Where does writing begin? Where do photographs begin? Has anyone ever called her by her right name? Would anyone ever do so? Why photograph if not in the name of the invisible, of the shadow of what or who is lost among the ashes of burned maps? How to locate her when the only map was one of her own making?

there's something about the fact that charles said he never finished reading the myth of orpheus and eurydice. he references it and yet he never finished it. he looked back, not out of fear but because edwin needed to be seen. he got edwin back. they made it out of hell. he never finished the story. he is not orpheus and edwin is not eurydice.

Someone who doesn't know anything about greek mythology watching Kaos: yh this is probs pretty accurate
Someone who knows a fair bit about greek mythology watching Kaos: this is so inaccurate they have changed everything
Someone who had studied greek mythology watching Kaos: omg omg omg so much of this is so accurate
#like eurydice wearing snake earrings and a ring bc in the myth she stepped on a snake and thats how she died#persephone and dionysis having a nice moment together bc in some versions she is his mum#Poly short for polyphemus being one eyed and working in a place called 'the cave'#dennis (the cat) literally meaning follower of dionysus#they may have taken some liberties with the myth but my god their attention to detail was amazingly accurate#my proof is that i watched this with 3 other classicists#and they all loved it#kaos#netflix kaos#kaos netflix#greek mythology

Me, in class learning about bleeding disorders: mmm...
My brain: you should make a joongdok Eurydice and Orpheus AU
Me: wha-
My brain: Yjh is Orpheus, Eurydice is Kdj
Me: now wait a sec-
My brain: (quick flash of how the story would go) okay now focus back in your class
Me: wtf- hey??
My brain: (goes silent)
Anyways I'll post the idea of it once i have the time bcs if I don't then i think it will continue to haunt me
#orv#joongdok#eurydice and orpheus au?#is this even an au they're already like them even without me having to make this#yjh will always turn back bcs he loves dokja and he's so scared to lose him again#and dokja will always follow him despite KNOWING that yjh will turn#and he loved him enough to let him try even though he knows he would fail#and the story will always be retold and it will never change#and yjh turns around not just bcs of love but bcs of that distrust that dokja won't follow him#honestly what am i even doing i feel like I'm just retelling the original novel what

The thing about my Orpheus Eurydice fic is that it will end well. I’ll spoil that part right from the beginning.
Leo will get Jason back. And he will realize just how much he’s loved and that he deserves to be loved exactly like that. Leo gets to be happy in this house.
That doesn’t mean much of the journey isn’t going to suck though!
#yes yes Orpheus turning is part of the romance of the original myth#However. Please consider Orpheus learning not to doubt Eurydice’s presence because he realizes she’d follow him to the ends of the earth#Orpheus with serious self-esteem issues realizing that he actually is *that* loved and trusted#valgrace#leo valdez#jason grace#leo x jason#jason x leo#hoo#heroes of olympus#ToA#trials of apollo#my writing#tchig

Incidentally the first version of the Orpheus myth I was ever told was the version my grandad told me and a friend when we were preteens or thereabouts, and the way he told it Orpheus’s main motivation for looking back was essentially “oh crap, what if she looks like a rotting corpse”
To this day I don’t know if that’s an established version of the myth or whether he just put that in to make the whole story more amusing to a couple of ten-year-olds
#he also told me the story of Phaeton’s chariot when I was *very* young lol#I’m not sure of the precise age but still young enough to use a dummy#(that’s a pacifier/binky for my followers across the pond)#because I had a dummy with a picture of a shooting star on it and I didn’t want to use it anymore after that story#(I also always remembered how to pronounce Eurydice because my friend said it sounded like ‘Eurodisney’#orpheus#mythology#greek mythology

Call me crazy but it's fine
On tiktok i keep getting videos of couples poking fun of orpheus and eurydice. Basically one walks in front and leads the other somewhere. A lil jokey joke.
BUT
My brain cant help but say they just dont get it. Like Orpheus loved Eurydice SOOOOOO MUCH that the idea of not being able to hear her and see her was torture for him ans when he thought they were safe he turned around to celebrate but she wasn't in the clear yet. Or another telling of the story is Eurydice trips and Orpheus turns to catch her. Any variation of the story orpheus turning around is AN ACT OF LOVE. HE LOVES HER SO MUCH THAT HE HAS TO TURN AROUND. HE HAS TO.
And its even better because Eurydice doesn't get mad at him for turning cuz she'd probably do the same. Because she loves him.
Like your telling me your just ok an normal walking in front of your lover and u don't wanna turn around for just a moment to make sure their still behind u and ok??? I DON'T BELIEVE. ARENT U AFRAID TO LOOSE THEM IN A BUSY PUBLIC PLACE, ARENT U GONNA TURN AROUND TO MAKE SURE THEIR STILL THERE???
TURNING AROUND IS AN ACT OF LOVE. AND THAT ITSELF IS THE TRAGEDY OF ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE.
#orpheus and eurydice#greek mythology#call me whatever but i just don't think u get this myth like i do#i will always turn around to make sure their behind me even if that sends them back to hades#its because i love them and need to make sure their still following me

orpheus sucked. i've said it before and i'll say it again: if you loved her you wouldn't look. rip to eurydice girl if you were married to ME i'd walk straight out of hell and keep walking and if i never saw you again it would be okay because i'd know you were alive and carry that with me and none of the rest of it would matter because THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS and anything else makes my skin crawl. your husband fuckin SUCKSSSSS dude i'm so sorry. i'm so sorry an ugly bitch would do you like that i'm SO s
#is this a bad faith reading? yes. is it in response to people being condescending about this myth again? yes#the last time i posted about this a bunch of classics majors were like you've gotten the myth wrong#there are X reasons he looked back that didn't have to do with him being a little bitchass who can't follow clear directions#but listen. the only fucking thing people ever say is how he looked back out of love#and lemme shout it from the mountaintops#I DON'T WANT TO BE LOVED LIKE THAT!!! I DON'T WANT TO LOVE LIKE THAT!!!!!!!#IT SUCKS!! EURYDICE YOU CAN DO BETTER. CALL ME#there's too much adam in me for this nonsense. simply Do Not Look Back#JUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. YOU SELFISH BASTARD.#IF YOU CAN'T FUCKING SEE IT THROUGH THEN DON'T GO TO HELL IN THE FIRST PLACE.#to Me this is way more about selfish stupidity and possessiveness in the face of grief you refuse to process#which is actually compelling!! and interesting to explore!!#but no. god forbid. we have to suffer through a million poems of 'in that last moment eurydice knew that she was loved'#NO. FUCK OFF. SHE KNEW THAT THE SECOND HER HUSBAND SHOWED UP IN HELL FOR HER.#IN THAT FINAL MOMENT SHE KNEW HE WAS A LITTLE BITCHASS WHO CAN'T FOLLOW THROUGH ON ANYTHING. I'LL KILL YOU#this rant is obnoxious but please know i'm making my own post so as not to put tags on the post of someone who is loudly wrong about this#because i am being polite. kind of.
