Powerful women from the classical world + excerpt of a letter from Lord Byron to Thomas Moore describing his lover Margarita Cogni (Venice, September 19th, 1818):

“I wish you a good night, with a Venetian benediction, ‘Benedetto te, e la terra che ti fara!’ — ‘May you be blessed, and the earth which you will make!’ — is it not pretty? You would think it still prettier if you had heard it, as I did two hours ago, from the lips of a Venetian girl, with large black eyes, a face like Faustina’s, and the figure of a Juno — tall and energetic as a Pythoness, with eyes flashing, and her dark hair streaming in the moonlight — one of those women who may be made any thing. I am sure if I put a poniard into the hand of this one, she would plunge it where I told her, — and into me, if I offended her. I like this kind of animal, and am sure that I should have preferred Medea to any woman that ever breathed.”

The mythical and historical allusions:

In Roman myth, Juno was Queen of the Gods as well as a military figure often depicted armed. In Greek myth, Medea was a sorceress who gets revenge against her unfaithful husband through murdering their children and his lover. Although “Pythoness” could refer to demonic witches in other uses, Byron is using it here as another name for Pythia or the Oracle of Delphi, a divine priestess and the most powerful female office in the ancient world.

Faustina is either a reference to the Younger or the Elder. Faustina the Younger was the wife of Marcus Aurelius; he revered her so much that he gave her enormous power, although later historians (probably falsely) accused her of being a murderer and adulteress. Faustina the Elder was the adoptive mother of Marcus Aurelius and was one of the most beloved Roman women in history, whose coinage often features Juno.

Byron's life and writing in context:

When he was living abroad in self-exile, Byron often sought to entertain his friends back home by sharing his adventures in lurid detail. His vivid letters became well-read throughout the 1800s, and are considered some of his best writing. Travel writing and adventure stories were extremely popular in the 19th century, and even most of Byron’s fiction champions these themes. Living abroad and traveling became marketable parts of Byron's celebrity. He blended his own experiences into his work, and chief among these were his romantic experiences.

Shelley once compared Byron to the Greek myth of Circe when writing in a letter about Byron's excessive amount of pets. Circe was known for seducing men and turning them into animals who roamed around her palace. Like a witch or an alchemist, Byron frequently transformed his lovers into characters through his writing. Like countless others, Margarita Cogni was mythically immortalized through the writer's description of her. She and Byron's other Venetian lovers have become part of the wider Romantic era mythology tradition, like the constantly retold tales of Mary Shelley's invention of Frankenstein, Percy Shelley's drowning, and John Keats' love for Fanny Brawne.

By using references to classical women in this letter Byron is not only paying tribute to mythology, history, and the Italian landscape in a way that his foreign audience would find tantalizing, but he is also exploring romanticized notions of classical female beauty which are at turns conventional and unconventional. He channels the gothic sublime through the otherworldly power and danger these women all represent, as well as channeling more traditional concepts of feminine strength rooted in modesty, beauty, and passivity. Byron creates poetic contradictions.

Just as he famously describes himself as “changeable, being everything by turns and nothing long,” he utilizes paradox and inconstance in his writing, such as in this satirical formulation of Margarita Cogni as the ideal lover who is both Goddess and woman, mistress and slave, contemporary and classical, masculine and feminine, wife and adulteress, murderess and murdered.

One can clearly see how this is the same chameolonic, binary-blurring poet who would go on to write the gender-bending themes of Don Juan — “If people contradict themselves, can I / Help contradicting them, and every body, / Even my veracious self?” — and who years beforehand had written She Walks in Beauty — where “all that’s best of dark and bright / Meet in her aspect and her eyes.”

Kita looked down where their hands met, then up at Moriah. “I know you and Ipati aren’t— but— have you ever liked anyone? I’m just admittedly curious.” It truly was a personal question this time and that came as a surprise to Moriah. She answered, “No. No, I’ve…” It was her turn now to look away, down at her hands “…Never met a man who interests me in those regards.” Kita leaned forward. “But…there are so many more kinds of people than just men.”

not the scene pictured, but I do love this little section of dialogue so I'm tacking it on anyway :) Merry Christmas, @the-commonplace-book!!!! Thank you for being the best writing partner anyone could ever ask for (and the best platonic partner, too!!) Here, we finally have a drawing of Kita and Moriah! :D

Hymn to Pseudanor

Muses, hear me sing of Pseudanor, False-Man Dionysos, soft eyed and soft wristed, He of the Too-Ready Laugh; Bacchic lord of camp and mirth, I raise my uncoached voice to you in praise.

