hello classical myth and 19th century france girlies i have a research question i am in dire need of answering

as part of my research for classical allusions in homoeroticism in victor hugo's les misérables, not only do i need to look into the relevant texts surrounding nisus and euryalus and orestes and pylades, but my supervisor has also advised that i look specifically into which versions of myth victor hugo would have been most familiar with if that makes sense.

for example, when discussing orestes and pylades, would hugo have been most likely referring to euripides or aeschylus? i need to research the popularity and relevance of different classical authors and their texts in 19th century france to back up my claims. translations don't matter here as i'm sure hugo would have read the texts in the original greek and latin. i'm british for starters so i'm already limited with my knowledge of prominence of classical authors as there's a chance popularity differed in france which is where my research comes in. i also don't speak latin or greek.

if anyone could help me out on this, ideally with references to books and journal articles so i can reference my own claims, that would be amazing as i'm not sure where to start. i've never studied classics and here i am writing my dissertation on them lol i am trying my best

tl;dr: when victor hugo referenced different classical characters in les misérables, which versions of the texts they feature in would he have been most likely to have studied? which classical texts featuring nisus and euryalus and orestes and pylades were most read in 19th century france?

thank you!

Normally I split this type of post in two, one with characters I've already read and loved and one with characters I want to read in the future. But I haven't read too much DC, and BDS is still calling for a boycott against Marvel while the Captain America 4 movie plans to contain Sabra, a character who is Israeli propaganda personified, and I don't want to promote any Marvel characters while that is going on. So, we have a DC only edition. The only characters in this list that I've read at least one full book for are Connor, Duke, and Virgil, so I apologize if there's any incorrect information.

made this whilst procrastinating on all my fics and responsibilities 😭 thought it might be useful cause i keep seeing different posts where ppl just don’t know the characters ages lol

also since i made similar posts on this before, thought it would be nice/helpful to group all these heroes together side by side because, why not

so here’s an age ranking of all the younger generation heroes from young justice animated

it goes from oldest to youngest

fyi jaime and tye r listed in their wikis as born 1999 but i put them in 2000 because that seems to be the general consensus and what the show suggests

bart is technically born 2043 but he’s the equivalent of born in 2003

original roy harper was physiologically 15 when he was found in 2016 so i put him as the equivalent of 2001 even though he’s born 1992

violet is technically listed as born 2018 because of their fusion with mother box but i referred to their host body’s physiological age too.

lmk if any edits r needed <3

Choose a favorite character whose name starts with "V"!

(Or a character you just want to see me write for 😁)

If you have any questions on these characters, please feel free to ask!

And if you think of someone who's not listed here that you would like to see, feel free to add a name to the comments/reblogs!

How tall do you think all the outsiders are? I love for height headcanons

On another note you’re a fantastic writer and I’m adoring the series you got going on. They’re very captivating to read

So sorry for putting this off for so long ! It’s a seriously good question and I am seriously invested and for that reason! I procrastinate so much on it lol (not to say questions i immediately answer arent, i am just all over the place 😅) (also thank u so much for the kind praise 🙏💗 I am so happy ur enjoying it and it means a lot to me <33)

this ask is especially important as it has also been asked before which i will link this post to as the answer right after :)

i’m including all former and current members for completion. Also their birth years (from the YJ wiki) for added context, because why not.

okay so based on multiple YJ scenes (some examples shown below) and 1 ask greg these r my estimates:

(disclaimer these r all rough estimates, no way of knowing for 100% sure and I don’t claim to have a complete picture of all relevant scenes for height cold reading lol i would be happy to hear other peoples thoughts/ideas/corrections as well :D )

Rough Outsiders Height Ranking:

Geo-Force - Brion Markov : (2001) probably roughly max 6 ft 4 (about 1.95m)

Cyborg - Victor Stone : (2000) maybe about 6 ft 2 -3 (about 1.9m)

Blue Beetle - Jaime Reyes : (2000) about 6 ft 2 (1.88 - 1.9m) i actually have him tied with Vic, the only reason why id rank him a little lower is because in some scenes it could be his suit giving him some height.

Static - Virgil Hawkins : (2000) about 6 ft (1.85m)

El Dorado - Eduardo Dorado Jr : (2001) actually i tied him with Virgil but i’m not always certain so i’d also estimate about 6 ft but a range of (1.83-1.85m)

Superboy - Conner Kent : (2010 lol) about 5 ft 9 (1.8m)

Robin - Tim Drake : (2001) about 5 ft 8 (1.78m)

Wonder Girl - Cassie Sandsmark : (2001) id put her at the same height as Tim maybe only slightly shorter, but Greg has mentioned they’re roughly the same height so therefore also 5 ft 8 (1.78m)

Kid Flash - Bart Allen : (2043 🙄 cause hes different like that LOL jk but he’s the equivalent age of 2003) id put him between 5 ft 6 - 5 ft 7 (about 1.7 - 1.73/4m)

Livewire - Leslie Willis : (2002) about 5 ft 5 (1.68m)

Looker - Lia Briggs : (2002) about 5 ft 4 (1.65m)

Windfall - Wendy Jones : (2005) about same as Lia maybe 5 ft 3 - 4 (1.63 - 1.65m)

Beast Boy - Garfield Logan : (2002) about 5 ft 2 - 3 (1.6-1.63m)

Stargirl- Courtney Whitmore : (2003) about 5 ft 1-2 (1.55 - 1.58m)

Terra - Tara Markov : (2003) about same as Courtney 5 ft 1-2 (1.55 - 1.58m)

Forager : (?) idk lol let’s say 5 ft 😂
