Which Underrated Woman from History are You?

Finally got around to making a uquiz featuring six of my favourite women from history! You can either get someone from the French Revolution, Roman Republic (I know, how unexpected!) or from 1700s/early 1800s.

Featuring scientists, writers, politically active icons and a few poets whose lives were intertwined with theirs, as a treat!

Enjoy and thanks everyone for sharing! ✨

“Medea of the Palatine” isn’t even an insult. I’d be so proud if a famous person called me that.

Edward John Poynter - Lesbia and her Sparrow (1907)

passer, deliciae meae puellae, quem plus illa oculis amabat...[Catullus 3.1-5, 16-19]

The sparrow, the darling of my girl, whom she loved more than her own eyes...

"odi et amo quare id faciam, fortasse requiris nescio sed fieri sentio et excrucior"

Catullus, carmen 85

"I hate and I love, why I do this, you ask perhaps. I am not sure, but I feel it happening and I suffer because of it."

Anna Jackson, I, Clodia

#EATING this poem. not even being that annoyed by the occasional not-quite-hendecasyllabic. ough #in the narrative of the poem sequence this one is after catullus is very extremely dead if that was not clear #catullus #clodia metelli #my tongue between his teeth will speak #poetry #beeps

[just-late-roman-republic-things]

Clodia Metelli did nothing wrong. Livia probably did nothing wrong. Fulvia probably killed a guy, but I'm sure she had her reasons.

La Mélancholie, Etienne Maurice Falconet, 1774, Louvre, Paris.

(in my heart of hearts, this is a statue of Lesbia/Clodia Metelli with her sparrow)

ANCIENT WOMAN THUNDERDOME 2023: Official Bracket!!

[image description: a bracket titled Ancient Woman Thunderdome 2023. it lists 32 matchups between 64 women. all matchups are listed below. end image description.]

we have our final matches! clytemnestra, medea, antigone, and penelope are our most suggested, with honorable mentions to electra, circe, helen, and atalanta. i've seeded according to how many times each one was suggested, with more popular candidates going against less popular in the first round. HOWEVER, this is not a popularity contest! this is WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT. please vote accordingly, with consideration of physical strength, mental acuity, and magical ability.

the first round matches are as follows (note: where people suggested a group, ie. maenads, sirens, i'm acting as if one representative from that group is in the fight):

Clytemnestra vs. Niobe Electra vs. Iphis Chrysothemis vs. Cassiopeia Iphigenia vs. Semele Procne vs. Creusa Callisto vs. Europa Daphne vs. Lysistrata Philomela vs. Andromeda

Penelope vs. Antiope Atalanta vs. Stheno Dido vs. Lavinia Penthesilea vs. Nausicaä Camilla vs. Anna Briseis vs. Lesbia Agave vs. Chryseis Phaedra vs. Charybdis

Antigone vs. one of Hephaestus' "golden fembots" Helen vs. Deianeira Ariadne vs. Eurydice (from Antigone) Hecuba vs. Iambe Andromache vs. Echo Eurydice (Orpheus' love) vs. Psyche Ismene vs. Tiresias Jocasta vs. Scylla

Medea vs. a siren Circe vs. Cressida Cassandra vs. Leda Medusa vs. a maenad Hippolyta vs. Galatea Arachne vs. Pasiphae Pandora vs. Danae Io vs. Calypso

i'm hoping to start the matches next week. the first round will be four polls a day for eight days; polls will last for one day until we get to round four with eight competitors/four matchups (at which point the polls will last a week).

#mod felix #ancient woman thunderdome 2023 #i did cut out real people and goddesses but you'll be glad to know that i did count votes for clodia metelli as votes for lesbia #EDIT: i switched the bottom two quadrants so the two most popular suggestions are on opposite sides

I have a bunch of favorite Roman/Byzantine couples, ranging from Factual to Probable to Crackship. Which do you like best? (There’s no other option. You Must Choose)

"Ille mi par esse deo videtur, ille si fas est, superare divos, qui sedens adversus identidem te spectat et audit."

Catullus, carmen 51: ad Lesbiam

"He seems a god to me, he seems to, if it is permitted, surpass the gods, he, constantly sitting across you, who looks at you and listens to you."

The ressemblance between this poem and Sappho 31 is incredible. A sign that Catullus did read Sappho's poems and that she was still an important author for the Romans (even if she was a woman).
