I set up my vintage 80's synth for the first time in ages to play a little and the first thing my cat did was step on the Mount St. Helens button, but at least I got to watch his horrified little kitty face as an apocalyptic fart cloud descended upon my living room.

Ἕκτωρ δ᾽ ὡς Σκαιάς τε πύλας καὶ φηγὸν ἵκανεν, ἀμφ᾽ ἄρα μιν Τρώων ἄλοχοι θέον ἠδὲ θύγατρες εἰρόμεναι παῖδάς τε κασιγνήτους τε ἔτας τε καὶ πόσιας: ὃ δ᾽ ἔπειτα θεοῖς εὔχεσθαι ἀνώγει πάσας ἑξείης: πολλῇσι δὲ κήδε᾽ ἐφῆπτο.

funniest language thing in modern greek is that the word for baby/infant is “moro” which literally means “idiot.” like someone looked at a baby 1000 years ago and was like “this guy doesnt know shit.”

tumblr’s exactly like an ancient forum. It’s just a bunch of people in robes sitting around saying shit like “Cannibalism… is equal to Sexual inter-course” and another guy disagrees and goes “Not true; however Plushies get hurt when you throw them off the bed as they have Souls” and everyone nods and that’s the accepted metaphysical truth for the next few days

I love two things: classicists giving their papers dumb titles and OCR trained on the Latin alphabet trying to interpret polytonic Greek orthography.

On this day, JSTOR has provided me with both.

Thx, JSTOR.

Wait wait this is random but I need to share our library’s old Ancient Greek polytonic typewriter for before the average PC could handle polytonic Greek

The moment I learn how to type polytonic greek on this app its over for you bitches. I've read two pages of the Odyssey and learned 80+ boat metaphors and they all need to come out.
