Still exploring Cassandra from the Iliad, which leads to thinking about #influence 🤓 That's essentially what she loses with the curse: "the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself." 📖 Meanwhile Helen of Sparta gets a major influence boost from the gods 🙄 beauty over brains 🙄 then again, Frederick Sandys reminded me that society prefers to pit girl against girl. I've also been thinking about grade school days, so maybe I was most influential back then 🙃 "When she speaks, they listen," is a weird phrase to remember, but it's forever in my brain. My 8th grade science teacher wrote it in a note to my parents. Was I an anti-Cassandra? Wielding such power without even speaking most of the time 😆 Who else peaked in middle school? Just me? 💁‍♀️ #cassandracomplex #iliad #helenoftroy #cassandra #fuckthepatriarchy #preraphaelite #arthistorybuff https://www.instagram.com/p/CmP-ZQnsqbUMJqhp3Tg-WZ3tLzRrRijhanFmlA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Murder, incest, betrayal, curses, and cannibalism — this week’s episode has it all. Inspired by a gruesome feast on Mt. Olympus, we’re sipping an Ivory Shoulder, an unusual cocktail for an unusual tale.

Ivory Shoulder

2 oz gin, a citrusy one is nice here

1/2 oz liquore Strega

1 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice

1/2 oz simple syrup, I used the Rosemary simple syrup that we made a few weeks ago

Sprigs of basil, reserve a bit for garnish

Club Soda to taste

Put your gin, Strega, lemon juice, simple syrup and 2-3 leaves of basil into your shaker. Give it a shake like you have delirium tremens, strain and pour over ice, adding a bit of club soda to tame the herbal Strega. Add a basil leaf to garnish.

The Penelopiad (Canongate Myths)

The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood is a retelling of the life of Penelope, and the fate of the 12 maids from the Odyssey. In this contemporary tale, Atwood delves into the question of why were the twelve maids hanged and what led up to their fate? The story is told primarily from the perspective of Penelope, dead in the underworld, retelling her life on earth with interjecting sections from the point of view of the maids. These interjecting sections are told in a number of different forms including poetry, a trial, a play, and a love song. Penelope’s tale takes us from her birth, childhood, and marriage to Odysseus, through her 20 lonely years to her life after Odysseus returned, and her afterlife. Atwood has filled in the gaps with how she believes Penelope may have been acting and what she may have been feeling throughout her life, and while using the maids as a sort of tragic chorus, commentating on their lives, Penelope, and their hanging.
