ὴ μὰν ἀσπουδί γε καὶ ἀκλειῶς ἀπολοίμην, ἀλλὰ μέγα ῥέξας τι καὶ ἐσσομένοισι πυθέσθαι.*

Homer, Illiad

May I not die without a fight and without glory but after doing something big for men to come to hear about.*

On 6 June 2023, the 79th anniversary of D-Day, British military veterans, dignitaries and the French general public gathered at the British Normandy Memorial Gold Beach to remember and reflect on the sacrifices of British soldiers on D-Day.

•Πολύ ρομαντική και ξενέρωτη για τα δικά σου δεδομένα .. Αλλά αυτό είμαι.. κοιτάω τον άνθρωπο και όχι το τι είναι γύρο από αυτόν ..

The worst part isn’t my sadness or the way you hurt me. The worst part, is that I feel disappointed with you. And that, hurts the most.

It is strange the way things from the past come back to haunt you, things you didn’t really notice when you were living them.

gotta ask the follow up question...

What tattoo do you want to get the most?

Nooooo I want so many though 😤😤

#that’s probably the hardest part #idk what one I would want to get first #there’s this place by me and they do this sale sometimes #where they do a bunch of different tattoos #and then it’s super cheap and you go in and point to which one you want #i don’t remember the rules or anything so don’t ask me much about it #but I’ve always thought about getting a small simple one from that just to start with #since I have no clue what to expect #I used to have a whole tattoo idea notebook #I would draw ideas #I’ve always wanted to get a matching tattoo with my sister #I had a few quotes that I thought of #but I think I would really want to do some word or phrase in Greek #also have always wanted to do some sort of wings #Idk if I would ever do it but I think it would be stunning to do a huge back piece with beautiful big angel wings #also want a crown somewhere but I feel like that’s obvious 😂😂😂 #growing up my dream was to do a full sleeve #but idk what it would be of #also have wayyyyyy too many quotes I want to do #but my memory is shit so I don’t remember them all by heart #I just love quotes and I think it would be nice to have a reminder of a good hopeful quote #especially when times are hard #I can look at my tattoo and read it and just breathe and calm down a bit #definitely didn’t answer your question I’m sorryyyyy #it’s been awhile since I’ve seriously thought about getting a tattoo #I need to focus on other things so I don’t think I’ll have money for a tattoo any time in the near future #once I move out of my current place then maybe I can think more seriously into tattoos #until then I need to get a new tattoo idea journal and start doodling in there when I get bored! #thanks for the question sweetie 💖 #ask

The privilege that Mnemosyne confers on the bard is the possibility of contacting the other world, of entering and returning from it freely. The past is seen as a dimension of the beyond.

Suzanne Collins is one of the few contemporary writers who realizes the importance of names in her stories and the significance they bear. They add so many layers to the story, additional meanings that otherwise would not have existed.

The original trilogy:

Katniss: named after a plant of which you can eat the roots. Her father taught her where to find it and told her that “as long as you can find yourself, you’ll survive” (quote may be a little bit off, but it’s from one of the early chapters in THG). Additionally, the leaves are in the shape of an arrowhead, referencing her skills with the bow which her father also taught her how to use.

Peeta: literally bread lmao. But bread is one of the basic nutritions humans need, a little bit goes a long way to keep you alive. Peeta’s presence in Katniss’s life also kept her alive, literally and figuratively—the burned bread he threw her in the flashback and their complicated relationship.

Primrose: a plant with medicinal purposes, even more significant in light of her work as a medic in Mockingjay.

Gale: literally means “strong wind” and considering that in every encounter with Katniss he’s caused some reaction, he pulls her into directions she maybe initially doesn’t want to go in. Additionally, his name also represents his determination and steadfastness in his beliefs.

TBOSAS

Lucy Gray: named after William Wordsworth’s poem “Lucy Gray” which is about the titular character of the poem who got lost during a blizzard. She literally got lost in snow. Rachel Zegler sang this poem in two parts on the original soundtrack of the movie. When Snow asked who the girl in the song is, Lucy answers that she’s a mystery, just like her.

Snow: aside from the obvious snow references, I think his name is most significant in relation to Lucy and the poem. The only one who knows what caused her disappearance is Snow. He is the reason that Lucy is gone. But her traces in the snow are still visible. He will always remember her because the memory of Lucy has manifested itself in every part of his life.

Coriolanus: named after the Roman general (and also the titular character of Shakespeare’s play), Coriolanus wanted to attack Rome and become its ruler. He was scorned and celebrated by the people, only to be later exiled from the city by them. In TBOSAS, Coriolanus is the star pupil at the Capitol’s academy but sent into exile to the districts after he won the Games with Lucy through cheating.

Volumnia: Coriolanus mother who played a part in his ascent to power. In TBOSAS, she almost serves like a mentor to Coriolanus, teaching him how to think in terms of power.

(Edit) Sejanus: a roman soldier who was betrayed by the roman emperor Tiberius, just like the future president betrayed him.

(Edit) Plinth: got this info from here, but it was too good not to include here. A plinth is a base for a statue or vase to stand on. After Sejanus’s death, all of the Plinth fortune was given to Snow for being such a good to friend him. It was this money that skyrocketed the Snow family from poverty to filthy rich. The Plinth money was the foundation upon which Snow built his power.

There are so many other names that have historical (mostly Roman and Greek) connotations—Plutarch, Seneca, Cinna—but also regular names like Trinket and Beetee bear meanings that represent the character beautifully.

Names are important. For any lover of literature or (aspiring) writers, please look closely at them. They can shape your story into something unique.

Feel free to correct me if I’ve said something wrong. I know there are many names missing, but I can only add so many examples ✊🏻😔
