Well folks, here’s me, in mask, discussing the finer points of incest. You know how it goes. The mask is to replicate the style of Greek tragedy, concealing one’s face to show that one is acting. Ten points if somebody recognizes the (no)face. Also keep in mind my phone is super broken, hence the purple streaks all over the place.
Have a great day!
Isn’t that No Face from Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away?
Wonderful painting of The Fall Of Rome by Thomas Cole. And just like Rome, our class has to come to an end (in a little less of a chaotic way...or maybe not). Yet I leave behind this Tumblr account as ruins.
Night Before Exam
Dad: You'll do fine, just remember I before C except after P.
Me: I C P?
Dad: Well clean it up then.
Literally stuck in my head as I took the exam. I don’t think it messed me up at all...but still annoying.Â
A brief look at all the achievements of the ancient Roman Empire. They initiated and set into motion so many systems and styles that are still important to this day. I will always hold a great respect for the things these people were able to do so long ago.
I had no idea as to the amount of judicial ideas and procedures we got from Rome! After reading Cicero I guess they’re just as corrupt too!
Nothing like some Oedipus at Colonus to close out the last Special Post. We tried to have some fun with this one.Â
Who could’ve thought the Belmont Mansion would have so many similarities with a Roman Temple (besides Zach)? Some obvious features include the Corinthian columns on the very front of the mansion, one of the three popular ancient orders, above which is a sort of entablature. Also, on top of the corners of the building some small statues stand similar to those on the corners of Roman temples.Â
Some other features include the fact the mansion is raised above the ground and has a clear front entrance like Roman temples. In front of the mansion is a fountain, just like how a fountain sits in front of the Pantheon in Rome. While Adelicia Franklin was not a Roman God, both the mansion and Roman temples act as their homes. Similarly, both the Belmont Mansion and Roman temples like the Pantheon stand as symbols of wealth and power. The Belmont mansion sits at the head of the lawn, turning it and the surrounding buildings into a sort of forum similar to the Forum of Julius Caesar.Â
Doric columns outside the Beaman Center characterized by the square “pillow” capital.
Ionic columns on the Inman Center South entrance featuring the “seascrolls” or volutes.
Corinthian columns can be found in the lobby of the WAC with ornate leaf designs on the capital.
A good old timeline on the Peloponnesian Wars made by your’s truly.
Man... incest gets confusing.Â
"Apotheon is a heroic action game set within the vibrant world of Ancient Greek Mythology. Ascend Mount Olympus, wrestle the divine powers from the Pantheon of Gods, and save mankind."
Hey I found a video game that’s probably 100% historically accurate and educational and fun! And it’s on sale!
But in all seriousness, this is a pretty cool use of Greek art. Check out some of the videos.
I wonder if in the settings you can change it from “black figure painting” to “red figure painting” now that would be cool. It would also be great if after the player beats the game, the Romans show up and destroy them (kind of like class today).Â
Bruiser... the Bear
Ovid, inspire me as I recall the tale of a young man name Bruiser. Be sure I honor the Gods and stay course in my telling.
Bruiser, a young freshman at Belmont University, among many things was a procrastinator. Despite all the upperclassmen, all the teachers, and both his parents telling him to stay up on the work, he couldn’t help but fall behind. It wasn’t his fault he couldn’t keep up- he was just sleeping all the time. He’d just love to nap. Bruiser would wake up at 8AM and already by noon be ready to curl up in a ball, close his eyes, and fall asleep. Of course he had to go to lunch.
Bruiser arrived in the cafeteria with an idea in his head... “I know! If I eat as much as physically possible I won’t be hungry for dinner later. That means I can take a nap and still have enough time to get my work done!”
Before his friends could stop him, Bruiser load his plate with two thick patties draped in cheese between half inch buns, three pieces of pumpkin pie with three large globs of whip cream, twelve strips of flank steak, two hundred and sixteen fries, fifty seven leafs of salad, three hundred and two kernels of corn, thirty three green beans, seventeen scoops of three different ice-creams, and a thirty two ounce soft drink.
What Bruiser failed to realize was how so much food would make him extra tired, and when he took his 1PM time nap (as he does every day) he awoke to find he had slept through dinner...and the evening...and the night...and breakfast...and was already seventeen minutes late for his 8AM class.Â
Bursting into the room he quickly found his seat without a word of his tardiness from anyone.Â
“...I hope everyone had fun with the tumblr assignment...”
Now awakening from a food coma, Bruiser suddenly realized he failed to put up a single post the entire semester. After class he went to his teacher and explained his situation. Zach- I mean, his teacher- was not as forgiving as he hoped.
“You wait all year, eat like a gluten, and pass out in hopes of sleeping your way out of any work!?”
Next thing he knew, Zach- I mean, his teacher- had turned Bruiser into exactly what he was a bear.
“Now, get out of my sight. You can go sleep your way through the winter break too.”
Bruiser tried to speak, but could not utter a word of defense. The poor bear found his way out of the classroom and now wanders the campus as a reminder to students... don’t procrastinate.Â
Review games... classic civ style
Oh, Julius.
Julius: What's the weather like outside?
Centurion: Hail, Caesar!
Julius: It's been nothing but hail for two weeks now! Man, this March weather kills me.
Is it too much to ask to just have a nice night where we all sit around a fire and play some music? A break from all this Emperor business would be nice. Alright? Now fetch me my fiddle.

NEW YORK—Standing mystified in a crowded intersection, Verus Attius Glabrio, a Roman centurion who emerged from a manhole in the middle of New York’s Time Square, is in for a wacky adventure, sources confirmed Wednesday. Reports stated that Gl...
Fair warning, The Onion sometimes features colorful language or lewd material. I didn’t see any in this article but I apologize if I missed something.Â
Just a great article relating back to an earlier post in which I ponder how Romans would perceive our society. Of course, The Onion makes light of the idea. This is just something to enjoy...or analyze if you’re really dedicated, it made a couple of allusions.
