I decided to make a post on this since I kinda forgot to make a separate one from the master-list, but I wanted to share that I've made a free library of resources to use!

Which includes:

• The Theogony, Works and Days, The Shield

• The Odyssey and Illiad

• The Homeric and Orphic Hymns

• The Library by Apollodorus

• Hellenic Polytheism: Household Worship

and many more books / plays (Euripides, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Sophocles), secondary resources on Dionysus, etc.

also, you can message me to add some books and resources, I'll try to add it to the best of my ability (I'm uploading Euripides I to IV tomorrow probably)

I believe that when Zeus lives with his chthonic family, he always covers his face because his eyes are the sun, which is too bright for the shades of the underworld.

In LOVE with the myth that Hesiod and Homer had a singing battle in ancient Greece (they had the original rap beef I suppose)

[lionofchaeronea]

For easily he grants one strength, easily kneecaps the strong, Easily shrinks the seen-by-all and increases the unseen, Easily makes the crooked straight and withers the courageous-- Zeus the Thunderer-on-High, who dwells within the highest halls. ῥέα μὲν γὰρ βριάει, ῥέα δὲ βριάοντα χαλέπτει, ῥεῖα δ᾽ ἀρίζηλον μινύθει καὶ ἄδηλον ἀέξει, ῥεῖα δέ τ᾽ ἰθύνει σκολιὸν καὶ ἀγήνορα κάρφει Ζεὺς ὑψιβρεμέτης, ὃς ὑπέρτατα δώματα ναίει. -Hesiod, Works and Days 5-8

Reading Hesiod's work is sort of like reading a long historical text where the author takes random breaks throughout to talk about how women are the root of all evil

Inktober Día 24 - Pandora

Y aquella mujer, levantando la tapa de un gran vaso que tenía en sus manos esparció sobre los hombres las miserias horribles. Únicamente la Esperanza quedó en el vaso, detenida en los bordes, y no echó a volar porque Pandora había vuelto a cerrar la tapa por orden de Zeus tempestuoso que amontona las nubes.

Pat Bagley : Salt Lake Tribune

"There is a noise when Justice is being dragged in the way where those who devour bribes and give sentence with crooked judgements, take her. And she, wrapped in mist, follows to the city and haunts of the people, weeping, and bringing mischief to men, even to such as have driven her forth in that they did not deal straightly with her." ゆ "Talk is mischievous, light, and easily raised, but hard to bear and difficult to be rid of. Talk never wholly dies away when many people voice her: even Talk is in some ways divine." - Hesiod translated by Hugh G. Evelyn-White Works and Days

Ideal work schedule:

I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks

I complete the list

I leave immedietly

[scribefindegil]

being a writer leads to a genuinely helpful but also very stupid kind of mindfulness where you'll be having a sobbing breakdown or the worst anxiety attack of your life and think "okay, I really need to pay attention to how this feels. so I can incorporate it into my fanfiction."
