finally found the only ancient greek word that matters to me, that being φίλετνος, which means "fond of soup"

Suetonius adds that, according to some reports, he said in Greek: “Kai su, teknon” (which Shakespeare turned into the Latin “Et tu Brute?”). It literally means “You too, child,” but what Caesar may have intended by the words isn’t clear. Tempest cites “an important article” by James Russell (1980) “that has often been overlooked”. Russell points out that the words kai su often appear on curse tablets, and suggests that Caesar’s putative last words were not “the emotional parting declaration of a betrayed man to one he had treated like a son” but more along the lines of “See you in hell, punk.”

there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you

The myth of Achilles, but instead of holding him by the heel, Thetis sumberges him fully so that Achilles is completely invulnerable and Thetis has one invulnerable hand.

She only needs one oven mitt when taking cookies out of the oven.

But there would still be two small parts of him that are vulnerable because they were covered by her fingertips at the time, stopping the water from touching them. Which means those fingertips are also vulnerable on her hand

Achilles *putting those little round band-aids on two parts of his ankle before battle*

Thetis *knitting fingertip oven mitts for her thumb and forefinger*

This is a Greek comedy I could get behind

What if she put him in a sack and dunked him in? The water would saturate the sack and soak him and so long as she pulled him out quick, he wouldn't drown. Then they'd have a sack that's invulnerable too and can be used as the most unexpected shield ever.

Imagine Achilles storming Troy with one (1) invulnerable sack for a shield

thetis just sticks him in one of these bad boys

and swirls him around like a batch of chicken nuggets until he’s invulnerable all over.

Dionysus Holding a Cup of Wine

Roman work after a Greek models of the 4th century BCE.

"The Greeks believed that Dionysus was a god of ambiguity. In Euripides’ phrasing, he was both most terrible and most gentle. He crossed boundaries, blending male with female, Greek with foreign, civic with the natural world. He was a god linked with the dead as well as the living. He also introduced the vine to Greece.

This god of the natural world had the power to produce foods such as milk and honey spontaneously from rocks and plants, as Euripides describes in his Bacchae. He could also cause rivers to flow with wine rather than water."

(State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.)

Through out Loki and sigyn's relationship

Sigyn: I love you!

Loki: You do?

Sigyn: Yes.

Loki: You mean it?

Sigyn, at their wedding: I do.

Loki, holding one of their newborn sons: And you won't change your mind?

Sigyn, holding the other, exhausted: Nah.

Loki, teaching their young sons how to do magic: You don't think I'm the worst?

Sigyn, watching with pride: Nope!

Loki, bound under the snake: And you are absolutely sure that-

Sigyn, holding the bowl over his face: YES!

today i had a man tell me, in all earnest, that i obviously wasn’t very good at my classical studies degree because zeus only had one son, hercules - his source was the disney movie hercules

Thor: Get outta here. This place is too tough for you, little man.

Hermes: Too tough for me? That's downright ridiculous.

Hermes: I'll have you know I stubbed my toe last week while watering my spice garden.

Hermes: And I only cried for twenty minutes.
