Commentary

A record of land holding at Pylos, which is one of the major topics of tablets. These specific holdings concern Sphagianes. This record is actually compiled from two separate records, since one of them was broken in half. Nevertheless, they are almost identical. This suggests that the tablets weren’t always in their final form and instead may have been drafts.

Pa-ki-ja-ni-ja – Sphagiania. An adjective based on Sphagianes. Could be almost anything? Could be dative-locative.

to-sa – tossai – “so many.” Agreeing with da-ma-te. From *tot-yos.

da-ma-te – damartes – “households.” Feminine plural, built to a stem *dom-, related to buildings, houses, etc. Related to δαμαρ? A catch all term for the telestai and their tenants.

Te-re-ta – telestai – “service men?” τελος – “service” – and -ter agent suffix. These are high ranking officials. There are 13 recorded in the En series, but we would expect 14 given this tablet’s introduction. Where is our missing telestas?

e-ne-e-si – en-ehensi – “they are in.” 3rd person plural present tense of ἐνειμί < *h1es-enti.

wa-na-ta-jo-jo – Warnataioio. Genitive of a man’s name. Presumably one of the telestai. He also appears later in this tablet, as a tenant on another telastas’ land.

ko-to-na ki-ti-me-na – “settled land / private land.” There is a separate series about ko-to-na ke-ke-me-na, which is not associated with the telestai, and is held pa-ro da-mo.

pe-mo – spermo – “seed.” pe-mo/pe-ma alternation suggests a syllabic m ending?

o-da-a2 – ho-d’-aha. A complex particle introducing the paragraph. Equivalent to ὡς – δ’-ἄρα. “Moreover” is probably the best translation.

o-na-te-re – onateres – “leaseholders.” Agent noun describing a person that holds an o-na-to, a type of lease. The priestess argues in a later tablet that she has a different lease, but she in fact has o-na-to.

e-ko-si – hekhosi – “they hold.” From ἔχω.

e-te-do-mo , wa-na-ka-te-ro – wanakteros – “the royal e-te-do-mo.” Does e-te-do-mo have something to do with building?

Not "spermologos" wrongly translated by christians as "sower of words", when it should be "collecter of seed" (spermo + logos < logein (to collect)). Kinda love this old silly mistranslation and Augustinus seems to love the new translation too

So lemme get this straight

Tumblr has not only gone and killed several tumblr blogs for posting nsfw content, leaving everyone in fear if they'll get purged next.

But they've also went and COMPLETELY BLOCKED NSFW CONTENT FROM BEING VISABLE.

I can't stress enough how poor of a desistion this is. I can understand tumblr's desire to try to have this site be "family friendly", whether it would be through deleting porn bots, or even integrating a filter system that turns on automatically.

But to get rid of several blogs depicting lewd art, and leaving whatever nsfw artists are left to basically be inaccessible to anyone, is just plain offensive.

If you want to keep the sfw and nsfw users separate, I get that, I don't have a problem with that mindset. But to want to keep nsfw users separate from OTHER NSFW USERS?

I get they just lost their presence on the iOS app store, and want to remedy the reason they were pulled in the first place. But this has quickly turned from tumblr trying to make the site more user-friendly, into tumblr basically slamming an "anti-nsfw" panic button, and it's extremely frustrating.

What I'm trying to say here is, tumblr is taking very unnecessary and hasty actions against anybody who enjoys content that is not-safe-for-work, while failing to realize that a VERY large number of their users look at this kind of content, and personally I just hope none of these new "improvements" to the site are permanent.

Tl;dr: Tumblr's panicking about lewd stuff and they need to calm down.

Rant over.

mythology aesthetics

THE OENOTROPAE

In Greek mythology, the Oenotropae were Spermo, goddess of grain; Oeno, goddess of wine; and Elais, goddess of oil. Their great-grandfather was Dionysus, and he gave them the power to change water into wine, grass into wheat, and berries into olives. For this reason no one around them ever had to starve. According to other sources, however, the daughters were devotees of Dionysus, and the god rewarded them with the extraordinary ability to produce oil, corn, and wine from the ground or merely by touch. When the Greek fleet set out to make war in Troy, it was the Oenotropae who stocked their ships, and Agamemnon was so impressed with this that he abducted them in order to feed the Greek army. The daughters escaped, but were recaptured. As they were about to be bound, Dionysus saved them by turning them into white doves.
