My child and I will never forgive anyone who ignores this. ✋😥

I am a pregnant mother, and I am going through very difficult days.... 💔

For several days now, I have not received any donations, and I am struggling to provide even the most basic necessities for myself and my child. Every day, I worry about how I will find food, water, and the things we need to survive...💔💔💔😭

My heart is full of fear—not only for myself, but for my child. I dream of giving my baby a safe and dignified life, but right now I feel helpless and overwhelmed💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭

If you are able to help, no matter how small the donation may seem, it would mean the world to us. And if you cannot donate, please consider sharing my story with others.......🍉

Please do not leave a pregnant mother and her child to face this hardship alone. Thank you for your kindness and support..✨ 🤍

Firstly, they're not a standalone pair. Both are traditionally attributed to Homer, but they were originally part of a larger set of epic epics known as the Trojan Cycle.

The Iliad takes place during the final year of the war, focusing on heavy themes like death, war, and glory.

And the Odyssey is about Odysseus journey back home, filled with gods, monsters, and strange lands—the return just as important or more than the journey itself.

The order you read them in really depends on what kind of story you're drawn to, as each create a different experience to follow.

If you read the Iliad first like I did, you see characters in the midst of war, their lows and triumphs So in the Odyssey, when their fates are recounted by Nestor and Menelaus, it hits harder with an established emotional connection. Many didn't make it back or they died shortly after, which makes Odysseus's return and bringing order to his household so important.

But that doesn't make reading the Odyssey first any less. You become attached to Ody as a survivor defined by his suffering and longing for his family. The Iliad shows him as a soldier among many who suffer from the tragically weight of the war, showing why he wanted home so much. Iliad as a prequel can work really well. Like you first read Odysseus spending ten years in a war and another returning home, and then you read of that very war that made made him want home even more.

As an Epic the Musical fan, the same can be said about Ilium. It starts with the fall of Troy and the journey showing how much he wants to return home. Astyanax was just the last of many scars the war gave him, and Ilium can present previous ones for him and the other fighters on both Greek and Trojan sides.

I am Jaafar from Gaza. I am currently in northern Gaza, and we have not yet been displaced to the south. Things are very difficult here — the cost of moving to the south is $1,000, and a single tent also costs $1,000, if we can even find a place in southern Gaza. The south is overcrowded, and renting a plot of land costs $1,000 per month, or even more depending on the area. 🙂😢

I started a donation campaign in the middle of the war and received good support, but due to personal circumstances, I recently created a new link, and unfortunately, I have only received a small amount of donations so far. 😓💔 I appeal to you to help me with my new campaign and donate whatever you can 🥺😭. Every amount you give will save the lives of my family and me and may help us cover the cost of moving to southern Gaza! 😓 Thank you, and I pray that God blesses you and provides for you 🧡🫂
