i think i reached the most aesthetic part of my life because i have 24 hours of french every week and i also take roman greek mythology lessons and i read and read and read and go to little cute cafes to study and just dark academia and it rains a lot and academic validation and listening lots of classic music and lots of tea and it's so easy to pretend like i'm at a boarding school with a lot of secrets and poetry lessons.

"There was much simplicity in Antony's character. He was slow to see his faults, but when he did see them, he was extremely repentant and ready to ask pardon of those he had injured. He was severe in his punishments, but prodigal in his acts of reparation; and his generosity was much more extravagant than his severity. His banter or abuse, for example, was sharp and insulting, but the edge of it was dulled by his readiness to accept any kind of repartee, and he was as willing to be sworn at as he was to swear at others."

~ Plutarch's Life of Antony

sorry but i dont know how anyone can take dr ramani seriously why do so many ppl think shes credible just bc she has a youtube and a doctorate. i regret to inform you that even educated ppl can record themselves saying a bunch of bullshit and post it online for clout. she literally uses narcissism to describe any sort of behavior on earth. i can hardly get thru 5 minutes of her videos bc she is literally just saying "narcissists narcissism grandiose narcissist" over and over. if you made up a drinking game of this you would die within minutes. that is not information that is word salad

So you remember Mark Antony sneaking into Curio's house through the roof? Here's the best quote I've ever read about it.

Antony compromises the integrity of the household as an architectural unit.

HELP! I can't...

Antony compromises? The integrity? Of the household? As an architectural unit?? By sneaking in through the roof? To meet with Curio??? This is so funny to me I can't. Compromises the integrity of the household as an architectural unit, huh.

Actually, I think the entire chapter that quote came from is a work of art. Look at this part.

The scenario Cicero conjures up features plot elements of romantic New Comedy, suitably blackened, with the youthful libertine (Curio Junior) and his lover (Antony) running foul of Curio Senior, who, playing the strict father familiar from the comic stage, repeatedly chucks his son’s homeboy out of the house — to no avail.

TO NO AVAIL

Look what just came in!!!

I have to read my Classical Mythology textbook for my Classic Myth literature class, but I also get to read The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid!

This one looks so good and it came in a beautiful hardcover!

The Aeneid is, unfortunately, a paperback. There was a hardcover option, but this was the only option with, GET THIS, LATIN!

I'm so excited for this class!

Pharisees and Their Kin (Romans 3:9-20)

Pharisees and Their Kin (Romans 3:9-20)

Hi lovelies,

So, every couple of months to a year I reread my favourite book of all time- Hanya Yanigahara’s ‘A Little Life’. Honestly, if I could get a book tattooed on my brain, it would be this one. I reread it every time I’m particularly stressed and with results day coming up, well, I just finished my little reread. On a real note, I would not recommend it to anyone my age, and if you do choose to read it, please please check the trigger warnings very thoroughly.

One of the main characters in ‘A Little Life’ is an actor named Willem and one of the characters that he gets cast as is Odysseus. From this comes one of my favourite quotes in the whole book- “And tell me this: I must be absolutely sure. This place I’ve reached, is it truly Ithaca?”- as all around him, the apartment filled with light.” Leading off of that, I thought I would tell you all a little bit about the Greek Island of Ithaca.

Ithaca is, of course, known primarily for being the home of the hero Odysseus, and therefore, the plot of the Odyssey revolves around him trying to reach Ithaca again. Theories on the exact location of Homer’s Ithaca began to formulate around the 2nd century BC, but as is common with ancient epic and mythology, there is no singular agreement on where it really is. However, most people now a days accept that the contemporary island of Ithaca (one of the seven Ionian islands) is the Ithaca that Homer refers to.

The first traces of history on the Island can be traced back to prehistoric times. Remnants of houses and walls have been found, however, there isn’t enough evidence to provide a clear idea of what life would have looked like at the time. The actual kingdom of Ithaca (as suggested by Homer as well) allegedly reached its peak during the Mycenaean era (1500-1100 BC). The only problem with this information is that it is given to us through works of fiction and not archaeological excavation, and therefore its reliability can be seriously questioned.

Homer’s Ithaca presents itself as a place of high standards of living, rigid social structure, and a strong regional identity. The economy was based primarily off of agricultural life (most notably goat farming- as is mentioned several times in the Odyssey). Some historians also believe that the Mycenaean kingdom of Ithaca also encompassed some local neighbouring islands, but again there is no sound archaeological evidence to support this.

After the Dorian invasion of the 11th century BC, Ithaca declined and was absorbed by other Greek towns who were growing in power. Just a quick bit of extra history- the ‘Dorian Invasion’ is a concept created by historians to explain the collapse of pre-classical cultures and dialects, and their replacement by cultures and dialects that flourished in ‘Classical Greece’. It was named the ‘Dorian Invasion’ by ancient Greek writers at the time, as the Dorian was one of the four major ethnic groups into which the Greeks divided themselves (the other three were the Aeolians, the Achaeans, and the Ionians).

The most important town that arose from where Ithaca had previously been, was the town of Alacomenae (founded in Hellenistic times) and, in this town, coins were found with the name of Ithaca engraved on them as well as the supposed image of Odysseus. The ancient town of Ithaca is also mentioned by other ancient writers like Plutarch and, of course, modern writers like Yanigahara.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed learning a little bit about Ithaca. I’m going to go cry about results day again, but I hope you all have a lovely rest of your weekend <3

“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
