Hymn 8 to Ares - A Phonic Translation ♂

i have been wanting to resurrect hymns to Ares for my morning prayers for some time, as i am in my 5th year of devotion. and so i constructed a phonic translation of Homer's Hymn 8 to Ares to make things easier for me. the intention of the translation is that it helps You edge close to Greek without necessarily needing to know Greek to read it and speak it in mother tongue. so it is a direct translation with edits to make pronunciation easier.. hail!

Hymn 8 to Ares: 1 Ἆρες ὑπερμενέτα, βρισάρματε, χρυσεοπήληξ, 2 ὀβριμόθυμε, φέρασπι, πολισσόε, χαλκοκορυστά, 3 καρτερόχειρ, ἀμόγητε, δορισθενές, ἕρκος Ὀλύμπου, 4 Νίκης εὐπολέμοιο πάτερ, συναρωγὲ Θέμιστος, 5 ἀντιβίοισι τύραννε, δικαιοτάτων ἀγὲ φωτῶν, 6 ἠνορέης σκηπτοῦχε, πυραυγέα κύκλον ἑλίσσων 7 αἰθέρος ἑπταπόροις ἐνὶ τείρεσιν, ἔνθα σε πῶλοι 8 ζαφλεγέες τριτάτης ὑπὲρ ἄντυγος αἰὲν ἔχουσι: 9 κλῦθι, βροτῶν ἐπίκουρε, δοτὴρ εὐθαρσέος ἥβης, 10 πρηὺ καταστίλβων σέλας ὑψόθεν ἐς βιότητα 11 ἡμετέρην καὶ κάρτος ἀρήιον, ὥς κε δυναίμην 12 σεύασθαι κακότητα πικρὴν ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῖο καρήνου, 13 καὶ ψυχῆς ἀπατηλὸν ὑπογνάμψαι φρεσὶν ὁρμήν, 14 θυμοῦ αὖ μένος ὀξὺ κατισχέμεν, ὅς μ᾽ ἐρέθῃσι 15 φυλόπιδος κρυερῆς ἐπιβαινέμεν: ἀλλὰ σὺ θάρσος 16 δός, μάκαρ, εἰρήνης τε μένειν ἐν ἀπήμοσι θεσμοῖς 17 δυσμενέων προφυγόντα μόθον Κῆράς τε βιαίους.

Hymn 8 to Ares Phonic Translation:

1 Aris, ypermeneta, vrisarmate, hryseopílix 2 ovrimothime, feraspi, polissoeh, halkokorysta 3 karteroheeir, amoyite, doristhenehs, erkos Olympos 4 Nikis efpolehmoio pater, synaroyeh Themistos, 5 ativisi tyranneh, dikaiotaton ayeh foton, 6 inorayis skiptoohyeh, piravyea kyklon elisson 7 atheros eptaporis eni tieresin, entha se poli 8 zafleyehs tritahtis yper antygos aien ehoosi: 9 klithi, vroton epikore, dotir eytharseos ivis, 10 priy katastilvon selas ypsothen es viotita 11 imeterin kyeh kartos ariion, os ke dynehmin 12 sevasthai kakotita pikrin ap emio karinou, 13 kyeh Seehhis apatilon ypognampseh fresin ormeen, 14 thimou af menos oxy katishemen, os mi erehthisi 15 fylopidos kryeris epivanemen: alla sEE tharsos 16 dos, makar, eirEEnis te menein en apEEmosi thesmees 17 dysmenehon profygota mothon Kiras te viaious

NOTE: "y" tends to come on as an "ee" sound like in "bee". example being the word "κύκλον -kyklon - keeklon". "ὑπερμενέτα - ypermeneta - EEpermeneta"

i hope this helps You too on your path to the inner hearts and intimate chambers of Ares. i recommend translating each original sentence and hearing it in Greek, then using the "phonic" translation as an assistant.

