what she says: Merry Christmas!

what she means: the Biblical account the nativity is riddled with errors about the history of the Roman Empire and this holiday is built upon the cultural spoliation of Saturnalia and Yule but I'm not going to bring that up and inject bitterness into a gentle, carefree holiday centered around family and gift-giving because I love you.

for a whole I was incapable of writing a cursive a because I’d always write alpha

Lol.

“Ukip donor Arron Banks has taken the bold step of challenging Cambridge University classicist Mary Beard on her knowledge of Roman history, citing his schoolboy studies and Russell Crowe Hollywood epic Gladiator! as his sources. Beard - a professor of classics and a fellow of Newnham College since 1984 who has produced multiple series on Rome for the BBC - is one of Britain’s best-known scholars. The university don clearly felt she had to intervene on Twitter when Banks - the multi-millionaire diamond mine-owning insurance tycoon who has bankrolled Ukip and played a key role in Brexit - started to link the fall of the Roman Empire with troubles affecting the European Union.”

Ich bin über die Figur der Diotima auf das Thema gekommen, also die Frau, die aus dem Oikos - und damit ihrer gesellschaftlichen “Sphäre” - tritt. Ich vertrete die Meinung, dass Platon durch die zwei Gespräche Agathon/Sokrates und Sokrates/Diotima zum einen die Lobrede als patriarchale Form und das Patriarchat selbst in dem Werk kritisiert - gleichzeitig ist der gesamte Dialog natürlich noch ein Angriff auf die Sophisten.

Hi, I'm a student of Philosophy from German and I'm currently working on an essai concerning gender in Plato's Symposion. Do you have any recommendations on this topic?

i don’t wanna give too much away, but you might want to look at the part where aristophanes talks about why people seek out their other half (in the literal sense). there’s some good stuff in there about greek patriarchy and love of manliness

a handful of my favorite ancient greek words

φιλαμαρτήμων: loving sin

κυνογαμία: dog-wedding

σιτόκουρος: doing nothing but eating bread

ἀλλοτριοφαγέω: eat another’s bread

θεομαχέω: fight against the god’s

κατασκέλλομαι: become a skeleton

ancient politicians who would still make better presidents than donald trump

clodius pulcher: mostly loved to cause a ruckus. notorious cross-dresser and prince-stealer

cicero: spent most of his political career insulting people he didn’t like (see mark antony). was so proud of saving the republic that he wrote two epic poems about how great he is

julius caesar: gained power by beating the shit out of his opponents but at least tried to help the poor. once received a sext from his girlfriend in the middle of a senate meeting which was then angrily read by said girlfriend’s half-brother who thought it was evidence that he was participating in a conspiracy

cato the elder: main political achievement that he is remembered for was screaming that carthage must be destroyed at the end of every speech

didius julianus: purchased the roman empire at an auction and was later executed for being useless

mark antony: frat boy politician well-known for wearing the ancient equivalent of booty shorts and coming to political meetings hungover

pupienus: ruled for three months before being assassinated by the praetorian guard. name is pronounced “poopy anus”
