Cicero really said "While you were studying the blade, I was studying literature"

Odysseus and Achilles are much more similar than I think many people give them credit for. Of course, Achilles is primarily known for his strength while Odysseus is known for his intellect, but many of their primary actions come from the exact same source: love and pride. Achilles goes to war due to his pride, while Odysseus doesn’t want to go to war due to his love for his family. However, it is that deep love that makes the two so alike. When Patroklos dies, Achilles loses everything, and gets rid of all sense of morality due to a suicidal rage that, after avenging his lover, will reunite the two of them. Odysseus goes through something very similar, though to a lesser extent. His “Death of Patroklos” moment occurs the second he sails to Troy. In a way, Odysseus loses everything the moment he leaves Ithaka, and strips himself of his morality in order to return as quickly as he possibly can.

Odysseus’ rage is not all-encompassing or out of control like Achilles’ it is careful, quiet, and hidden just as he is. His rage, however, much like Achilles’ takes over him once he sees the suitors to his wife (I suppose we could say that the suitors would be the “Hektor” in Odysseus’ case). One could say Odysseus’ rage is more of a slow burn while Achilles’ is a flame that quickly burns out its source. Regardless, the two protagonists of Homer's epics are far more similar than they seem.

in today's letter: brutus is so excited to hear about the consuls! he does not know that they have both died! brutus thinks assassinating caesar was fine but draws a line at executing gaius antonius without a trial! he thinks cicero is getting too ahead of himself! and it is fingers in his lacunae wednesday!

Shoutout to Nabis of Sparta, who got rich people to pay more taxes by asking them, and then offering them his wife. Except it wasn't actually his wife, it was a robot that looked exactly like his wife that killed people by shooting nails out of its boobs when hugged (Polybius 13.7.6)

in today's letter: decimus brutus continues to list his woes! his woes have prevented him from catching up with antony! he seems to be spying on antony succesfully! antony tries to attack pollentia, but decimus gets there first! e.s. shuckburgh and shackleton bailey battle in a footnote! and the end of the letter is fragme[...]

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?

#tagamemnon #fischteller #can you fucking imagine? #like other painters trying to explain to him that fish don’t have eyebrows #and he’s just like ‘fuck you all at least my fish have SOULS.’ #and people bought them??? #other people were also like ‘FUCK YEAH EYEBROW FISH!!!’ #other people like me. #I would 100000% buy the eyebrow fish
