A History and Greek Mythology Nerd Reacting to Dimension 20's Titan Takedown - Episode 2 (+AP)

< First part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

Nikè, we love you

The players immediately having Chelsea’s back against Aphrodite♥️

Obligatory “Zeus can’t keep it in his pants”-joke

Rolling intimidation against Zeus is so funny. Nyx vibes

Don’t you talk about Medusa

Demeter! Girl, I just mentioned you in my thesis!

I mean, when your name is “Thanaformus”, I’d say death is a pretty significant part of your curse

Okay, that ties into what I was saying last week. Hades doesn’t just curse you on a whim like that. He was prob trying to teach you a lesson

Pythagoras’ cult is gonna be pissed

Let’s put the blame for the Trojan War where it belongs: Paris

Oh-ow, where Athena @?

What if they team up with Team Cursed?

Poseidon: “Romantic love is more powerful” Aphrodite and me, an aromantic: *Press X to doubt*

Brennan looked so excited when a dance battle was mentioned

I know we’re fast and loose with anachronism in this, but I still just really wanna say

“Ah yes, the Ancient Greek printing press”

Dionysos must love this

Yup, I thought it might be Daphne. Don’t you even think about it, Apollo

Shout out art department

They’re probably gonna have to go up against The Cursed and have some moral dilemmas

But who’s the fourth member of The Cursed? My money is on Scylla, or someone similar. That would be really cool. I wonder what that mini would look like

Ancient Greek Women Mathematicians you didn't know about

Αίθρα - Aethra (10th - 9th century BC), daughter of the king of Troizina Pitthea and mother of Theseus, knew mathematics in another capacity unknown to many. So sacred to the beginnings of the most cerebral science, Aethra taught arithmetic to the children of Troizina, with that complex awe-inspiring method, since there was no zero… and the numbers were symbolically complex, as their symbols required many repetitions.

Πολυγνώτη - Polygnoti (7th - 6th century BC) The historian Lovon Argeios mentions Polygnotis as a companion and student of Thalis. A scholar of many geometric theorems, it is said in Vitruvius' testimony, that she contributed to the simplification of arithmetic symbols by introducing the principle of acrophony. She managed this by introducing alphabetic letters that corresponded to each in the initial letter of the name of the number. Thus, Δ, the initial of Δέκα (ΤΕΝ), represents the number 10. X, the initial of Χίλια (Thousand), represents the number 1000 etc. According to Vitruvius, Polygnoti formulated and first proved the proposition "Εν κύκλω η εν τω ημικυκλίω γωνία ορθή εστίν" - "In the circle the angle in the hemi-circle is right angle."

Θεμιστόκλεια - Themistoklia (6th century BC). Diogenes the Laertius scholar-writer mentions it as Αριστόκλεια - Aristoclia or Θεόκλεια - Theoclia. Pythagoras took most of his moral principles from the Delphic priestess Themistoclia, who at the same time introduced him to the principles of arithmetic and geometry. According to the philosopher Aristoxenos (4th century BC), Themistoclia taught mathematics to those of the visitors of Delphi who had the relevant appeal. Legend has it that Themistoclia decorated the altar of Apollo with geometric shapes. According to Aristoxenos, Pythagoras admired the knowledge and wisdom of Themistoclia, a fact that prompted him to accept women later in his School.

Μελίσσα - Melissa (6th century BC). Pupil of Pythagoras. She was involved in the construction of regular polygons. Lovon Argeios writes about an unknown work of hers: "Ο Κύκλος Φυσίν - η Μελίσσα - Των Εγγραφομένων Πολυγώνων Απάντων Εστί". (The title translates to "The circle is always the basis of the written polygons" or so.)

Τυμίχα - Tymicha (6th century BC). Thymiha, wife of Crotonian Millios, was (according to Diogenes Laertius) a Spartan, born in Croton. From a very early age, she became a member of the Pythagorean community. Iamblichus mentions a book about "friend numbers". After the destruction of the school by the Democrats of Croton, Tymicha took refuge in Syracuse. The tyrant of Syracuse, Dionysios, demanded that Tymicha reveal to him the secrets of the Pythagorean teaching for a great reward. She flatly refused and even cut her own tongue with her teeth and spat in Dionysius' face. This fact is reported by Hippobotus and Neanthis.

Βιτάλη - Vitali or Vistala (6th – 5th century BC). Vitali was the daughter of Damos and granddaughter of Pythagoras, and an expert in Pythagorean mathematics. Before Pythagoras died, he entrusted her with the "memoirs", that is, the philosophical texts of her father.

Πανδροσίων ή Πάνδροσος - Pandrosion or Pandrossos (4th century AD). Alexandrian geometer, probably a student of Pappos, who dedicates to her the third book of the "Synagogue". Pandrosion divides geometric problems into three categories:" Three genera are of the problems in Geometry and these, levels are called, and the other linear ones."

