#Lotus-Eaters

Lotus-eaters were like "ugh, these damn tourists again. Send 'em to the cave, lmao"

I'm going to start my third year of classics at Uni and last week I read for the first time the whole Homer's Odyssey and an analysis by Jean-Pierre Vernant "The Universe, the Gods, and Men". I was so hyped and amazed by this story -that I already knew but never read- that I picked up my pen again and I drew this.

I also listened to Epic the musical for the first time while drawing this and I was speechless!

So here's my interpretation of Odysseus and his dog Argos, surrounded by tokens of everything he went through :)

I like the idea of lotus controlling the thoughts of lotus-eaters. Therefore, all the "infected" have lotus flowers on their heads, like wreaths or something similar

LUAS TRAM STOP AT BROADSTONE AND THE ENTRANCE TO GRANGEGORMAN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS

Broadstone railway station was the Dublin terminus of the Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR), located in the Dublin suburb of Broadstone. The site also contained the MGWR railway works and a steam locomotive motive power depot.

I USED A SIGMA DP1 QUATTRO I am still experimenting with my old Sigma DP1 Quattro and today, 24 April 2023, I photographed in manual mode and underexposed as the camera was inclined to over expose despite any settings that I make. In the “Lotus-Eaters” episode of James Joyce’s Ulysses Bloom imagines that the couple leaving the Grosvenor Hotel are “Off to the country: Broadstone probably,” and…

why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees

The Lotus Eater: Odalisque

[whumpster-dumpster]

I'll never get enough of those plots where characters are trapped inside their own minds, whether it's their worst nightmare or an idyllic (ever so slightly off) fantasy, and the others have to figure out how to wake them up ❤️ It's always so fun to see how their subconscious works against them

the gang when there's a new incident

[cartoonfan7]

Gonna be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that the fandom hasn't really tried to extrapolate what a Dipperland would be like, a dream bubble prison meant to entice specifically Dipper into staying the way Mabelland did for Mabel, particularly since we know what Mabelland was originally going to show Dipper thanks to the episode commentaries. I'd like to think that in contrast with Mabelland, which was very obviously indulging in Mabel's desire to escape into fantasy and never grow up, to the point that Mabel is somewhat aware of what Mabelland is doing, if not to what extent, why, or what's really outside of it, Dipperland would essentially leave Dipper in the dark about being in a prison and essentially play an idealized version of his life on fast-forward, where he and Mabel get to stay in Gravity Falls, he gets to study under Ford, their parents move to Gravity Falls, and several other things happen that sound too good to be true if they happened all at once, but the time skips/dream logic causes Dipper to not question it that much. Like, Ford eventually bringing Tyrone back, for example.
