amazing how the puritans are still alive and well in the great american romanticization of work and capitalism, Max Weber in da house fr fr

i literally wasn’t made to work sorry to the freaks who enjoy this grindset shit but you literally have psychological problems. i just want to sit and think and maybe talk and eat and drink

sth unironically interesting to read is the short short story Three Versions of Judas by Jorge Luis Borges

original in spanish

english ver.

italian ver. (better than english cos the original's in spanish)

also, it's about fictional scholars debating over their ancient blorbos, so peak fiction imo

did judas do something problematic?

Flint is a very reputable, and wealthy, antique dealer. One day a stranger walks into his shop and tells him he knows where to find the famed treasure of The Urca de Lima. Flint decides to fund the, slightly illegal, retrieval project. But can he trust this new partner that goes by the name of Silver?

Growing to love how German forms words. Just learned about ‘unwegsam’, which means ‘impassable’ but is literally ‘unroad-like’ - exquisite.

One of my favourites: "the dark betrayer of the wood-bear of old walls" > CAT, and that's because "the wood-bear of old walls" is MOUSE, and "the dark betrayer of mouse" is cat. As you can see the hip thing among skalds and similar figures became to make more complex kenningar.

Something that’s hardly mentioned in school is that Greek mythology is not like literature. ‘Mythology’ doesn’t have a single author, isn’t written for a single purpose, and therefore it’s completely useless to analyze it in the same way. 

So, I mean, it’s great to use mythological stories as metaphors, or to debate ethical issues or whatever, but more people need to understand there is no ‘true version’ of a story, no ‘right and wrong’, no ‘heroes and victims’, no ‘definite answer’ to anything unless you’re talking about one specific piece of literature written by one specific person. And I see so many people spitting blood when discussing Athena or Persephone or whatever - threatening each other and throwing stories and names at each other - please chill. None of you is actually right here. That’s not how the thing works.

#and it's also the beauty of myths #the impression that they've always been there #told through different versions as if they were a real event that happened #literature #mythology #tumblr
