Another scene from "La Odisea de los Lunnis" here Penelope shouts yeyeyey
I love this scene because it’s in a very funny way inaccurate af, but it also reflects the suitors’ persistence in a way that’s crystal clear to every kind of public. Also Penelope telling them to get lost. And what’s more, this show is full of references to Spanish culture, and this scene is a clear example of bar culture.
That’s why I’m going to mention the tapas listed by Telemachus (a very typical way of listing the dishes in a bar, where the offerings are always the same), this are just some examples tapas offer endless possibilities, and whilst many are typical of a particular region, they may be completely unknown elsewhere. If anyone would like to contribute, please do so.
Tortilla, chipirones, oreja, mejillones, sardinas, molleja, zarajos, aceitunas, calamares y panceta, muy buena...
Tortilla: Here in Spain refers to "tortilla de patata", although there's no potato in this context lol
Chipirones: as said, baby squids, the most common ones are fried, but they can also be served in a sauce
Oreja: Pig's ear in this case most commons are grilled or stewed
Mejillones: When I ask for mussels, I mean steamed mussels ("al vapor"), but then again, I don’t think there’s a consensus, or maybe I’m just stupid myself. There are steamed mussels, mussels in a salad, "tigres" , pickled mussels… my favs are "al vapor"
I don't add lemon or parsley, everyone has their own preference.
Sardinas: Whenever someone mentions sardines, this is what I picture, but I’ve also seen them smoked or tinned.
Mollejas: Is one of the most generic terms I've ever heard in my life. I've translated it here as “sweetbreads”, but to me, “mollejas” usually refers to poultry stomachs, and I think it can mean other things depending on the region you're in, you always have to ask what the “mollejas” actually are ajjajk
Zarajos: I’ve never tried them in my life, but they’re marinated and rolled-up lamb intestines that are then fried or baked, I have to say, they look really tasty.
The wonderful world of olives, I can’t possibly write about everything, but I love the ones that are marinated in rosemary, vinegar, with pickles…
Calamares: usually battered and fried, known by many names depending on the method, I like it "a la romana":
Panceta: For myself usually eaten on its own or in a bocadillo
My mouth is watering from all these tapas y raciones. ¡QUÉ HAMBRE!
But most importantly: ¡GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS!
El peak más epiquísimo que hay, la odisea de los lunnis. Me encanta y potr favor sigue dandonos estas joyitas.

Starting to reread Euripides’ Helen has been a good idea, I’d forgotten it was like that, and to be honest, it’s made me question all the Greek literature I’ve read so far. It’s true that for a while now I’ve read nothing but The Iliad, The Odyssey and, to a lesser extent, Apollonius’ Argonautica, so I’ll have to reread a whole lot of stuff lol
To be honest, I don’t really like the premise, I don’t like the idea that Hera created a spirit in the form of Helen and took it to Egypt, and that the real Helen was never actually in Troy, but I do like the plot: Egypt, Helen, Menelaus, Theonoe and the final deus ex machina with the Dioscuri… kakajaja, the Dioscuri can’t be left out!

Okay, so, in response to some messages I've been getting, I know it's unfair of me to expect 12-year-olds to have an especially good grasp of hermeneutics, but some of you have been through college and should know better.
Had you ever taken one of my Introduction to Archaeological Theory classes, you'd already know that the assumption of universal meaning across cultures - in time or in space - is not a neutral act. It always requires the establishment of a norm from which everything else deviates. That norm (it almost goes without saying) is - 9 times out of 10 - whatever you are familiar with in your culture (or, sometimes, it's binary opposite). Do I need to explain how this is racist, intellectually colonialist, and bigoted?
I'm going to spell it out: if you believe that big boys don't cry, that homosexuality was prevalent and normalised in the ancient world, that people always behave in ways that obtain them the most benefit, that we can clearly and unambiguously understand the nuance of ancient languages, or that we know where Homeric Aethiopia was, then yes, I'm talking to you.
just scrolled through an argument that kicked ass. OP made and posted an AI image, then defended themselves saying they’re disabled and can’t draw so AI is all they can do. someone chimes in “i understand that feeling, but Beethoven made music despite being deaf, i believe in your abilities!” to which OP replied that being deaf isn’t a real disability unlike their CPTSD that prevents them from drawing. Beethoven had it easy tbh. and that’s why i have to use AI to make Helluva Boss fan characters

'Nay, go to thy chamber, and busy thyself with thine own tasks, the loom and the distaff, and bid thy handmaids ply their tasks; but speech shall be for men, for all, but most of all for me; since mine is the authority in the house.”
She then, seized with wonder, went back to her chamber, for she laid to heart the wise saying of her son. Up to her upper chamber she went with her handmaids, and then bewailed Odysseus, her dear husband until flashing-eyed Athena cast sweet sleep upon her eyelids.'
'"But go to the the house and attend to your works, the loom and the distaff, and order the house-servants to do their work: war will be of concern to all men of Troy, most of all to me."
[...] So she came to the well founded hall of Hector, the man-slaying, and within found many house-servants, and she stirred up within them a wailing. So in his own house while he was still alive they mourned Hector, for they no longer believed he would return from war, having escaped the wrath and hands of the Acheans.'
Translation by me
Noticed this while rereading the Odyssey, although I would've missed it if I hadn't studied that bit of Iliad in depth- it's always fun to spot fragments of the oral tradition, poets just saying the same shit to make it easier for themselves!
