Το να κάθομαι στο μπαλκόνι μου έχοντας βάλει μουσική στο λάπτοπ και να χαζεύω τον Λυκαβηττό και τα αθηναϊκά μπαλκόνια είναι η αγαπημένη μου ανοιξιάτικη συνήθεια, ακόμη κι αν δεν έχω παρέα.

Can we consider "Cult of the Lamb" similar to a Greek tragedy, in the way the themes are portrayed?
First of all my English is good but it's not my first language so there may be errors.
Anyway I am studying classic Greek literature and I have an unhealthy obsession with Colt.
While studying I was reading the definition of tragedy by the Greek mentality (which is very different by our own): basically the Greek thought that the tragedy was in how things kinda just happened and that humans could really have answers, because the "ship" that is the Universe isn't controlled by us and nobody tells us the answers. (This is my understanding from the book I have to study, it's in Italian by Guidorizzi "Pietà e Terrore" unfortunately I don't know if there is an English translation for anyone who is interested).
Anyway if we see how things are in Cult of the Lamb things kinda just happen the Lamb never has the full picture they just do (like the protagonist of a tragedy).
The Bishops have a prophecy and their own doings led to their downfall (this includes Narinder) like many other characters in the Greek world.
The bird dude (I don't remember the name) acts as a Deus Ex Machina when he appears to explain he reveals all the treats (like the gods do in Greek theater).
In Greek tragedy there isn't any happy ending, it's the total opposite of an happy ending even when things finish in a "good way" and personally I think that it's the same for the story of our Lamb.
Yes, the Lamb becomes a God but for me (this is my perspective) it isn't the 'best version of the world' (like a Hollywood happy ending): the lambs are still dead, they choose the "kindness " of keeping alive the Bishops and Narinder but mostly to have the repent, he will still need to do horribles acts (like sacrificing Ratau for example) and they will do it for eternity.
The Lamb is far from a hero, he has a grey morality and he chooses to act the way they do.
These are the things I see in common with Greek Tragedy .

Comments like this drive me insane. Greece legalising same-sex marriage and allowing same-sex couples to adopt it is NOT a return to tradition or going back to our "gay roots".
It’s a fucking result of years of fighting AGAINST tradition. It’s a sign we move towards a more progressive MODERN society. Same-sex marriage and adoption were not a thing in Ancient Greece, (at least not in any way that matters for today's society, which you know it’s the society we Greek queers live in).
I know you all associate Greece with gay icon Achilles and sure whatever. But Ancient Greece was not a queer paradise. Unless you were a rich man and even then it wasn't all fun and games.
This is real life. Queer people still face lots of discrimination. Trans people, especially, for whom such laws do not account for. This is a massive win and a sign to keep fighting for our rights, don’t bastardise the meaning of it by talking about headcanons of some fictional past manufactured by YA authors.

Χθες μου έστειλε ένα άτομο μήνυμα για να μιλήσουμε για σεξ. Του είπα όχι ,προφανώς και συνέχισε με αποτέλεσμα να τον κάνω μπλοκ. Αλλά προφανως και δεν πτοήθηκε και έφτιαξε άλλα πέντε προφίλ.
Παιδια ήταν ο ίδιος , δεν ξέρω προσέξτε γενικά σε ποιον απαντάτε. Έχει τρελαθεί ο κόσμος.
Επίσης εσύ που το έκανες αυτό συγγνώμη που θα στο πω αλλά φίλε έτσι δεν πήδηξε ποτέ κανείς.

Θέλω κάποιον που να αγαπάει τη θάλασσα όσο εγώ, κάποιον που του αρέσουν οι βόλτες με το αμάξι, κάποιον που να θέλει να κοιτάει τον ουρανό και τα αστέρια. Θέλω να πηγαίνω με κάποιον για νυχτερινό μπάνιο. Θέλω να του αρέσει η λογοτεχνία και να είναι ερωτευμένος με τα αγαπημένα του τραγούδια, θέλω να μπορούμε να κάτσουμε σιωπηλοί κοιτώντας το ηλιοβασίλεμα χωρίς να είναι άβολο. Θέλω ένα άτομο που να με κάνει να νιώθω ασφάλεια, δεν θα φωνάζει και όταν θα έχουμε προβλήματα θα μπορούμε να συζητάμε μέχρι να βρούμε τη λύση. Θέλω κάποιον που να ξέρει να ζητάει συγγνώμη. Θέλω κάποιον να με παίρνει αγκαλιά όταν δεν είμαι καλά και να μου χαϊδεύει τα μαλλιά, να μου ψιθυρίζει στο αφτί ότι όλα θα είναι εντάξει σε λίγο και ότι δεν θα καταστραφεί ο κόσμος, ακόμα και αν έτσι νιώθω.
