love that when megacles and peisistratos were conspiring to find a way to get peisistratos back on the athenians' good side their best idea (according to herodotus) was to find a really tall, beautiful woman and dress her up in armor and say that she was athena and she thinks peisistratos is so cool, guys. and it worked because let's be real if i saw a really tall, beautiful woman dressed in armor claiming to be athena i'd do whatever she asked of me

In tt Pegasus AU, if Rodorio ever took the time to take a good look at the present Gold Saints and compare them to the ones he knew from his time, what would his opinion be?
Like, in my in my head, bro is just looking at Cancer Deathmask and is just internally going "Damn, were they short on candidates this time round?? Casandra is rolling in her grave, smh."
Or with Leo Aiolia, it's just "He hasn't started bitching at me yet, plus some of my other incarnations get along well with him. Better than Lihan, ig."
I think disappointment is a good way to describe how you feel towards some of them.
Yes Aioria is better than Lihan because he is not on top of him bothering him all the time, plus he couldn't kill Lihan because they were allies and all that, but Aioria is not Chares either, Bellerephon's little brother who became a saint of Leo after the Lihan's death, which Rodorio enjoyed very much.
Aldebaran is much better than Alnath because he is not trying to become his stepfather.
And Milo is better than Basil because he's not some brat who has decided that Rodorio is his new favorite person. Rodorio was only willing to put up with a brat who thought of him as his favorite person and it wasn't Basil.
But the rest of them either there is nothing to say because they are neither bad nor good or they are a disappointment.
There is nothing to say about Mu, Jamirians are usually quite calm and Dayula was no different although a little initiative would be nice.
The Gemini are a disaster, Asim and Anipe also fought but they loved each other. And Rodorio gave Asim the talk at his wedding with Eudokia (Bellerephon's little sister) that if he dared to harm her in any way, he would kill him.
He doesn't want to talk about the Cancer saints because that makes him think about killing Apollo and he has to kill Hades first. But he expected more from Cancer
Shaka is fine, nothing special but it is somewhat arrogant that he tries to give speeches and call himself the closest to God when he hasn't even awakened his eighth sense.
Dohko is better than Silvio because he didn't kidnap Bellerephon (although at least Silvio apologized unlike Lihan)
Shura is nothing special, Telemachus at least had enough history with Athena to call himself her most loyal knight. And he showed that he had brains, a shame that he died otherwise he would have been a good Patriarch.
He's not sure what's going on with Camus and that stone face, but at least he's not a drunk who endangers everyone.
I feel sorry for Aiors, his sacrifice is very brave, so it's okay. But Bellerephon will always be the superior Sagittarius.
He has not seen the golden saint of Ophiuchus even once so he has no one to compare Megacles with.
Enkomi was the only one of the saints that Rodorio was really careful with because Pisces poison is no joke. Rodorio and Félix would like to know why Aphrodite doesn't have poisonous blood.

Peisistratus rides into Athens with Athene
605 BC – On this date the Athenian benevolent tyrant Peisistratus was born (d.527 BC). Peisistratos was the son of a philosopher and teacher called Hippocrates, and was named for the Peisistratos in the Odyssey. He lowered taxes and increased Athens' economy.
According to Plutarch he was the eromenos (Greek for "young lover") of the Athenian lawgiver Solon. He assisted Solon in his endeavors, and fought bravely in the battle of Salamis.
When Solon left Athens, Peisistratos became leader of the party of the Highlands (poor, rural people) in 565 BC. Peisistratos used a clever scheme, calling for bodyguards after he pretended to be attacked. Those bodyguards were composed of the people of the Highlands who had entered Athens. In 561 BC he seized the Acropolis with this group of bodyguards, becoming ruler. His rule did not last - he was driven out by Lycurgis, Megacles and others from the party of the Coast within the year. He returned 10 years later (in legend, with Athene at his side), regained power and reigned for 23 years until his death in 527 BC.
During his reign, many temples were built and he encouraged poets and artists by welcoming them into his court. According to a story first mentioned by the Latin author Cicero, Peisistratus ordered the writing down of the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer, which had previously been transmitted orally.