To the infinite defender of Olympus, Son of Zeus.. Sword of Mars .. . . . hail !

Osamu Dazai (BSD) - Oda/Book/Universe Theory

So... I've been thinking really hard about bsd, specifically Dazai and his connections to Odasaku and the Book (ie. the beast au too).

Warning: It might not be 100% correct as I've never read beast or the light novels and am currently rewatching bsd now.

So, anyways... I've been thinking, we all know B!Dazai was following the same route as OG!Dazai up until around the time he met Oda for the first time. Afterwords, Dazai came into contact with the Book and had his whole singularity moment where he saw what we call the OG universe, leading to the changes that happen within Beast and the outcomes of those decisions. What this means is our Dazai would have had to have the same phenomenon happen, meaning the theory that Oda was in possession of the Book at some point might be true.

But how does that connect with OG!Dazai?

Well, what if we aren't viewing the actual OG!universe of BSD... what if the proper OG was another past universe and our OG is simply another variation of the proper original?

We see that Dazai (one of them) created infinite universes where he tries to save Odasaku, but fails. Meaning Oda is essentially the core of each universes survival; sure the lives of others may go on after Oda's death, but Dazai doesn't. Leading to the more universes being created. What I mean is Oda is the sun and Dazai is his planet that forever orbits around him, and without the sun, the planet is dead.

I say this because while we don't know what happens in the other universes outside of Beast, the entire point has been clear that the motive behind the universes creation was for Dazai to save Oda; only he failed each time. So, what if within the Book, those universes are scrapped and left to write themselves by the ones remaining, but that universe no longer holds any value to Dazai and so the Dazai's in those universes 'die' in some way, shape or form. After all, Oda didn't survive and Dazai felt no need to continue.

This leads me to my theory that our OG world isn't the original, because as I stated, Dazai has often hinted at the idea that he knows what the Book is and how to use it throughout the series. So what if similarly to B!Dazai, before Dazai met Oda in this universe, he came into contact with the Book and saw these alternate universes, ie. before B!Dazai, but unlike in some of the other universes, Dazai chose to bring Odasaku into the mafia and stay by his side in hopes that nothing will happen on account to him being a powerful executive (after all, Dazai became an executive at 16, around the time he met Oda), so Dazai gaining the power might have been tied to Oda from the beginning; similarly why he was so dead set on recruiting Chuuya.

Because he already knew who he could trust as well as those he could use in the long run.

I reference this to the quote "Everything I never want to lose is always lost... that's how it's always been for me." and the quote from Kouyou; "Dazai has already seen how all of this would play out" meaning if he had knowledge of what came up until Oda's death, it would explain why the mafia thrived under his leadership and command. Why Mori is dead set on bringing Dazai back despite his fear because with Dazai he can predict what is to come with the oncoming conflicts.

What if our OG!universe was the one the creator chose to focus on because it's the only universe in which Dazai persues life AFTER Oda's death. After witnessing so many universes in which he fails to save Oda, and having Odasaku say his last words; for Dazai to live on and "protect" others... This universe would allow Dazai to continue his path by giving him another reason to live (outside of his failing to save Oda), by having him live to achieve Odasaku's last wishes. It would still allow for Dazai and Oda's planetary orbit to continue, even if one of them is no longer alive.

It could also be why Dazai is unable to commit suicide properly, and how no matter how injured he gets, he will always come out on top, as he is seen as one of the two individuals that allow for the universe to continue it's cycle. But it could also tie into why Dazai's ability is called "No Longer Human", even if the abilities are simply named after our RL!authors.

I say this because the understanding of BSD!abilities is that they are tied to one's soul, and by either association of the poetry or by actively hearing those words does the ability activate for the first time, it's why people can live their lives never knowing if they had an ability or not.

