The ancient greeks really had graves for dogs. And they carved stuff on the stone like âcarrying you here, I now feel as much grief as I felt joy when I carried you homeâ and âyou never barked without reason, but now you are silentâ. The human urge to tell a story spans centuries and millennia, and the loss of a really good dog makes you want to tell people - even people centuries in the future, who will never know your name - that there once was a dog who was a very good girl, but now she no longer is and you arenât sure what to do with all this sorrow.
This is my very favourite thing.
Last year, I found this one tucked away in a corner of the archaeological museum in Istanbul:
The inscription reads:
âHis owner buried the dog Parthenope, that he played with, in gratitude for this happiness. [Mutual] love is rewarding, like the one for this dog. Having been a friend to my owner, I deserve this grave. Looking at this, find yourself a worthy friend who is both ready to love you while you are still alive and will care for your body [after your death].â
On so many of the other funerary carvings, the text was often more about the person who commissioned the carving than the person the carving was commissioned for. This one, which is for a dog, doesnât even identify his ownerâitâs entirely about a very, very good boy named Parthenope, who was loved so much that he will be remembered forever.
god this is so affecting
just one thing- Parthenope is a feminine name, so this dog was in fact a very, very good girl!
Maiden-face. A very good and very pretty girl.

âi want to worship a/pep because some destruction and chaos is necessary for life and can be helpful, it should be considered sacred not evilâ
âi think it could be cool to honor ap/ep because death and decay is natural and should be honored, not shunnedâ
âitâs a shame that kemetics are so afraid of nonbeing, the main thing holding the kemetic community back is their unwillingness to worship entropy itself~â
Why the fuck would anyone worship a shitty little worm that gets its punk ass handed to it each and every night and twice on eclipses?
little no-limbs-no-voice having ass
It doesnât even have sex appeal

â¨These are going to make some Hellenics mad but the visuals are stunningđ¤Š
4, 9, and 15 for the hellenic polytheism prompts :)
Which theoi are you closest to? I work with a lot of gods, but the ones Iâm closest with in a way that feels personal are Hera, Boreas, and Phthisis.
Do you celebrate any festivals? Yes! I donât have a strict set I manage to do every year, but in the past my partner and I have hosted celebrations for Anthesteria, Thesmophoria, Saturnalia, and others, and itâs always a great time! Our most recent one (before we had to stop gathering) was Anthesteria this year.
When did you find your way to Hellenic polytheism? I grew up on the mythology, but started practicing when I was about 17. It was actually because I met someone who talked about being a Norse pagan and I was like... oh shit you can be pagan? I knew the Greek gods would be my crowd, so I just sort of jumped right in. :)
Fun conversation prompts for Hellenic polytheists
Fun new ask box meme: ask me fun questions about my religion.
Whole pantheon or select few?
Which theoi hold domain over areas of influence in your life?
Which theos do you think has the coolest/most interesting story? Why?
Which theoi are you closest to?
How often do you make offerings?
How do you, personally, make offerings?
Which pillars (if any) influence your practice the most, and how/why?
Do you follow the delphic maxims? Which ones are most relevant/important to you?
Do you celebrate any festivals? Which ones?
Whatâs your favorite myth? And which version?
How do you feel about new myths and re-writes/adaptations of old myths?
Do you keep a prayer book?
Do you dress up for ritual?
Do you wear/use devotional jewelry, outfits, make up, perfume/cologne/body spray, or anything of the like?
When did you find your way to Hellenic polytheism?
Do you worship any deities outside of Hellenic polytheism?
Share a current picture of your shrine or altar if you have one!
Share a story about a time you felt the theoi were involved actively in your life!
Write something nice for one of the theoi!
Tell us something about your practice!
You know what? Letâs bring this back.

Also, does anyone have any book or article recommendations on traditional Hellenic death rites? Ideally for the average person, rather than heroes. Your average farmerâs funeral sure didnât look like Patroclusâ, Iâm certain.

I want a home mostly just to welcome people into it. There will be bowls of candy for guests, and the cookie jar is full. Iâll always say âI was just about to make a coffee/tea/cocoa, would you like one?â when somebody walks in. Thereâs lemonade and iced tea made fresh on hot days. Once it hits That Hour and they start saying they really should be going, Iâll remind them that the futon is always open, and Iâm making cinnamon rolls tomorrow. Thereâs champagne and sparkling juice hidden on a high shelf just in case somebody announces their engagement or their pregnancy or their new job while theyâre here. There is an extra chair in the living room, at the table, and on the deck, and itâs for you. I want to be able to say âif youâre ever in trouble, come to me.â
it's my quiz and i get to choose my very own specific and subjective hyperfixations!!
pentheus
you are pentheus from the bacchae by euripides, and you hold yourself so tightly wound together and so perfectly in place that even the slightest push will make you shatter. you are determined, you are headstrong, and you are addicted to pushing yourself to your farthest limits just to see when you'll snap. you find comfort in tradition, order, and authority, because that's where you are allowed to be blind to the darkness inside you. once in a while, give into the temptation and the chaos you keep denying yourself. it's the only way to not be afraid anymore.
Yes you are Pentheus. Youâre a little bit of Pentheus over here, a little over there. OH and a leetle bit of Pentheus waaay over there...
Hahaha I got Antigone I love it
