in regards to this post, I really don’t understand how Gwun has fans? like I know my favorite season is Total Drama Couchette which isn’t for everyone, but I truly don’t understand how people can care about an early boot from such a bad season as Total Drama Astronauts. Gwun doesn’t even make it to the first space training facility! Yeah it kind of sucks that she got the boot because she was in a relationship with Skourt before the show, but that doesn’t automatically make her an interesting character. It’s really just the motivation for Skourt’s antagonist plotline :/

The Greek Frontiersmen songs

The Acritic songs ("frontiersmen songs") are the epic poems that emerged in the Byzantine Empire around the ninth century. The songs celebrated the exploits of the Akritai, the frontier guards defending the eastern borders of the Byzantine Empire. The most famous one is that of Digenes Akritas, considered by some to signal the beginnings of modern Greek literature.

Written in Medieval Greek, the Acritic songs deal with the heroic deeds (Greek: ανδραγαθίες) of warriors who lived near the Arab frontiers and fought against the enemy. The poet narrates in recitation, or in a simple, recurring, and easily taught pace, the enslavement, duels, massacres, escapes, release of captives, and often the bonds of affection between kidnappers and women that led to marriage and reconciliation.

Those songs were sung by folk singers, who may have been professionals, or semi-professionals that temporarily abandoned their jobs to sing their songs for pay. They were called ayirte (αγύρται), the Greek counterpart of troubadours. The tradition developed in central Anatolia, which was the cradle of Acritic literature. The preservation of such important oral songs in Asia Minor up to 1922, until the Greek genocide in the area. In the island of Cyprus the tradition is still prevalent in festivals.

Most poems did not survive the Ottoman occupation of Greece, and only a fraction remains of the original number of works, yet the ones we do hold today were famous enough to have existed in enough copies to survive. The most well known oral songs were written down and copied in great numbers, the most exceptional case being the Digenis Acritas.

The most important Acritic romances are:

Digenis Acritas (Διγενής Ακρίτας)

Andronicus' Steed (Ο Ανδρόνικος και ο Μαύρος του)

Son of Andronicus (Ο υιός του Ανδρόνικου)

Song of Armouris (Το άσμα του Αρμούρη)

Digenis Acritas

The epic is the most famous of the Acritic Songs and details the life of the hero, Basil (Βασίλειος), whose epithet Digenes Akritas ("Two Blood Frontiersman" or "Twain-born Borderer") refers to his mixed Byzantine-Cappadocian Greek and Arab blood. The context is the Arab–Byzantine wars that lasted from the 7th century to the early 11th century. You can find the summary of the story here (Link). Greek art depicting his story follows:

This guy was so badass that he even fought Death (Thanatos/Charon) himself! Only Death managed to defeat him in a fierce battle in "the marble threshing floors". In a similar manner, Death had wrestled with Heracles.

Ο Ακρίτας είμαι, Χάροντα, δέν περνώ μέ τά χρόνια, Είμ' εγώ η ακατάλυτη ψυχή τών Σαλαμίνων, στήν Εφτάλοφην έφερα το σπαθί τών Ελλήνων.

It is I, Acritas, O Death; years can't fade me away. I'm the indestructible soul of Salamis, bringing the sword of the Greeks to the Sevenhill.

Images of the battle follow:

Form and Excerpt

The Digenes Akritas is written in Early Demotic Greek and is composed in fifteen syllable blank verse. Rhyming occurs rarely. Each line holds its own and every hemistich is carefully balanced. The poem flows, is cadential, with no cacophonies with very scarce sound repetitions.

Below is an excerpt in Greek with the translation of the Escorial manuscript, lines 32-55, by E. M. Jeffreys (pp. 240–3):

Εὐθὺς ἐκαβαλίκευσαν, 'ς τὸν κάμπον κατεβαίνουν. Ὡς δράκοντες ἐσύριζαν καὶ ὡς λέοντες ἐβρυχοῦντα καὶ ὡς ἀετοὶ ἐπέτουντα, καὶ ἐσμίξασιν οἱ δύο· καὶ τότε νὰ ἰδῆς πόλεμον καλῶν παλληκαρίων. Καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μάχης τῆς πολλῆς κροῦσιν δι|ασυντόμως· καὶ απὸ τὸν κτύπον τὸν πολὺν καὶ ἀπὸ τὸ δὸς καὶ λάβε οἱ κάμποι φόβον εἴχασιν καὶ τὰ βουνιὰ ἀηδονοῦσαν, τὰ δένδρη ἐξεριζώνουντα καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἐσκοτίσθη. Tὸ αἷμαν ἐκατέρεεν εἰς τὰ σκαλόλουρά των καὶ ὁ ἵδρος τους ��ξέβαινεν ἀπάνω ἀπ' τὰ λουρίκια. Ἦτον <καὶ> γὰρ τοῦ Κωνσταντῆ γοργότερος ὁ μαῦρος, καὶ θαυμαστὸς νεώτερος ἦτον ὁ καβελάρης· κατέβηκε εἰς τὸν αμιρὰν καὶ κρούει του ραβδέα καὶ τότε ἐχέρισε ὁ ἀμιρὰς νὰ τρέμη καὶ νὰ φεύγη. Σαρακηνὸς ἐλάλησεν τὸν ἀμιρὰν τῆς γλώσσης: «Πιάσε, μούλε, τὸν ἄγουρον, ταχέως νὰ τὸν νικήσης, μὴ εἰς σύντομόν του γύρισμα πάρη τὴν κεφαλὴν σου· αὑτὸς καλὰ σ' ἐσέβηκεν, τώρα νὰ σὲ γκρεμνίση. Ἐγώ, μούλε, οὐ τὸ ἐγνοιάζομαι νὰ τὸν καταπονέσης, ἀλλὰ μὴ τὸ καυχάσεται ὅτι ἔτρεψεν φουσάτα.» Καὶ ὁ αμιρὰς ὡς τὸ ἤκουσεν, μακρέα τὸν ἀποξέβην, ἔριψεν τὸ κοντάριν του καὶ δάκτυλόν τοῦ δείχνει καὶ μετὰ τοῦ δακτύλου του τοιοῦτον λόγον λέγει: «Ζῆς, νὰ χαίρεσαι, νεώτερε, ἐδικόν σου ἔν' τὸ νίκος.»

