I think a lot about what animation cels I’d want on my wall if I ever get into collecting them. The Simpsons is an obvious starting point, because they did nearly 300 episodes on cels. Because I’m a bit thrifty with my purchases, I get the sense most of the more beloved scenes have been snatched up for thousands long ago, leaving less remarkable cels on the market. There’s some great scenes on display here, but what I mean is Homer going crazy or anything with Lyle Lanley is likely within possession of aristocrats.

That’s why when I’m looking for Simpsons cels, I’m looking for some of the more infamous episodes/moments. They kept producing them this way for a while after the classic era ended, yet a cel from Saddlesore Galactica or Homer Vs Dignity is probably going to be worth little to diehard Simpsons fans. But I’ll snatch it up. Give me a framed cel of the jockey eleves for $100! It’s a thought-provoking piece that deserves a special spot in the living room as a conversation starter. It’s still a work of art!

Smithers went out of town to perform in a musical in New Mexico and Burns calls him his "ball and chain" and that now he can "cut loose" 😅

Ive got a real academic in reconstructionist hellenic polytheism, but as someone who's spent the past few years studying Christian theology at university, I'm cautious of not reading my own concept of God, theology etc. into a different tradition - something I've been wondering recently, is it correct/proper to say the Greek Gods love us in the same way we would say of the Christian God? Reading some ancient sources it can almost seem as if the Greek Gods are somewhat disinterested in humanity

The involvement/interest of the divine in mortal matters is a debate people worshipping those gods have been having for hundreds of years (cf. Stoicism vs. Epicuranism). This question is very much also present in early Christianity (about that, see Did God Care? Providence, Dualism & Will in Later Greek & Early Christian Philosophy by Dylan M. Burns)

It is, frankly, a question that will not be solved. We are mortals, and no matter how much we try or convince ourselves, we have no way of knowing divine logic with certainty. I can only advise to read both stances, compare with your own experience with the gods and choose your stance.

That being said, the question of divine love (either from the gods or from us to them) is more complex. Even from a stoic point of view, I still would argue that it's not the same concept of "love" found in Christianity. For a late stoic (eg. Marcus Aurelius), the gods are perfect beings that define goodness, and yet this doesn't necessarily mean it equals to love in the Christian meaning of the word.

Which brings us to the word "philos" in a religious context, which Mikalson defines/explains as such:

φιλος, as adjective, ‘dear’. φιλος and φιλια are complex terms about which both the ancients and moderns have written books. They are problematic to translate in their noun, adjectival, and verbal forms. In a religious context an action may be φιλον to the gods or a person may be θεοφιλης. These and their verbal equivalents are often treated as ‘god-loved ’, but we must be sure of the nature of that ‘love’ because it affects so greatly our understanding of a god’s feeling for man and his actions. Φιλοσ, in classical Greek, as a noun is ‘friend’, that is ‘a party to a voluntary bond of affection and goodwill, and normally excludes both close kin and more distant acquaintances whether neighbors or fellow-citizens’. Usually with the genitive, as ‘friend of Philip’. φιλια, as the abstract noun, is ‘friendship’, ‘affection’, or ‘mutual affection’. But φιλοσ as an adjective, ‘dear’, may be applied more broadly, beyond the range of ‘friendship’ to family members, other kinds of acquaintances, and even objects. Usually with the dative, as ‘dear to the gods’. The verbal forms (φιλειν) may reject both the noun (‘to treat as a ‘‘friend’’ ’) and the adjective (‘to consider ‘‘dear’’ ’). Given the limitations of English, I transform some of the verbal expressions (for example, Χ φιλειται υπο των θεων) into a ‘dear’ form, as ‘x is dear to the gods’. ‘Dear’ seems to me best, though certainly not perfectly, to capture the adjectival and verbal uses of φιλος in a religious context without introducing inappropriate connotations of ‘love’.

- Jon D. Mikalson, Greek Popular Religion in Greek Philosophy

Alternatively, still on the interpretation of philos, Buckert says this:

Regularity of custom brings familiarity. A Greek can address a god as his dear god, philos. ‘Dearest Apollo’ cries the master of the house in excitement while looking at the statue which stands in front of his house door. When Hipponax calls on his ‘dear Hermes’ while he is obviously about to commit some theft, this familiarity seems somewhat suspect; and ‘dear Zeus’ may sound even more ironical. For Euripides’ Hippolytos, Artemis is ‘dear mistress’, indeed ‘dearest Artemis’; and yet she abandons him. ‘It would be absurd if someone were to say that he loves Zeus,’ is the blunt judgement of the Aristotelian Ethics. The poets ever since Homer proudly say that a god loves a special city or an individual man. But to be man-loving in general would be beneath the dignity of Zeus; this qualification is left for Prometheus or Hermes, at best. The same god who at times loves can also conceive hate and work destruction. The bond between a man and a god never becomes so close that it could be expressed by a positive pronoun: Greeks do not pray ‘my god!’, as Hittites or Hebrews do. The despairing question: ‘My god, my god, why hast thou forsaken me,’ is countered by the defiant assertion: ‘Father Zeus, no god is more destructive than you.’ It is left for men to endure as long as they are able.

