Es conveniente considerar, por último, que el proceso contra Sócrates fue un enorme y espectacular evento ciudadano: 600 ciudadanos fueron llamados a ser jueces; no todas las cortes populares requerían un número tan alto de jueces sorteados, y para actuar todos juntos. Las etapas del proceso (como son descritas por Platón en Apología), así como los acontecimientos de la detención y la muerte (como las describe en Critón y en Fedón), deben interpretarse como lo que son, ante todo: un proceso-monstruo en el que Sócrates “venció” debido a su elección de transformarse de acusado en acusador, llevando a la ciudad democrática al paso falso de desmentirse a sí misma y revelar su propia intolerancia homicida. Con el consiguiente escándalo y vergüenza de que también el ataque explícito de Polícrates y el silencio obstinado de Isócrates (salvo una alusión en Busiris) son una señal, así como el rígido «patriotismo democrático» de Esquines medio siglo más tarde.

وَالنَّفْسُ كَالطِّفِلِ إِنْ تُهْمِلْهُ شَبَّ عَلَى

حُبِّ الرَّضَاعِ وَإِنْ تَفْطِمْهُ يَنْفَطِمِ

Loves suckling but when you wean it, will stop.”

Heracles 7: Other Notable Feats

         According to Diodorus and Apollodorus, Heracles has many other notable adventures and achievements during his quests to fulfill his labors. Some of these events (but certainly not all), are as follows:

         The 1st Olympic games: After capturing the Cretan bull, Diodorus tells us that Heracles Founded the first Olympic games in honor of his father Zeus. Heracles chose the laurel wreath crown as the prize and, as is fitting his demigod prowess, won first place in every event!

         The gifts of the gods: Diodorus also lists the boons gifted to Heracles by the gods upon return from his labors: a robe from Athena, war club from Hephaestus, horses from Poseidon, a sword from Hermes, bow and arrows from Apollo, and the Lesser mysteries, instituted by Demeter to purify him of the Centaurs murders.

         The rescue of Prometheus: The titan Prometheus, for stealing fire from Zeus and gifting it to mortals, was punished by being bound to a mountain rock and having the giant Caucasian Eagle come and peck out his regenerating liver every day. Heracles, coming upon this tragic figure, shoots down the eagle with his arrows, rescues the titan, and persuades his father to calm his anger for Prometheus’s transgressions.

         To get a deeper look into his further adventures during these times, I urge the reader to review the section on Heracles in Diodorus’ Library of History and Apollodorus’ The Library. Many more feats are listed such as Killing the Libyan giant Antaeus in a wrestling match, constructing the Pillars of Heracles to mark the end of the known world, fighting the giants of the earth with the help of the gods in modern day Italy, praying for divine intervention in the bothersome sounds of crickets at night, escaping capture and being a sacrificial victim in Egypt by King Busiris, amongst many other episodes.

Gift for Busiris of the oni variant of his OC! 👹

[doolallymagpie]

the Heirs of Set leadership

in general: five sick little freaks who enjoy killing

Imhotep: old fart who sits in a labyrinth all day, tricking people into dying

Kharis: addicted to making the High Lords of Terra start wars that kill trillions

Nyarlath: archaeologist with a betrayal fetish

Ahmanet: pretending to be really into doing charity work because she also has a betrayal fetish

Busiris: acts like a sugar daddy to countless planetary governments because, guess what he has?

naturally, Imhotep’s constantly thinking “why did these sick fucks survive the Vlka Fenryka attack on Phaester Osiris?” to which Sutekh says “come on, just kill them, you can start a new cult and get new acolytes, it’ll be so easy” and he says “that’d require getting them all in one place, my dark lord, I don’t want to look at them (it’s hard enough having to have psychic conferences)”
