i finally finished the aeneid and even in the very last lines aeneas is absolutely haunted and hunted by destiny. i found it disturbing

in the iliad the presence of destiny is felt in the way the heroes throw themselves at fighting and death in the name of eternal fame, kleos etc, they are aware of what awaits them and they’re running toward it. achilles comes to troy knowing for certain that he will die, his destiny is inescapable but he is fine with that, he wants eternal glory, he will die for it, he accepts that before he even sets sail for troy. hector knows and accepts that his fate is intertwined with troy’s fate. aeneas is different from these other heroes, he wants glory of course like everyone else does but he never seems to want more than to defend troy. but after troy falls, he’s propelled forward by the will of the gods and nothing more. he wants to die in troy like hector and paris but the gods don’t want him to. they show him his destiny—to found rome—and he doesn’t want it, he tries to fight it. it never works.

he falls in love with dido, he starts to build homes for his people in her kingdom, the gods send messengers and portents to push him toward italy. he reaches acestes’s town and starts to build homes there and the gods send him messengers and portents again. he is always aware of his destiny and still he tries to settle down anyway! he keeps starting to build a home somewhere and has it ripped from him over and over!

when aeneas gets his special armor from aphrodite, there’s this really beautiful moment where aeneas looks upon the special shield created for him by the gods and sees upon it intricately carved patterns of stories of his future, the roman empire and all the heroes and achievements of people he will never know but has sacrificed everything for against his will. and he takes the armor and with it the “fate and fame of his descendants” even though he doesn’t know what that is. it’s sad reading on about the battle that he fights and loses so many faithful friends to later, fighting for rome and not knowing what rome is, a pawn of the gods until the very end of the poem

A fun thing me and my sister do is sing parts of the Epic songs but in the funniest character voices we can manage to imitate. Examples being Christoper Walkin, Kermit the frog, Mickey Mouse, Jennifer Coolidge, Danny Devito, etc. Our personal favourite bit to do is Poseidon’s get in the water line but in the most babiest voice ever, like a baby trying to sound menacing but you’re too busy laughing at him xD

Another thing that absolutely KILLED me is when she did Mickey Mouse’s voice singing Hold them down and if you know the words to that song then you can imagine the imagery that carries xDDD

Guess. What. Bestie! I feel like we’re overdue for one of our prompt sets ;-) If you’d like, I think it would be fun to re-visit the first theme we did— mythology! Last time, you did moodboards for Artemis/Apollo, the labyrinth, and Demeter/Persephone. If you’re up for it, I think we should add a couple more to that collection 😎 5 to be exact, hehe… for your first Greek Mythology prompt, let’s try— The Muses 🎭

The Muses

aaaaaaaaaaaaa yay!!! i wasnt sure how i wanted to go about this, but my boards always have 9 images, so i chose one image for each muse and tried to fit them together- hope it worked-

I love stories that are clear-cut genre fiction, but the stakes are far lower than they'd normally be for this sort of thing, and all the comedy of the story stems from everyone still treating the matter exactly as dead seriously as the genre usually does. Sports anime about playing uno. An epic adventure journey to the grocery store to get a block of cheese before they close. A detective mystery with clues and verifying alibis and multiple tangles of interpersonal drama that is dramatically revealed as the mystery unfolds, but instead of a murder they're trying to figure out who shit in the office urinal. A heist movie where a team of highly trained experts of various skills come up with an astonishingly complex and convoluted scheme to reach a goal, but instead of breaking into a bank or stealing a huge diamond, it's for something ridiculously insignificant.

Like shitting in the office urinal.
