Diane: Just like have we ever learned anything (okay, okay, aside from his stance on the British theft of Greek artifacts) good about Byron?
Ashley: i mean, he was good to the greeks? tho i think they probably thought he was a dead-ass CLOWN
Diane: This is honestly their fave type of Englishman, I suspect
Like the trolling of Arthur Evans by his workmen
Evidenced by the bs he published
“Oh this spider is so deadly, one bite will kill a man!”
Just the workmen having a laugh about the fucking giant (have seen twice irl) spiders on Crete
One was on our hotel room ceiling when we didn’t know they’d left the balcony door open when they cleaned
Diane: Eventually a Greek man from the bar below came up and got it for us
Picked it up with his hand
A patron, not an employee
It’s a horrific and great story to tell
Ashley: there is a reason why the word "arachnaphobia" has a greek etymology...
Diane: Unsurprisingly they’re “harmless”
I’m guessing a bite would at minimum fucking hurt
And also the trauma of their existence being perceived
Ashley: i'm sorry, but the heart attack i would have would NOT be harmless.
Diane: Neither of us was okay
We briefly lost track of it and the girl in the next room was like, well it’s gone now, so you’re fine, right?
It’s MISSING IN OUR ROOM
Ashley: the shortest horror story in the world is five words: "where did the spider go???"
Diane: And then we found it again and Florence went to get a Greek man while Leanna and I stared at it with all of our being
And then had to like calm the fuck down to sleep once it was gone and the balcony was closed
I have never been more okay with being the entertainment of Greek men at a taverna as that time