Butch Queen Bromios, Thundering Diva, realness has never been your strength, nor objective; you hold the sissies and the faggots tenderly in outstretched arms.

Your children know you by your casual reads, by your sharp excoriation, by your understanding grace, as we, too, approximate manhood and we fall, as ever, short, for Lord, you and I both know that we're not fooling anyone.

Like Pythia, we breathe the vapors, prophesize for you; we speak in tongues and tongue the cheeks of beauties and of beasts; for you we Rush, we bite and Bolt, your Liquid Gold spills into us, as we open consciousness and bodies to receive, receive, receive.

Enthousiasmos finds us on the dancefloor.

Brick-thrower, Plinthóbolos, we remember you in our holy hour of rage, when liberation calls unassailably and the Pentheus cops of the world lower their boots to our necks; we laugh and spit defiance in your name. You are alive in the airborne shot glass.

Divine Auntie, Hip-Swisher, Cocksucker, No-Shit-Taker, be with us, I pray, as we sing your praises, taste your nectar, throw our heads back cackling and rub our hair in the dirt; your madness liberates us from the madness of the world, defends us on the battlefield of ideas, preserves our sacred flames.

Dionysos Eromenos, Beloved of Many, bless your tender children as we learn to make our way: if ever I have hailed you, ekstatic or kathartic, and offered up delight, longing, heartbreak, or shame; if ever I have braved the haze to walk the streets in cocky pride, shorts too short and shirt too tight, affronting Manly Truth; then bless me and bless us with confidence, with gentleness, with toughness and the boldness to thrive in a world that would brutalize wildflowers to preserve the sanctity of dry grass. Fruitful Dionysos, let me burst into seed.

#queer #Dionysos #devotional #prayers #gay #femininity #epithets #worked hard on this one #personal #there are so so so many inside gay jokes in this prayer please let me know if you find them #the double entendres are bountiful and deliberate #xoxoxo #hail #also begrudgingly tagging this #slurs

The Cat and the Bat

I decided I wanted to read some comics featuring Barbara Gordon so I headed to the good old internet for a reading list to find something interesting. In the first reading list I clicked on, I scrolled down until this little description for Batman: The Cat and the Bat, a storyline in Batman Confidential, caught my eye.

"Batgirl and Catwoman face off for a mysterious notebook. It’s a reasonably solid story by Fabian Nicieza and Kevin Maguire, but this book is LOADED with cheesecake art, which really isn’t the point of Batgirl. There’s a fight in a strip club at one point… and then they literally fight naked during an orgy? Far from all ages, and going to come across as tasteless to plenty."

Well, that all sounded delightful to me, so I read it, and it didn't disappoint! Anyway, you should definitely read it because it has some very funny moments. For my summary of the story, keep reading!

So this is issue #17 of Batman Confidential, and to start off we see that Barbara has "borrowed" (stolen) her father's private notebook on crime and is trying to crack the code, but she sets it down for a moment and when she comes back...

...it's missing!

We find out that Barbara has only been an official member of the Batfamily for three weeks. She gives chase to the thief who stole the notebook, and as you might have guessed, it's Catwoman. Why pit two bad bitches against each other, you might ask? So we can get delightfully snarky dialogue like this

Batgirl intercepts, Catwoman runs, Batgirl chases...

...right into a hedonist society, and they won't let her in unless she meets the dress code.

(Bruce would totally get naked to infiltrate a strip club, especially if Catwoman is involved.) So she gets naked, because she really wants to get the notebook back from Selina. Perhaps because she's only been an official bat for a short time, she feels like she has something to prove? I don't know.

Moving on to issue #18, Barbara gets into the club amongst all the other sweaty, naked orgy attendees, and she is Not Happy about it.

Selina is talking to some Russian guy about the notebook. Barbara takes the notebook back from Selina and fights her on the way out of the club. She ends up in a junkyard where Selina finds her yet again. I love how alike they are in their hatred of each other, we love a mutual dislike💞

Barbara drops the notebook. Suddenly, someone shoots at them! They both try to find the notebook, fight over it, and then, bam! Catwoman gets shot, just as she reveals that she needs the notebook to save someone's life!

Issue #19 opens with a fight between the girls and the guy who was shooting at them, Anatoly Davidovitch.

He's like, super strong. During the fight, he gets custody of the notebook (it trades hands a lot) and runs off. Catwoman and Batgirl have a little heart-to-heart and Catwoman reveals why she wanted the notebook.

