I wore my fairy dress of turquoise tulle and a happy expression of foolish joy and danced until midnight.

mythology meme: euphrosyne, greek goddess of cheer, joy and mirth.

❝ The ring is on my hand, And the wreath is on my brow – Satins and jewels grand,  And many a rood of land,  Are all at my command,  And I am happy now! ❞ ― Bridal Ballad, Edgar Allan Poe

through zeus, demeter became the mother of persephone. when persephone was taken to the underworld by hades, demeter searched everywhere to find her missing daughter to no avail. when she was informed that hades had taken persehone, demeter neglected her duties as goddess of agriculture, plunging the earth into a deadly famine where nothing would grow, causing mortals to die. zeus ordered hades to return persephone to her mother to avert the disaster. however, because persephone had eaten food from the underworld, she could not stay with demeter forever but had to divide the year between her mother and her husband, explaining the seasonal cycle, as demeter does not let plants grow while persephone is gone.

"The legend of Scylla was more extensive. She was the daughter of Phorcys and Crataeis, or of Typhon and Echidna, or of Poseidon. According to others, her mother was Lamia, that queen of Libya who was loved by Zeus and saw her children perish as a result of Hera's jealousy. In her misery she went out of her mind and devoured babies whom she tore from their mothers' arms. Scylla was at first a nymph of rare beauty. Whether it was because she repelled the advances of Glaucus and Glaucus punished her for disdain, or whether, on the contrary, she had given herself to Poseidon and thus excited Amphitrite's jealousy, Scylla was changed by Circe into a monster. While she was bathing in a pool into which Circe had thrown certain magic herbs, six necks suddenly sprang from her shoulders, necks of monstrous length, surmounted by six frightful heads, each supplied with a triple row of teeth.

She lurked in a dark cavern hollowed in the middle of a reef from which emerged only her heads, which snapped up passing dolphins, the dogs of the sea, and those of 'the enormous monsters nurtured by the noisy Amphitrite whom she was able to seize'. When a ship passed within her reach each of her heads would carry off a man from the bench of rowers, and no vessel could boast of escaping Scylla without loss. When Hercules brought Geryon's herd through the straits of Sicily, Scylla seized and devoured one of the oxen. Hercules killed her, but she was resuscitated by her father Phorcys, and mariners passing the straits of Sicily continued to dread the twin perils of Charybdis and Scylla."

books i read in 2021: the silence of the girls by pat barker

What will they make of us, the people of those unimaginably distant times? One thing I do know: they won’t want the brutal reality of conquest and slavery. They won’t want to be told about the massacres of men and boys, the enslavement of women and girls. They won’t want to know we were living in a rape camp. No, they’ll go for something altogether softer. A love story, perhaps? I just hope they manage to work out who the lovers were.

His story. His, not mine. It ends at his grave.

mythology meme: the hesperides

❝ Before thee stands this fair Hesperides, With golden fruit, but dangerous to be touch'd; For death-like dragons here affright thee hard: Her face, like heaven, enticeth thee to view Her countless glory, which desert must gain; And which, without desert, because thine eye Presumes to reach, all thy whole heap must die. ❞ ― William Shakespeare, Pericles, Prince of Tyre