They mounted at once and they came to the battlefield. They hissed like dragons, they roared like lions, they soared like eagles, and the two clashed. And then you could see a fight between fine brave youths. In the heat of the battle they struck continuously, and from the great clashing and the cut and thrust the plains grew fearful and the mountains re-echoed, trees were uprooted and the sun was darkened. Blood flowed down over their horse-trappings and their sweat ran out over their breastplates. Constante’s black horse was speedier, and its rider was a marvelous young man. He charged at the emir and struck him a blow with his stick and then the emir began to tremble and flee. A Saracen addressed the emir in his own tongue: "Baseborn, seize the youngster, to beat him speedily, so that he doesn’t take your head off with a sudden turn of his. He has made a fine attack on you, and now he might bring you down. I don’t think, o baseborn, you are going to do him much harm, but don’t let him boast that he routed an army." When the emir heard this, he withdrew some way from the youth, he threw away his spear and pointed his finger at him, and with this gesture he said these words: "May you live and rejoice, young man, victory is yours."

Okay, we NEED to talk about “Gravity Got Low Low Low Low Low.”

As you all know, GGLLLLL was the fourth episode in Total Drama Astronauts, and has by far the MOST blatant Skourt favoritism in the entire series. The last elimination was Skourt’s girlfriend, Gwun (since episode 3 was a reward challenge), and Skourt is PISSED that she couldn’t get back at her team for sending Gwun home. In fact, she thinks she’s so pissed, that she thinks she’s justified in PUTTING A HOLE IN LIL CHEESE’S SPACE SUIT.

Not ONLY would this have KILLED Lil Cheese if Yeoz hadn’t pointed it out before they opened the airlock, Skourt manages to shift the blame onto Cut. Not only does she just get off scott free, but it causes some of the. most. annoying. jokes. in. the. entire. season. I was ready to jump off a bridge every single time they made a pun about Cut’s name. GGLLLLL was the moment that this season turned from potentially enjoyable to absolute garbage that cares more about Skourt winning than anything else.

The Greek Frontiersmen songs - part II

The Acritic songs (Greek: Ακριτικά τραγούδια "frontiersmen songs") are the epic poems that emerged in the Byzantine Empire probably around the ninth century. The songs celebrated the exploits of the Akritai, the frontier guards defending the eastern borders of the Byzantine Empire. The historical background was the almost continuous Arab–Byzantine wars between the seventh and twelfth centuries. For more information see Post Part One on the Akrites (Link)

Medieval plate depicting Acrites as inspired by literature

Legacy

Acritic poetry was greatly influential in modern Greek literature. Besides its prose of popular idiom which went on to influence and shape modern Greek, the poems themselves were nationalistic enough in character that they became a symbol of Greek continuity.

Acritic songs in modern Greece

The songs about the Akrites survive to our days in different parts of Greece (Thrace, the Dodekanese, Pontos, Cyprus etc). The Greek singer Domna Samiou has an album about them called “Epic songs of Warriors and Heroes” (”Των Ακριτών και των Αντρειωμένων”). Listen to some parts of those songs. (Link)

Concluding this post I thought I would share more images of Akrites from the different Greek frontiers of the Byzantine empire, since the world knows close to nothing about our badass warriors!

Kylie Jenner Celebrates Turning 21 At A Wild Party With A Side Of Shade Alongside Her Famous Family! Let Us Explain…

I look younger now than when I was in my early 20s

Kylie Jenner was ringing in 21 with all of her beautiful family!

On Thursday, Stormi Webster's momma stepped out of the house in a fuchsia pink mini dress (before swapping her outfit) for a night out on the town with sisters Kim Kardashian West, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and momager Kris Jenner.

And as you can see in the pic (above) posted to their Instagram accounts, they were all dressed to party! The birthday girl even captioned the snap:

"BIRTHDAY BEHAVIOR! WERE ALL TURNING 21!!"

Of course, some other familiar faces like her baby daddy Travis Scott, Kanye West, Caitlyn Jenner, Scott Disick, Bella Hadid, and Dave Chappelle were in attendance, though Rob Kardashian was nowhere to be seen.

Regardless, it looks like everyone had an amazing time at the bash, as seen on their IG Stories (below):

It even sounded like Kim and Khloé were hoping for Kourt to get back with her ex Lord Disick:

There was even a mural of their loved ones posted up at the party, which seemingly included Kylie's supermodel sister with her new beau Ben Simmons, though it appeared Younes Bendjima, Tristan Thompson, and Blac Chyna didn't make the cut. Yikes!

A post shared by Khloe Kardashian (@khloesnapchats) on Aug 10, 2018 at 12:40am PDT

At least it looks like those invited to Kylizzle's big soirée had a truly LIT time!!

Happy birthday, girl!
