Studying Ancient Greek is genuinely so much I kind of understand how one might find oneself running drunk through the woods and tearing a man limb from limb after numbing the mind with all those principal parts

#in all seriousness Ancient Greek is wonderful #but gosh the morphology is really something #like it’s beautiful but it’s so hard to remember everything goodness #richard papen #francis abernathy #henry winter #camilla macaulay #charles macaulay #the secret history #bunny corcoran #tsh donna tartt #classicsblr #ancient greek #classics #Ancient Greece

looking up the etymology of an english word feels like looting an item with the following drop rate:

25% Latin

25% French/Middle French (which is just Latin with extra steps)

20% Middle/Old English

15% Arabic loanword at some point

14% Miscellaneous origin

1% Shakespeare just fuckin made it up out of nowhere but his own sick and twisted mind

NO ANTIPROPAGANDA PLEASE

Iphigenia's gender is not irrelevant to her sacrifice but I think it matters less than one would initially assume. In some ways I think she is adjacent to the "lost youth" archetype that is present in a lot of male characters in these myths. Polyxena's gender, however, feels EXTREMELY relevant to her death myth. and I think that's interesting I could have more to say but I will read euripides hecuba and get back to you
