Odysseus: You knew about this and didn’t tell me?

Patroclus: I don’t have the time to call you every time Achilles has a bad idea.

hmm.

#this has probably been done before but shhh #if you guys dont get it. apparently throwing an apple at someone in ancient greece was a marriage proposal or a declaration of love since- #-it was sacred to aphrodite. but i THINK the whole marriage thing is false. it was mostly just for seduction - #-but the characters are minors so we can go with the “false” version ok? ok. besides not all the myths in the pjoverse are correct anyway #shh #percy jackson fanart #riordanverse #heroes of olympus #hoo #pjo hoo toa #pjoverse #leo valdez #jason grace #annabeth chase #valgrace #fanart #pjo fanart #art #ophii #ophii draws things #im just realizing jasons plate dissapears #SHHH

why is it that 90% of criticism of the song of achilles just boils down to not accepting the conventions of romance as a genre and wanting it to simply be a different book than what it is? because seriously if you can’t get with the fact that the song of achilles is a queer romance story first and a retelling of the iliad second you’re never gonna make a criticism of it that’s interesting to me. if i wanted to read a book that was accurate to the source material then i would just read the iliad. if i wanted to read a queer romance unfolding on the backdrop of a mythical war i would read the song of achilles. if you dont understand the difference between those two things then your beef with that book is just a waste of time to me

#tangential but i think tsoa had a little bit of a hunger games effect #where it inspired so many knockoffs of itself that it retroactively is percieved as worse than it actually is #also at the end of the day its obviously not meant to be about the iliad its about tragic queer love in ancient greece #it frustrates me a lot that people really just cant understand that lmaooo #.txt #alex talks #books #bookblr #the song of achilles #the iliad #the classics #patrochilles #achilles/patroclus #ya #ancient greece #ancient rome #greatest hits

My number one classics ick is when a scholar will just insert untranslated passages of Greek and Latin into their paper. good job on the artificial inaccessibility you guys, glad you were able to gatekeep the field so none of those dirty peasants may learn stuff. its just for us cool guys who speak Greek or Latin

#This is my speaking as a classical archaeologist who can read very rudimentary Latin and pretty much no Greek #I just never got offered the classes and they weren't a requirement #I'd love if I could and I've been trying to learn latin on my own for a while but self teaching a language isn't exactly easy #I know just enough that if I find a translation that feels off I can get a dictionary and the original and see how it might be phrased #I do need a second translation too to help me find my way #classics #ancient history #tagamemnon #ancient rome #ancient greece #latin #latin literature #greek #greek literature #academics #ick

Artemis: She's ugh. You guys don't even understand. Hermes *reading a book*: Sister, i beg to differ. Artemis: You don't. Hermes*passing the page*: Athena, Athena she's so PRETTY it makes me lose my breath. Persephone*fixing some flowers*: Me next! Me next! Athena Athena she smiled at me and I fell of the stairs. Apollo: Athena... Oh Athena. She could ran me over and I would probably say thank you brother. Dionysus: Athena. Oh Athena. Just one chance we can have a beautiful eternity. Persephone: Aren't those your words? Artemis*death glare*: I hate you all. Hermes*chuckles*:Yeah. But you still stick around.

Honestly, I don't care if you got interested in history through a silly musical, or smutty fanfiction, or videogame, or whatever. I got into it through comic books. Do you like learning about weird old Romans? Yes? Then let's be nerds together.

#ancient greece nerds also welcome. i may know nothing about greece but i still love y'all <3 #positivity #jlrrt speaks

I don't need to count stitches; I operate on a vibes-based system, and counting kills my vibes 🦐🦐

#art #crochet #the shrimp emojis are part of my vibe btw #i just got done with the ribbing and i turned the work and holy shit i didn't think this would be as long as it is #it's SUPPOSED to be very baggy but this is for the back/front of the hoodie... #...and it can already wrap around my waist. this is gonna be HUGE (i am so excited) #i love obscuring my shape and body and being behind cozy layers #my hubris is unmatched. i'm glad i didn't live in ancient greece because they'd use me as a story where a god smites me for said hubris #i'm the type of insane person who simultaneously... #...has unmatched hubris but also reliably does 4×5 on my calculator because i don't trust my own skills
