The homeromanteion, or the homeric oracle, is a form of dice divination using fragments of homeric verses to get oracular answers by lot. According to the oxyrhynchus papyrus, it could be also called ‘the scimitar’.

To perform the homeromanteion, first, you need to check that the days and hours (see below) are favourable for divination.

Once the timing is favourable, you then recite a set prayer to Apollo (see below) while thinking of the question you want answered. The prayer is made of five lines from homeric verses. The first three are consecutive lines from the Iliad (Il. XVI 514-516), then two seperate lines from the Odyssey (Od. I 147; Od. XVIII 173).

Then, a dice has to be rolled thrice (or three die once); the three digit number obtained will correspond to a homeric verse, which will be the oracular answer. Below is a list of the possible results and their corresponding fragment. (Excuse the text size, for a list the clearer, see: this pdf – you have to scroll a lot though soz.)

For an online homeromanteion, see: here.

Something about Ribbit taking her bowtie, their sign of genderqueerness, and flipping its gender association for Jax in the form of turning it into a hair bow. On Ribbit it was an expression of masculinity, her looser ties to gender. On Jax it was a revealing of her femininity, of the part of her she's trying so hard to repress. On both of them it's trans, because both of them are trans. Chat I'm crying in the club

"اغْمُريني/اغْمُرني"

Literal meaning: "immerse/flood me"

Figurative meaning: "hug me"

It's not just wrap your arms around me. It's immerse me with your being; I want to forget me and feel you only.

It's in Lebanese dialect.
