Torturing myself with different translations of Odyssey, the flora of Ogygia is so different… bro, no, please, do it right😡😭 It’s no wonder people don’t care about those plants, they’re all rubbish, they don’t reflect reality at all.

@ulises-aithon Estoy cansada, jefe, cansada de tanta bazofia.

Wilson, you ought to pay us therapy What do you mean citrus!? It's kedron which may have been juniperus or cedrus, but citrus no! AND BRITTLE PINE IS NOT EVEN EUROPEAN! THAT'S FROM NORTH AMERICA

κέδρου τ᾽ εὐκεάτοιο θύου τ᾽ ἀνὰ νῆσον ὀδώδει δαιομένων· ἡ δ᾽ ἔνδον ἀοιδιάουσ᾽ ὀπὶ καλῇ ἱστὸν ἐποιχομένη χρυσείῃ κερκίδ᾽ ὕφαινεν. ὕλη δὲ σπέος ἀμφὶ πεφύκει τηλεθόωσα, κλήθρη τ᾽ αἴγειρός τε καὶ εὐώδης κυπάρισσος

And the island would smell all over from the cedrus and tetraclinis and she was singing with her sweet voice coming to and fro as she weaved in her loom with a golden shuttle around the cave very rich forest was blooming alder and black populus and sweet-smelling cyparissus

(Translation by me)

And there are people who claim that Wilson is the peak of translations... they just CAN'T admit that it is inaccurate! Liking it or disliking it is up to you but for GOD'S SAKE just admit it is not freaking accurate!

[ulises-aithon]

well my bad because she does put that, i was just to emphasize the citrus shit (sounds like miller btw)

✨My version of the “Abduction of Helen”, which is my contribution to @singomusezine, last volume coming out in July, as you know, full of great fellow artists drawing Greek Mythology awesomeness.

I chose this episode from The Iliad, Book III as the theme of the zine this year is about The Trojan War and all related.

🍏🦢 Paris and Helen of Sparta/Troy.

I was going to write about the meaning of the illustration and what I’ve expressed here, based on that episode, but I prefer to leave it to your understanding and imagination. And I’m sure you can also spot the little symbols I’ve included. I hope you like it ❤️

on king priam with his fifty-something sons and fifty-something daughters.

I do not think I will ever get over how no character in the Iliad, however seemingly insignificant, dies without being named and their lineage made known. Sure, some of it is probably just convention for the time, but there is also the reading that it is a reminder that there is no faceless solider in war. Each man on that battlefield was someone's father, brother, son, husband, friend. And they will be remembered and mourned by those people. They were not un-named cannon fodder. They were people with lives, and each time someone on the battlefield dies - is killed - the poet reminds you, the reader, of that uncomfortable reality. For all the supposed glory that war brings, the price for said glory comes on the backs of loved ones slain.

greek mythology is fun because there's a child soldier who uses the corpse of an infant to beat the king of troy to death in a cold-hearted act of revenge and he's also named after his dad's drag persona