And while the idea that Dazai came from an abusive household prior to the mafia might be true, Dazai's suicide attempt might have actually been in connection to the alternative universes and the Book, much like B!Dazai, attempting to unalive himself before he had the chance to meet Oda and cause the death of his long time friend in the future. Meaning, the Book and the universe itself would have intervened, "guiding" Mori to Dazai, who saved him and took him into the mafia where everything continued sailing; and no matter how much he tried to end his life, each attempt failed because the universe is getting desperate to keep the world going after so many failed attempt.

After all, we don't know the author behind the Book, and the idea that it can change reality... the idea that the Book came about from the universe itself and not a regular ability user might make more sense.

This might also tie into the idea of Fyodor too because as far as I'm aware (not read beast, but have heard a lot about it), Fyodor never appeared in the Beast universe.

This could mean that because Dazai is continuing to live by Odasaku's last wishes, the world is having to introduce new threats and challenges to keep Dazai in the game because after a while, Dazai might get bored and decide he's done. That there's no use in continue his existence because he's saved what he deems "enough" people. And by adding Fyodor, someone who is on the same level as him intellectually, Dazai can feel alive as long as he is mentally stimulated and challenged; his mind is less on suicide and more on defeating the big enemy that poses a threat to the peace and safety Oda wanted Dazai to witness.

Because if there's one thing I've noticed in the beginning of bsd to the point I'm at in the series and the spoilers I know from the later season, is that Dazai attempted to commit suicide quite a lot during the earlier season, but doesn't make as many attempts when his mind is occupied on a tough case that distracts his boredom.

// Now I might be wrong as this is simply a theory, given Dazai is a complex and mysterious character we honestly don't know much on outside of Oda and his time in the mafia and ada. I mean, there's also the time he was in hiding between that we have no idea where he was or what he was doing. But I hope people like my theory anyways, even in the event that it might be complete nonesense haha. //

Excerpt from "On the Ethics of Demonic Summoning" by Gershom the Logical

If a wizarding tower were to teach a course on wizarding ethics, which they would not, a possible problem to be posed could be: if a wizard were to cast a spell sending someone to a demonic realm, and the person sent was killed, would the wizard be responsible for murder? Manslaughter? Would they be an accessory to the crime, or an accomplice? Would intention matter?

Let’s make this more complicated. If a person with a spark of magic, who never had any wizarding education, were to accidentally cast a spell banishing someone to a demonic realm, and the person was killed, would that person be responsible for anything? Would the wizarding tower most near to them have any responsibility, for not properly teaching the caster?

And what of the denizen of the demonic realm who carried out the slaying? Let’s say the person sent to their realm suddenly appeared in an imp’s house, in the chambers of said imp’s young daughter. No demonic denizen would fault the imp for protecting his daughter and home, even if the spell’s victim was an innocent as well.

To make it even more complicated- what if this imp was contracted to a warlock? Does this warlock have any culpability, even if not present?

Unlike in citizen law, there is no guideline in wizard law and ethics, if such a thing were to exist. Such a thing would be laughable, even. In the rare case where a wizard or other magical person would face societal consequences for any action, they would most likely be called to a magic duel against the tower’s champion. On the rare occasion this was refused, as even though theoretical wizards were not practical sorcerers or witches, they were prideful beings, there would indeed be a wizard trial. However, wizard trials were imprecise, ugly things. Three high wizards of the tower would be randomly chosen to serve as judge and jury, which may sound democratic and practical to the unlearned reader, but that could never be the case.

Say the issue coming to trial is a case of murder. One wizard shoots a lightning bolt at another, and the electrocuted wizard dies. The lightning-shooter then refuses a duel, which again would be strange as this wizard has proven himself quite adroit with magic execution, as seen by his act of murder. Thus this three wizard trial of peers is assembled. The first wizard is practically a priest and worshipper of Mercy, and as such believes that murder is never justified even in self-defense. The second wizard is the head of a mathematical research study and will capitulate to whatever ruling will remove them from their civic duty fastest. And the final is a necromancer, who just thinks murder is funny. How could civic due diligence possibly be performed?