Πυθαΐς - Pythais (2nd century BC). Geometer, daughter of the mathematician Zenodoros.

Αξιόθεα - Axiothea (4th century BC). She is also a student, like Lasthenia, of Plato's academy. She came to Athens from the Peloponnesian city of Fliounda. She showed a special interest in mathematics and natural philosophy, and later taught these sciences in Corinth and Athens.

Περικτιόνη - Periktioni (5th century BC). Pythagorean philosopher, writer, and mathematician. Various sources identify her with Perictioni, Plato's mother and Critius' daughter. Plato owes his first acquaintance with mathematics and philosophy to Perictioni.

Διοτίμα - Diotima from Mantineia (6th-5th century BC). In Plato's "Symposium", Socrates refers to the Teacher of Diotima, a priestess in Mantineia, who was a Pythagorean and a connoisseur of Pythagorean numerology. According to Xenophon, Diotima had no difficulty in understanding the most complex geometric theorems.

Iamblichos, in his work "On Pythagorean Life", saved the names of Pythagorean women who were connoisseurs of Pythagorean philosophy and Pythagorean mathematics. We have already mentioned some of them. The rest:

Ρυνδακώ - Rynthako

Οκκελώ - Okkelo

Χειλωνίς - Chilonis

Κρατησίκλεια - Kratisiklia

Λασθένια - Lasthenia

Αβροτέλεια - Avrotelia

Εχεκράτεια - Ehekratia

Θεανώ - Theano

Τυρσηνίς - Tyrsinis

Πεισιρρόδη - Pisirrodi

Θεαδούσα - Theathousa

Βοιώ - Voio

Βαβέλυκα - Vavelyka

Κλεαίχμα - Cleaihma

Νισθαιαδούσα - Nistheathousa

Νικαρέτη - Nikareti from Corinth

There are so many women whose contribution to science remains hidden. We should strive to find out about more of them! For more information, check out the books of the Greek philologist, lecturer, and professor of ancient Greek history and language, Anna Tziropoulou-Eustathiou.

Me watching the puppet history season 7 finale: yeah ofc Dr. Sprat was evil I thought that was obvious, I clocked that from the beginning

Me when it was revealed that he was not only fucking PYTHAGORAS HIMSELF but also the foil to the Professor who successfully took over the show:

[theeddyinbetween]

puppet history s7 was so good!!!!!!!

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

all of the vegapunks speak quite distinctly, and from what i’ve seen, they all use different personal pronouns with different levels of formality! going in order from what we’ve seen so far:

1: shaka speaks quite formally (for a man, which i’m loosely assuming he is)- he uses watashi as his personal pronoun, which places him in a neutral/formal spot, and uses kimi to address the strawhats (which is somewhat diminuitive/maybe a little condescending) but omae to address dragon (conclusion: ???).

2: lilith speaks like a stereotypical old man- she uses washi as her personal pronoun and the masculine omae as her ‘you’ pronoun, and tends to use ja as her sentence-ending copula instead of da.

3: edison speaks kansai-ben (though i don’t know enough to say if it’s a specific subdialect)- he self-references with wai, which is a dialectal variant of the washi pronoun that lilith uses, and ends his sentences with ya in place of the regular da.

4: pythagoras is, from what we’ve seen so far, the most polite of the satellites- he’s the only one to consistently use polite verb forms.

5: atlas speaks probably the most aggressively, which suits her general demeanor but is very incongruous with her actual appearance- she uses the masculine ore for her first-person pronoun and omae for ‘you.’

6: haven’t really seen york speak yet besides, like, noises.

Filipino!Dr. Sprat for no reason other than I think it's cool, and I'm Filipino, so I have a moral obligation to hit every character I like with the Filipino beam. Headcanons be upon ye now

This goes hand-in-hand with Filipino!Professor primarily so that Dr. Sprat can flex how much Tagalog he knows towards the Professor who was cursed with the "being forced to learn only English" beam.

He would really enjoy learning Tagalog and hit everyone around him with the "Tinuka ng pitong puting pato ang pitumpot-pitong puting puto" and also hit them with Tagalog words that literally no one uses anymore.

He would mock the Professor and Ryan in Tagalog, and the both of them would be fuming because they know he's insulting them, but they can't fire back.

He would bring a bunch of puto after shoots and would say, "You're this except the o is replaced with the a" and the Professor would look at him very confused, chewing halfway through the puto before it clicks, and he throws the puto on the floor out of sheer rage. Meanwhile Ryan got it immediately and was laughing the entire time.

HE WOULD LOVE OPM. HE WOULD BE SO ANNOYING ABOUT OTSO OTSO.
