Epic: The Underworld Saga

The Underworld Saga slaps. But I'm gonna drop another bucket of feels to The Underworld number.

Remember to get to the Underworld, you have to cross the River Styx. Odysseus is going by ship, but most of the time, it's just dead souls moving on to the afterlife, so they cross with Charon the Ferryman.

Thing is, though, you have to pay him.

Part of the burial rites in Ancient Greece was placing a coin in the mouth or near the body of the deceased so they could pay Charon to bring them across the river. No coin, no crossing.

Polites was killed by the Cyclops and left behind.

The 558 men drowned in the ocean after Poseidon's rampage.

His mother Anticlea drowned herself off the shores of Ithaka. (At least in versions of the story I remember. Somebody who's actually read The Odyssey will have more accurate information on her fate.)

None of them received a proper burial.

So all those souls they encounter in that number are trapped in limbo for eternity because they can't pay for the crossing.

The two inexplicable things Tumblr can agree on regarding history:

1. Dragging Ea-Nasir for all eternity

2. Celebrating Julius Caesar Got Stabbed Day

Julius Caesar memes are fun and all, but make sure you don’t forget the true meaning of the holiday: Stabbing the fuck out of politicians for their flagrant, self-serving abuse of power.

I don't care what official translations say, I chose to believe "Et tu, Brute?" translates to "What the FUCK, Brutus?"

is it just me or are these 2 so much alike?

their personalities are so much alike, both loves natures and animals, are the peacemaker of the bunch when others are fighting, they both have low self-esteem and rather hides their ideas instead of sharing it, they act, respond and sounds like each other in like every single way (they even have the same isfj and enneagram type) i swear they are the same characters in different dimensions

ok but the first episode starting with look i didn’t want to be a half blood and the last episode starting with luke saying look you didn’t ask to be a half blood has to be the cruelest thing ever

[mysone]

something about percy winning against ares by drawing first blood, not giving a fuck that it’s the god of war he is making an enemy out of vs him being caught totally unaware by luke and luke drawing first blood because percy hesitated, because this is his friend, because making an enemy out of a god is way more preferable over making an enemy out of a friend. percy winning against insurmountable odds vs him losing because his loyalty is truly and undoubtedly fatal.
