My favourite line in all of drama is "for after the storm, I see once more a weasel!" And it is so close to my heart im probably gonna get it tattooed. Pure poetry.

Shout out to Hegelochus the first to make a typo in a group chat and get his ass grilled to this day

Psychic: *reads my mind*

My mind: there was an actor named Hegelochus in four-oh- eight B.C who messed up one of his lines oh so famously...

Cassandra is tired. She's trying to find her way to a home that doesn't exist anymore, and she's being asked to fight every step of the way. She doesn't want to fight the funny bad diction actor, because she knows how it ends. She knows which one of them wins, and she knows enough that skipping to the end won't do a damn thing.

Hegelochus is simply very lost. He got thrown out of the Dionysia for his mistake and he would like some work, please be very nice to him. Where is he.

2 sentence horror story

“Yes,” the oracle said, “you will be remembered for generations, and the tales of your performance will be spoken of by poets for centuries.”

“That is a greater honor than I could have dreamed,” replied Hegelochus.

Hegelochus vs. The Vultures That Eat Prometheus's Liver

The Vultures

Hegelochus: A wonderful actor whose career was cut tragically short by a mispronounciation during a performance during the City Dionysia. He never worked again, and everyone made fun of him for centuries to come. Including me, but hey. This one's for Hegelochus.

Vultures: The vultures that were sent as eternal torment to pick at Prometheus's liver. What's their deal though.