1882 – Johannes Holzmann (d.1914) was a German anarchist writer and activist who generally went by the pseudonym Senna Hoy.
Holzmann, born in Tuchel, Prussia (now Tuchola, Poland), hailed from a bourgeois Jewish family. Moving to Berlin, he became a teacher of religion at first. Like many intellectuals around the turn of the century, he felt oppressed by the restrictive morals then reigning German society. He quit teaching in 1902 and founded the League for Human Rights (Bund für Menschenrecht, in German) in 1903.
In 1904, he published a booklet entitled "Das dritte Geschlecht" ("The Third Gender"). In it, he attacked homophobia, laying most of the blame on religion. Above all, the text was intended to be educational and covered evolution, biology and issues then facing homosexuals.
From 1904 to 1905, Holzmann edited the journal Der Kampf: Zeitschrift für gesunden Menschenverstand (The Struggle: Journal for Common Sense). Though it was not published by any particular organization, the journal was anarchist in outlook. In addition to fictional stories, Der Kampf published articles on various topics, including many about homosexuality. Among its writers were Else Lasker-Schüler, Peter Hille, and Erich Mühsam and, at its best, it had a circulation of up to 10,000.
During this time, Holzmann wrote an article entitled "Die Homosexualität als Kulturbewegung" ("Homosexuality as a Cultural Movement"). He argued that the right to privacy entailed that "no one has the right to intrude in the private matters of another, to meddle in another's personal views and orientations, and that ultimately it is no one's business what two freely consenting adults do in their homes." He attacked Paragraph 175 of the German criminal code which criminalized homosexual acts.
To him, the struggle against the prohibition of homosexual acts was part of a larger struggle for emancipation. He disagreed with the mainstream socialist movement, namely the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), that viewed the repeal of Paragraph 175 as a minor issue. He also opposed the SPD's tactic of forcefully outing gays, such as the steel magnate Friedrich Alfred Krupp, in order to bring about the repeal of Paragraph 175. He called this tactic an "indecent weapon", saying that anyone who practices it "is willing to remove ground under his own feet by practicing the very injustice that he opposes". He also disagreed with many other German gay rights activists such as Adolf Brand who did not see their struggle as part of a wider movement.
He views caused him to be monitored by the police. Annoyed by this, he wrote a letter to the chief of the Berlin police, threatening to punch the next person he caught spying on him in the face. For this, he was sentenced to four months in prison, but he decided to flee rather than serve the sentence.
Once in Zurich, he worked for a newspaper called Der Weckruf (The Wake-up Call). He was arrested once more and deported. He sneaked back into Switzerland. He tried to stay in hiding by faking his own death. He wrote an obituary for himself claiming that he had been killed in the course of a prisoners' escape. After this was exposed, he was disgraced, even within the anarchist scene. Therefore, he decided to leave Zurich. After spending a couple of months in Paris, he decided to move to Russia.
He opted for Russia, having reported on the 1905 Russian Revolution in Der Kampf, because he thought Europe's future depended on the outcome of revolutionary developments in that country. He joined an anarchist federation in Poland, then part of the Russian Empire. He assisted that organization for several weeks, robbing rich merchants to fund the group's activities. In June 1907, he was caught and sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor. Having struggled for his release for years, his supporters finally managed to convince the Russian authorities to let him go. However, the German authorities refused to let him back into the country, so he was forced to remain incarcerated in Russia. Meanwhile, Holzmann's health deteriorated. He suffered from malnutrition and typhus and died on April 28, 1914.

1930 – The Oscar-winning Spanish-born Cuban cinematographer Néstor Almendros, was born on this date (d.1992). Born in Barcelona, Spain, Almendros moved to Cuba at age 18 to join his exiled anti-Franco father. In Havana, he founded a cinema club and wrote film reviews. Then he went on to study in Rome at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. He directed six shorts in Cuba and two in New York. After the 1959 Cuban Revolution, he returned and made several documentaries for the Castro regime. But after two of his shorts (Gente En La Playa and La Tumba Francesa) were banned, he moved to Paris. There he became the favorite of Éric Rohmer and François Truffaut. In 1978, he started his Hollywood career, and won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography for the film Days of Heaven. Four years later he was nominated again by the Academy for his work on Sophie's Choice.
In his later years, Almendros co-directed two documentaries about the human rights situation in Cuba: Mauvaise Conduite (about the persecution of Gay people) and Nobody Listened (about the arrest, imprisonment, and torture of former comrades of Fidel Castro). He shot several prestigious advertisements for Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein.
In 1992, Néstor Almendros died of AIDS in New York at age 61. Human Rights Watch International has named an award after him, given every year at the HRWI film festival.

Hysén speaks at Stockholm Pride
1959 – Glenn Hysén, born in Gothenburg, Sweden, is a football manager and former player who played for leading Dutch, Italian and English clubs and won 68 caps for Sweden. He is also a reality television star, coach, and football commentator.
Hysén is the father of Tobias Hysén of IFK Göteborg, Alexander Hysén of GIF Sundsvall, and Anton Hysén of Utsiktens BK.
At Frankfurt Airport in 2001, Hysén attacked a man who had groped him while in the public restroom. In 2007, Hysén spoke at Stockholm Pride, the largest gay pride festival in the Nordic region. Many people from the gay community were surprised due to the earlier incident. At the Stockholm Pride, he delivered a speech denouncing sports homophobia and laid to rest his 2001 airport incident.
He stated that,
"I know that many LGBT people have been the victims of assaults and hate crimes. I can therefore understand if some people have been upset by the airport incident, so I want to be clear: I think that it is completely unacceptable that anybody should be subjected to assaults, insults or hate crimes due to their sexual orientation or gender identity ...The incident had been blown out of proportion in the media...In order to finally flush the Frankfurt Airport punch down the toilet: it is not the case that I beat up a gay person. I categorically deny that ...I'm not proud that I took a swing at him, but I am proud that I have integrity and that I reacted."
In the same speech he asked "How easy would it be for a sixteen-year-old boy who plays football to come out as gay to his team mates?" In March 2011, his youngest son, Anton Hysén, a professional footballer himself, came out of the closet to the media.

What gets me in Nei giorni tuoi felici is actually this very first line. Because Licida is his special sweet prince, it does not occur to Megacle that Aristeia may not be happy with Licida and might just absolutely fucking hate him. Of course it is partly just Megacle's wishful thinking, but I think it is also a very characteristic blind spot.

Having read that vickers guy's book about how Pheidippides in this play has Alcibiades elements, I CANNOT UNSEE IT.
His mom is of aristocratic descent and related to some "megacles" and he only cares for horses and racing and his hair 💀
I stole Aristophanes' Clouds from my grandma's house. Translated by my beloved Varnalis, so expect some nice passages to be shared here lately.

Anyway. Giving Celio a horse aria. Specifically Quel destrier che all'albergo è vicino (Licida's first aria in L'Olimpiade) because he and Licida are the same type of character. Cicero is of course no Megacle.
