The Librarianโs Intro Post
I will be copying in my notes the descriptions of mythological figures that my copy of Akaki Gelovani's Mythological Lexicon (1983) says about them. It explains the myths of each character from different mythologies.
You can suggest any character you'd like, be it Greek, Roman, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, god, hero, etc.
If they're not there, I will tell you, but it's a rare case.
You can even ask for HISTORICAL stuff, btw, or even concepts and places, since Iโve seen Boeotia (however the FUCK itโs spelled) and Homer being in it as well, as well as the concept of Psyche being included in the description of the word, along with the goddess.
All requests AND questions you might wanna ask me in the ask box.
Now, I'm writing this in English to attract people, but I this will be written in Georgian. Sorry, but... translating is really exhausting to me, and Iโm already putting a lot of effort and time on copying all this. Pls, use Google Translate and if you don't understand something, do tell me, please.
I WILL write the titles in English (the title consiting on โTerm - Originโ, like โAres - Greek Mythologyโ) so that itโs easier for yโall to find.
โAny warnings?โ
Well, first of all, the information might be a bit outdated (remember, itโs from 1983, please), superficial and/or might be too short (depends on the term, some have 8 ass pages, and some just one line).
Might have spelling mistakes I didnโt notice while copying.
โWhy are you doing this?โ
Because I fear my copy will be the last existing one. Itโs an old and very BIG book, it will not be produced again, and, even if it was, it will not be accessible to most of the population. I wanna change that. It has been very useful to me to the point in which Iโm dearly attached to it. It might be one of my dearest possessions, irreplaceable. I wanna share it.
Also, because of the thing going on about AI: a certain company is buying the old and historical type of books, the ones that donโt have any other known copies, feeding them to the AI and then destroying them, making them able to change history. I really donโt wanna think about what will happen if the bubble doesnโt burst soonโฆ
I will even try to make it into a whole ass PDF and upload it on Archive if I have to, once Iโm done with everythingโฆ
These are also posted on Ao3 and on Wattpad, but I donโt think thatโll be enough, thatโs why I make this blog as well.
