"Hey Ginger, what are you thinking about at 2 am?"

"Well, you know that one part in Graf's 'Apollo' where he concludes that Apollo's deathbringing is not opposed to his joy-bringing but that, in fact, through him both aspects are unified and given equal prominence?"

"Oh, you mean:

#just ginger things #I actually have a lot of things to comment on but due to general stress and such #I've been going back and reading portions of some of my homeboy Fritz Graf's papers and findings #I'm so in love with the way Graft sketches portraits of Apollo in his work tbh #Modern day Detienne type shit oh my god #The scenes being contrasted here are Apollo's entrances in his Hymns btw (Homeric)#Where Apollo appearing bow in hand is a dread image that causes fear and panic #to all the Olympians when he enters in the Pythian Hymn only for Leto to divest him of his murder-strings (his bow)#and put him back into party mode vs Delian Apollo who had all the congregation #dancing and singing just by appearing #Shakes my fist #I love Apollo so much actually genuinely adore him #apollo #greek mythology #Now to sleep for ten trillion years
