typical latin textbook exercises:
i confess that i’m about to enjoy unmixed wine at home
from the beginning, you didn’t grasp how big an army was following us, and how many elephants those soldiers were leading with them
at first he answered that he didn’t want to follow a commander of mediocre valor or discernment, when the state was standing on the threshold of war
odysseus: gee i would like to get home to my wife in a timely fashion
poseidon:
How many puns can this site create about Julius Caesar’s death?
eh, tu..?
Hic Monicae Monitoria Docilis Sententia Scriptoria Diei est!
Here’s Monika’s Writing Tip of the Day!
(Fons Imaginis.)
Writing your own world’s mythology sounds hard until you realize most mythologies are created on the “oh, haven’t you heard?” principle
Some ancient Greek dude: hey why are you pregnant? You aren’t married
The lady about to come up with zeus: oh haven’t you heard?
winter is tough, but this is the price we pay for persephone being able to peg her husband in peace, so just accept it
when u get a bunch of 1st conjugation verbs in your vocab list
me: time to write a latin sentence with this nice 3rd declension noun!
i-stem noun: :) :) :)
there are a lot of things in this world that are cursed but the fact that the tvtropes page for tsundere quotes an ancient latin poem by catullus may be one of the most cursed things i’ve seen
OMG but not WTF!
plato: (throws the Iliad onto your face) Achilles bottomed, u dumb bitch
I LEARNED RECENTLY THAT PLATO WON THE GOLD MEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS FOR WRESTLING THREE TIMES. THIS PUTS A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS. I ALWAYS IMAGINED PLATO TO BE FRAIL AND MISSHAPEN BUT HE MUST HAVE BEEN FRICKEN RIPPED. I WONDER IF ARISTOTLE EVER FELT ANXIETY ABOUT GETTING PHYSICALLY (I.E. NOT JUST METAPHYSICALLY) DISMANTLED BY PLATO. PLATO WAS PROBABLY PISSED OFF BY AT LEAST A HANDFUL OF QUESTIONS ARISTOTLE ASKED HIM. ARISTOTLE WAS A LITERAL GENIUS TOO. IMAGINE PLATO LECTURING AND WRITING ON A BLACKBOARD AND ARISTOTLE THROWING A COMMENT OUT THERE ABOUT SOME COMPLEX MISSTEP IN PLATO’S LOGIC AND PLATO’S CHALK JUST SNAPS AND ARISTOTLE’S TESTICLES SUCK WAY BACK UP TO WHERE THEY DROPPED FROM, THEN PLATO IN A BLUR APPEARS BESIDE ARISTOTLE SITTING AT HIS DESK AND HE PICKS HIM UP AND SUPLEXES HIS MACEDONIAN ASS.
given the content of a lot of Plato’s conclusions I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Plato responded to a lot of reasonable criticisms with “Fight me” and that was the end of it.
We’re not actually sure whether Plato is his real name! Some people speculate that, because Platon means “broad” in Greek, this was actually his wrestling nick name. Basically, it’s like Dwayne Johnson became a famous philosopher and everyone still called him “The Rock”.
More and more I wish we kind of had time traveling capabilities.
Now I can’t stop thinking about Plato looking like The Rock
Now I can’t stop thinking about a film where The Rock plays Plato.
“Do you swim?”
“nō.”

Me: Turns on computer
Me: I am going to work on my thesis tonight!
Me: -five hours later- These dank Latin memes are great hahahahaha
Thesis: Unwritten
Quid si est Catalogus Navium quia Homerus meminisse quomodo fabula narranda esset non potuit et cunctari debuit?
What if the Catalogue of Ships exists because Homer couldn’t remember how the story went and had to stall for time?
(Inspiratio.)
