do (2006), earning him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Alongside supporting roles in Monica Gerwig's films To The Bone (2007) and I Am You (2012), he took on starring roles as drug addict Denny ‘Sinting’ Yang in the Indonesian movie Kapan Kapok? (2015), Joe Kim in Henry Leigh's fiction film Memory (2020), and a romantic horror film Three of Us (2022), which he also produced.

Public image and fashion.

Several media publications consider Lim to be among the most talented actors of his generation.Remarking upon his performance, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote that “he might be the male actor of his generation”. In 2018, he appeared in Forbes’s 30 Under 30 Hollywood & Entertainment list.

Off-screen, Lim has been described by the media as a fashion icon, with his looks highlighted as his trademarks. Vogue named him the most influential man in fashion in 2019, writing “those fashion choices are all the more impressive considering that Lim styles himself”. In 2020, GQ ranked him as the best-dressed man in the world.

Personal life.

Lim splits his time between Seoul and Jakarta. Despite significant media attention and public interest, he rarely discusses the romantic aspects of his personal life.

Lim is an avid sports fan; in his youth, he aspired to be a professional swimmer. He enjoys hip-hop music and considers rapper Kid Cudi to be his biggest career inspiration.