Catwoman and Batgirl agree to help each other and head off to get back the notebook and save the girl. They fight the mafia guys in the attempt but it doesn't go well, and Vassily Davidovitch (who is the leader of that particular faction of the Russian mob) and his men leave with both the girl and the notebook and blow the building up behind them. Catwoman and Batgirl barely survive, and they're just scraping themselves up off the ground when Batman shows up, to Batgirl's dismay.

Not a good look, Babs.

So in issue #20, Batgirl and Catwoman explain what's been going on to Batman. Batman and Batgirl get in the Batmobile and head for the warehouse at the docks where Davidovitch is operating out of. They wait on the rooftop, watching, and who should show up but the Riddler, to decipher the notebook for Vassily, in return for the contents of a mysterious suitcase. Before Riddler can fully decode the notebook, Catwoman bursts into the warehouse to rescue her friend.

Batgirl wants to jump in to help her, but Batman keeps telling her to wait. Eventually, Batgirl refuses to wait any longer and jumps in to help Catwoman fight Anatoly. I really liked this section because Batgirl is like 'Batman's gonna be mad but I'm going to do my own thing anyway" and honestly good for her.

Catwoman grabs her friend and leaves Batgirl on her own, and Batgirl is basically getting her ass handed to her when Batman steps in and one-punch K.O.'s Anatoly. Batman and Batgirl split up, with Batman going after Vassily and the suitcase and Batgirl going after the Riddler and the notebook. She follows the Riddler to Arkham Asylum, where he locks her in with some of the inmates.

Issue #21 is the final part in this story. Batgirl battles her way through Arkham to get to where Riddler is holed up in the control room. It's got some pretty cool moments where Babs uses her smarts to win, only when she finally gets to the control room Catwoman has beat her there and knocked the Riddler out.

Poor Babs. She does get her dad's notebook back, though. We do get this moment where Batman gets Catwoman to admit how cool Batgirl is, which was awfully sweet of our dear emotionally-repressed goth boy, so kudos to him.

And that's it! If you like seeing Babs chase Catwoman halfway across Gotham, have a naked fight in an orgy, and outsmart the Riddler, then this is the story for you. It's very entertaining. Also, I'm not sure what 'cheesecake art' is, but I thought the art was just fine and fit the tone of the story pretty well.

Hippolyta’s War belt

Hippolyta, (huh-paa-luh-tuh) the next Amazon queen in succession, was the offspring of Ares and Oretra. Her father Ares admired his daughters ferocity and battle skills, and gifted her a magic Zoster (war belt) which gave her superhuman strength, and signified her superiority, and role as leader of the Amazons.

Hippolyta and her sacred war belt appear in Hercules tales, in his 9th labor. According to Appollodorus’ Library (1st-2nd century AD) Hercules, being born from Zeus’s infidelity, was despised by Hera. As punishment, the goddess drove the hero mad, whereby he mistakenly killed his family in a fit of rage. Seeking atonement, he ventured to the Oracle of Delphi, where the Pythia (oracle) told him to serve Eurystheus for 12 years and perform the 10 tasks imposed upon him. For His 9th labor, the king sent Hercules to retrieve Hippolyta’s war belt for the king’s daughter Admeta desired it.

Hercules, and a ship of heroes venture to the city of the Amazons, Themiscyra, on the river Thermodon. Putting in at harbor, the Amazons greet the ship and Queen Hippolyta comes aboard to parlay. Hercules explains his labor quest and intentions, and because Hippolyta reveres the man, she agrees to freely offer the war belt as a gift. But Hercules’ enemy, the goddess Hera, is displeased with this camaraderie. She transforms into an Amazon warrior, and slithers through the ranks of the women warriors, spreading a rumor that Hercules has come to kidnap the Queen. Fearing for their leader, the Amazons rush the ship to retrieve her, and Hercules, suspecting treachery, assumes he has been betrayed. He kills Hippolyta, takes her belt, and after fighting off the Amazons, casts off, sailing away.

As usual with ancient myths, there are further variations on Hippolyta’s myth placing either her or her sister Antiope as a conquest of Theseus, who, again, depending on the version, either seduces or abducts her and takes her back to Athens to wed, ultimately resulting in Amazons sailing to invade Athens in the Attic War,one of a few examples of an Amazonomachy (Amazon battle) found in Ancient Greek myth and art.For the sake of clarity in the Theseus myth, I’ll be following the Antiope version, as shown in the following pages.
