Barbara [Stanwyck] and I shared a table with Deborah Kerr and her husband. Deborah had an ultra-ladylike air about her that was misleading. In fact, she was quick, sharp, and very funny. She and Barbara got along like old school chums. — Farley Granger

Period dramas dresses tournament: Blue dresses Round 1- Group D: Morgan Le Fay, Merlin (gifset) vs Lygia, Quo vadis? (pics set)
Propaganda for Morgan's dress (written by a submitter):
She is magically given Roman-cut clothes in blue silk in order to become a fashionable (we are in the late 5th/ early 6th century after all) pretty lady in order to seduce her brother Arthur and become mother to his heir and nemesis, Mordred.

Can I have some classic lit recs…make me feel like Henry please <3
Oh, this would be my pleasure, my dear friend!
Caligula by Albert Camus (It's a play about Caligula)
Oresteia by Aeschylus
Cicero
Coriolanus and Titus Andronicus by Shakespeare. Coriolanus speaks about men's hubris and how pridefullness brings your downfall, while Titus Andronicus, well, I'll let you discover it by yourself:))
Marcus Aurelius, amazing works regarding stoicism
Seneca, letters to Lucilius, another great stoic
Petrarca's letters to classical authors
Ovid, the roman writer exiled by Augustus to the Black Sea, at Tomis, part of the Kingdom of Thrace (now Constanța, Romania), where he kept writing.
Bacchae by Euripides
Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz (a nobel awarded historical fiction about the life in Nero's Rome, written by a Polish writer)
Sappho, but I suggest finding a good translation with footnotes as her works have been barely maintained, and some of her poems are literally one word long.
Beyond good and evil by Nietzsche
Crime and Punishment by Dostoievsky (I won't add more as I recently conducted a full ass campaign here on how and why this book is worth it)
E.M. Cioran, A short history of decay, The demiurge, The troubles with being born. He is a bit of a nihilist. Romanian philosopher that wrote mostly in French
Machiavelli, The prince. This should be a good introduction into Machiavellism
The sacred and profane by M. Eliade is also worth a try
I believe there's no point in mentioning the Iliad and the Odyssey since everybody knows them by now. Hope you'll have fun!
Updated ~ with memes
Upon finishing my first year of uni and starting the second, there are more titles that could be added to the list:
The symposium by Plato (the og talk about the Androgynous, love. Beloved Alcibiades)
The Frogs by Aristophanes (comedy mostly)
Daphnis and Chloe by Longus (amazing, full of symbols short novella on the bucolic world of ancient Greece)
Dante. If you genuinely want trauma and pain and to be lost in documents trying to understand Dante's times/politics of Florence, do try it. Its full of religious substrata due to the century Dante lived in. If you want a counter, ridiculing the medieval mindset of "god is everything", I recommend The Decameron since Boccaccio takes it all and creates funny, unhinged and decadent stories.
Voltaire's Candide or The Optimist is more of a philosophical work, Voltaire being clearly influenced by the illuminist current. (Not specifically something henry would read, but it would definitely make you feel closer to the TSH aesthetic)
Russian lit. Again, not Henry vibe exactly, but deep enough and very insane vibes. Crime and Punishment if you want yearning, self guilt and inner struggles.
Gogol's Overcoat and The Nose if you want some Russian surrealism.

I love Pantalone, but I can just imagine him cowardly fleeing the crowds coming for his head like Nero in the final scenes of the film Quo Vadis. Running desperately through empty corridors of a lavish palace that offers no sanctuary; all its pomp suddenly meaningless.
Couldn't find the scene in the original English, so here's the Italian dub, but you can pretty much figure it out as there's not much dialogue anyway.
