Please help me ,,I'm Lana, a university student from Gaza. 🍉I live a very difficult life. I was studying engineering and had a home, safety, and comfort. The occupation destroyed my home, and now I am left without a house, university, or education. I can only light a fire to cook food, sitting in a tent with rain falling on us through the holes. I have no mattress and sleep on the ground, scared and waiting for the rockets to hit. There’s no money, no food, no shampoo—nothing at all. I want my old life back before the war. Please donate, even a little, so I can regain some of my former life.🙂‍↕️

Pls pls help Lana regain her normal life again !!!

Tumblr is it possible to study at the same time in two different faculties? (University) my delusional ass wants to study history (specialised in the classics, or anything that’s from the ancient era ? ) and pharmacology 💀💀

Heheh just got the odyssey in book format (I have it at least 2 times in e-Book format) I also have like 3-4 iliads 😭😭

[moony085]

What if I said I made the telegony work (delusional)

Ok work is the wrong term but basically I think of certain events happening and almost have my own ideas? But Ngl I need to get a grip of Telemachus characterisation in the odyssey aka read it aka it finish the Iliad. But I have an idea of how to make similar events take place WITHOUT having an ooc Odysseus and perhaps not contradict the Homeric lore (I need to read the odyssey first to be completely sure)

Do I take some lore of the theogony yes a bit

How do u feel about shipping in Greek mythology or how can one do it right or without disregarding the original sources ?

That is a very good question and thanks for stating it. I am a bit divided on that part. The second part of the question you make is the easiest to answer; if you do not wish to disregard the original sources the safest way is just to adress the couples that appear in the original sources and leave the rest for the realm of imagination hahaha

I mean logically speaking if we look only for source material then we just do source material and we do not "ship" others from other parts that are not mentioned in the sources (and ironically the sources are already wild enough with a variety). So if the objective is "not to derrange from the source" then the short answer is; just follow the source or interpret the source.

Now for the first part of your question (sorry if it is long!);

Like I said I am a bit divided. On one hand it is a great way to express creativity to imagine the protagonists of greek mythos in situations not mentioned in their myths and create scenarios in one's head. On one hand one uses the excuse of "the ancients did it too" kind of thing and up to one point it is a right hypothesis given how many ancient writers, each for their own reasons, created stories that do not necessarily correspond to mythical counterparts (and if they do, we have lost them so we cannot confirm) but on the other hand one must be very much aware that in antiquity they meant something different than what it means today.

Ancient writers created stories based on their personal beliefs and religion or tradition (kinda similar to how many christian traditions have been created by christians or dunno shinto traditions by shinto believers etc.) so to equate someone's pleasure with antiquity and its meaning seems too outstretched. Also it seems like treating the ancient religion like a "fandom" and that is an interestingly complicated matter. On one hand it is a creative way for people to come in contact with the past. On the other hand though it would be equivalent let's say in a post-christian era, people start...shipping biblical people or people mentioned in muslim tradition etc. that do not have fully documented historical credibility and claim it is "shipping". For the ancient greeks their mythical characters were their religion, their ancestry and their legendary past. It was their reasoning of moving around the Mediterannean and their expansion of culture; it was their own reasoning for their very existence up to one point.

Therefore although I do like to see people explore the possibilities (sometimes their ideas are very well based or well-supported with arguments as well almost entering the sphere of interpretation rather than just "fan shipping") but I cannot say I am being ecstatic with this obsession over them. Especially nowadays that for some reason we started shipping literally every character that happens to be in the same frame and narrative as someone else (let's say people involved in the Trojan War or the Odyssey). It is as if two characters are not allowed to exist in the same frame anymore for people unless they are somehow romantically involved

It is as if two characters no longer can have chemistry without someone casually thinking they must be making out in a dark corner. True some scholiasts of ancient times (particularly late roman and early medieval times ones) kinda opened the path for this by speaking on some "pairings" that do not always correspond to ancient sources to our knowledge but I thnk nowadays is being blasted out of proportion and again it feels as if just because these stories are now to the sphere of "fairy tale" for nowadays people with different set of beliefs, that means it is automatically free game to do whatever with them, ignoring or reducing the importance they had to the people in the past

So as far as I am concerned I am happy to explore the pairs of greek mythology (or any mythology in general) even through the lenses of "modern dialog" or funny situations or stuff like that but I usually stick to the pairs of the actual ancient sources or things that scholiasts mention that have some sort of correspondance to ancient sources. Which is why you will see me writing my own fanfictions and retellings even adding random dialogs or stuff like that but by n large I will not "ship" characters that do not exist one way or another in the ancient sources as a couple together.

Sorry for my endless blabbering! I hope this answers your question.

WIP

The God Games form the wisdom saga inspired me to draw Hera but I also remember that one plate in the museum in Munich where Hera had ginger hair and now it’s not leaving my mind. Also maybe you can’t see it well but I made Hera a bit chunky cause yea 😔😔😔 in my interpretation both her and Aphrodite are chunky but Aphrodite is small and chunky while Hera is much taller than her

i dont think thats the case Athena

Athena gets biology class after that incident/j

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤
