I feel like Phillipa Soo was the only cast member in Hamilton to be responsible enough to even remotely be trusted with fire on an extremely expensive wooden stage.

This.

petition to start calling the bible christian mythology anytime someone starts talking about hellenism like its an ancient dead religion and none exist anymore

"Semele dared a wish— to see;

That her eyes might equal be

With her heart and lips and ears:

Night on perfect night she pled

Sudden lightning drank her tears,

Life and sweetness: she lay dead."

—Thomas Sturge Moore, Semele

Polites: You can relax, my friend.

Narrator: He, infact, couldn't and shouldn't relax.

Based on the myth of Dionysus being kidnapped by pirates (and getting owned by him)

On the myth Dionysus while being kidnapped the pirates were underestimating his nature itself as a god. Provoking him obviously results in him punishing them and transforming them as dolphins.

In my comic, I give a darker look at his power, especially when many people think that Dionysus has no power nor is he capable of fighting. In these images, it is emphasized, what extremes he can go to if he wants to, but he chooses to keep himself in check.

He has many more facets he's neither dark nor light. He lives in the between, neither good nor bad, he just is.

I watch Blood of Zeus for the plot.

...

The plot just happens to be glowing, golden and gorgeous.

Honorable mention:

Did NOT get enough screen time.

Season 3, maybe????

Odysseus— "you've grown soft, your dead friends can attest//I don't know where I went wrong//you failed the test, so now im gone//i mistook you for a general, what a waste of effort spent"–The–Athena–Favoured.

And

Achilles—"I left you too long on Pelion."// "It has ruined you."//"this is not my son."//"i am not dead yet" "you may as well be."—Aristos–Achaion, Son–of–Immortal–Thetis.

"ATTACK FROM BEHIND, KEEP DISTANCE IN MIND AND STAY IN HIS BLIND SPOT. AND STRIKE THE HEELS"

Literally what being around Achilles for 10 straight years does to a man.

I love this musical.

It's always "Hades isn't bad or cruel, his deeds are just metaphors of the inevitable death" or "Hades kidnapping Persephone represent the premature death".

But when the argument "Zeus has numerous affairs and many children because he represent the fertile rain" is brought up, all nuance is suddenly out of the window and Zeus is just a womanizer who can't keep it in his pants.

was playing "fetch" with the ocean today by tossing stones into it and watching them wash back up with the tide a few meters away, and it got me thinking about grief and the things we carry with us even after we lose them

If you have achieved something, please remember to observe a mandatory period of basking in the warm glow of your achievement like a lizard on a stone, lest you teach your brain that effort is futile, actually, because it didn't get to enjoy its happy chemicals, so, naturally, nothing good ever comes of trying. (And no, avoiding punishment is not a reward!)

I recommend, like, 5% of basking time in relation to whatever time you invested into achieving the thing minimum. And if you can't make your own bask, friend-brought is fine (= tell your friends!).

an old drunk man told me to enjoy my life and have fun because I’m only 24 and I have so many years and so much life ahead of me and then he went “and you know what? in ten years when you’re 34 you’ll still be young and have your whole life ahead of you” and it was really comforting to me

New apollo epithet just dropped. HARMACIST APOLLO

“It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown I back, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.” ― Donna Tartt, The Secret History