- Walter Burkert, Greek Religion, 1991

This is where the concept of kharis takes its place. Because kharis is something that defines your personal relationship with the divine, it is less about "do the gods love us?" and more about "do I have a good relationship with this deity?"

Sorry if this answer went all over the place, but as you can see this is a packed question to which the answer depends a lot on what you perceive love to be and how you define your own relationship with deities.

#there's a quote i read not long ago about how it would have been quite alien for the ancients to say they feel love for the gods #at least in the context of epiphany #what comes up most is reverance or shock #but i can't fucking find it #if i find it back i'll add it in a reblog #sorry about that

Episode #253

WHAT THIS? 

Homer vs. Dignity Season 12 - Episode 5 | November 26, 2000 Homer agrees to be Mr. Burns “prank monkey”, accepting cash in exchange for pranking people for his amusement and mounting humiliating stunts himself. This is the one where Homer dons a panda costume and gets raped by a male panda at the zoo. Then there’s a pitiful ending at a Thanksgiving parade that barely makes sense. This episode is based on a movie called The Magic Christian, and once theorized that the reason this episode is so poorly regarded is because it’s poorly regarded by people that have not seen the Magic Christian. Well, I have seen the Magic Christian. It’s not a very good movie. And this episode mostly sucks. THE B-SODE:

South Park: “Sexual Harassment Panda” Season 3 - Episode 6 | July 7, 1999 Cartman gets sue happy after learning about sexual harassment from Sexual Harassment Panda, a costumed mascot who teaches children about sexual harassment. His given name is Tom Morris, but wikipedia seems to claim he’s Santa from Spirit of Christmas because Trey Parker offhandedly mentioned that they have the same voice. Anyway, sexual harassment laws are bad because bad people like Cartman can use it, what a great message

Homer and Virgil

The Greek Gods were depicted by Homer’s ‘The Illiad’ and ‘The Odyssey’, with both literary poems describing Greek mythological stories, such as the Trojan War. When Roman civilisation was formed-around 700 years after Homers ‘The Illiad” was written, Virgil wrote ‘The Aeneid’. 

This was a literary work depicting Trojan Aeneus’s journey from Troy to Italy, stating how he was the ancestor of the Romans, with the story including Roman Gods, Goddesses and deities throughout (Theoi.com, 2019). There are many beliefs and debates about whether Virgil plagiarised Homer, but it would answer why there are so many similarities between their works and why the Roman Gods are similar to the Greek Gods (V-T, 2011). A similarity in Homer and Virgil’s works, is presented in how the Gods are represented during storms. However, their actions display the opposite of each other, as in Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’, Poseidon starts the storm, “With that he marshalled the clouds and, seizing his trident in his hands, stirred up the sea.” (V-T, 2011); whereas in Virgil’s ‘The Aeneid’, Neptune is seen calming the storm “These were his words and, before he had finished speaking, he was calming the swell…” (V-T, 2011).

Another difference between Greek and Roman gods is their roles and traits. Greek Gods are based from human personality, having traits that determine their actions such as love and dignity; as well as being based on their role, such as how Hades in God of the underworld (Diffen.com, 2019). For the Roman Gods, they are named after objects and actions rather than personalities, and have no specific gender making them not central to Roman myths. This corresponds to how they are represented, as the Romans did not give their Gods a physical appearance. However the Greek Gods were known for being beautiful and had a heavy emphasis on their physical appearance, especially as their characteristics would have a large impact on their physical appearance (Theoi.com, 2019). The Romans would instead assign an object for their Gods, that would have fitted the description of the corresponding Greek God, such and how Zeus became Jupiter; and Poseidon became Neptune (Theoi.com, 2019).

Mortal men and women are viewed differently in Greek and Roman mythological stories. The Greeks believed that mortals could never obtain the same status as the Gods, and that mortals should instead have to honour the Gods by doing good and worshipping them their whole lives. However, the Roman civilisation wanted mortals to aspired to be like the Gods, using them as inspiration for mortals to live a good life, rather than have the belief that they could never be considered an equal (Theoi.com, 2019).
