I used to really like the ✨ emoji but now she's best friends with AI and I feel like I can't trust her anymore

i find it so odd whenever people think aeneas is just pious and nothing else besides that. like many people think he is a boring character. aeneas? that guy is so not boring to me. yes hes pious but he also has wants and needs of his own. only he can't have those because above all he is pious, as much as he doesn't want to be sometimes. he is a character with immense trauma from the trojan war, who has lost his home and loses almost all of the most important people in his life. he is forced to leave the woman he loves and only finds out she's dead when he sees her again in the underworld, where he tells her he didn't have a choice. and when he gets to italy he is thrown into another war, that he didn't want but still has to fight. he loses more people and is then overcome by a rage and kills an enemy he could have spared. how is he boring?

#the aeneid #tagamemnon #aeneas #aeneas being only boring is a common criticism which i struggle to understand

aeneas and creusa can also allude to orpheus and eurydice in the sense that aeneas tried to lead creusa out of a place full of dead people that she was doomed to stay in

#except aeneas didn't look back and that's why he lost her #ughfd #creusa i miss u

Olga Karlatos as Dido in "Aeneid" (1971)

the romans were obsessed with incest and they kept trying to legally recreate it in ways such as 1. adopting your friend and marrying him to your biological daughter 2. being co-emperors 3. fratricide 4. moms always think their gay emperor son is the messiah 5. civil war

mmm i'm loving fagles' translator's notes

when he says he went for a "more domestic, more intimate" tone and language in the odyssey than in the iliad except for a few key moments of great heroic action that harkened back to the iliad, i'm like yesss i felt that! the moment odysseus notched that arrow and killed the first suitor i was instantly transported back to the war of troy, and that made me think how odysseus probably felt that way too as he did it (how could he not! unlike nestor and menelaus he hasn't had ten years of peace and domesticity to process the war)

and what also strikes me about that moment is that up until then the violence in the odyssey has been so... clean and indirect. the actual deaths have been mostly stuff like... men swallowed by monsters in one big gulp or "and then they drowned" (or the one dolt who got drunk and fell of a roof). but when odysseus' anger and humiliation finally comes to a head, i mean -- christ:

[...] Odysseus aimed and shot Antinous square in the throat and the point went stabbing clean through the soft neck and out [...] The shaft sank home, and the man's life-blood came spurting from his nostrils -- thick red jets -- a sudden thrust of his foot --

that's some iliad violence! that's odysseus carrying the war inside him for ten years after it ended and now right here in his own home he'll have his big aristeia, his moment of heroic and terrifying glory. it's so exciting and satisfying and horrific all at once

nausicaa is such an underrated character. procrastinates doing her laundry. the goddess athena appears to her to tell her to do her laundry. she plays sports. she is the only one to not be afraid of a terrifying desperate naked man approaching her and her friends. tells her friends off for being scared of him. gives him her home address and invites him to her house. thinks he’s hot. has no idea who he is. watches him destroy everyone at discus. finds out he’s a celebrity that people sing about in her court. finds out also that he’s married with a wife and son and is like ohhhh okay let’s do everything possible to help you get home! doesn’t think twice. moves on instantly. unbothered. loving life. she’s everything 2 me

rewatched into the spiderverse and wow that movie is just absolute perfection

#the animation is amazing #it's funny #it's heartfelt #it hits all the emotional beats #too good
