Which Ancient Greek playwright do you prefer? The winner will be announced after the end of this poll.

Aeschylus (I like grand, formal, traditional, but intimidating tragedies)

Sophocles (I like polished, balanced, but tightening and focused tragedies)

Euripides (I like gritty, realistic, and dark psychological tragedies)

Aristophanes (I prefer comedy or political satires)

Menander (I prefer NEW comedy or everyday life comedy)

Voting ended onApr 5

#perhaps I am too basic but I do love the Bacchae so that's what I'm basing my vote on...#Aristophanes is fun though #also Euripides is the one I've read the most of in Greek so

Epithet Database Update

I believe we have a lot of the more popular deities added to the database already (at least the theoi epithets as a base)! with the exception of Dionysus and Hekate who are still being worked on.

A database of all the epithets for the greek gods!

So what's next?

Now we can focus more on finding the epithets outside of theoi for the deities already in the database. but if you would like to see a deity added sooner rather then later, you can request they be added!

While we work on the deities listed all other deities will be added only when requested. you can reply to this post in some way or send an ask with the deity you want to see added and we'll add them if theoi has any epithets listed! if theoi does not have any epithets listed then we'll let you know that they'll be added once we start finding some epithets

please do not use the submission form to request a deity! that form is for submitting any epithets we missed / have not gotten to, if you are not submitting an epithet please do not use it. any deity requests will be deleted if sent through the submission form on the site.

Hey look! A thing I'm helping with! Go check it out!

You want to see relevant epithets you can start using in your prayers? Here you go! Want to see a list that shows MULTIPLE meanings where they occur or acknowledging where meaning is uncertain instead of picking only one (for those we've gotten past 'just theoi.com' for)? Here you go!! You want sources for every tidbit of info to double check or do more reading? Here you goooo!!!!

Also since I've been helping with it you can also send asks/deity requests to me as well!

#super interesting!#since the Greek forms seem to be the exact version that appears in a text #rather than the lemma #it's making me think about the usage of the nominative/vocative in modern prayer #where most people are probably getting the nominative form #and using that in address #ultimately it doesn't matter but these are things I have been thinking about now that I know ancient Greek

dead internet theory but it's realizing that most of the people you see posting about comics do not read comics

arkham

every time i post something like this someone gets mad at me but i really don't know what to tell these people. every year we get an influx of people who will enter these spaces for a shared interest in comics that they not only have not read, they often have no interest in reading and sometimes will actively degrade the entire medium to justify not reading them. and if you express any discontent with this arrangement you're the bad guy for not enabling a deeply incurious practice of not wanting to engage with art or its creators beyond digestible abridged versions plastered over slideshows of out of context panels and stolen fanart

I'M ALIVE ;0; Happy Monday! Work's been crazy, but hopefully this big post makes up for my absence 🙇 Someday i'll learn to post fewer images, but for now i feel the need to hide my batcat brainrot at the bottom... (if i wasn't already going to hell, i definitely secured my ticket with this one :'D)
