Laestrygonians, arriving immediately: who hurt you bro??
Polyphemus: IT WAS NOBODY!!!

I've come to dislike how non Greeks (most likely native English speakers because I've seen this happening mostly by them, but of course they're not the only ones) who have taken like 1 or 2 years of Greek or Ancient Greek at university, carry themselves as they've now become very educated on the language and the culture as well, and they're treated as such by everyone!
Like, I believe Tom Hiddleston claims to speak Ancient Greek, or maybe others have claimed that for him but, my dude, the Erasmian pronunciation is wrong.
And just last night, I finished Stephen Fry's book called Mythos and in the end, there is a guide on how to pronounce the names which can be limited to "Just do it the way it's easier for you, Greeks do it their way, Brits and Americans do it their way, there is no correct answer." No. I've been taking English lessons since I was 3, but still mispronounce and mispell a lot of stuff. You don't see me coming and making comments on the correct way to speak English, so maybe don't comment on the correct way to speak Greek, since you're not a native speaker.
And last but not least, dishonorable mention to the author Monica Gutierrez, who in one of her books, through a character that, if I'm not mistaken, is an archaeologist, says that the Parthenon Marbles that were stolen from us and are currently in the British museum don't have to return to Greece, because 'they belong to the whole world'. They belong to the whole world, but they were made here, and I, a Greek person, have to buy a ticket to England in order to see them, because a British smuggler got the permission to take them away, by the people who had us enslaved for 4 centuries. And to this day, the British keep on using stupid excuses because they don't want to give them back!
And yet, those are the people whose voices and work will get picked over the work of actual native people. For example, there is a Greek youtuber that is an archaeologist and makes videos about mythology (sometimes he does videos on Scandinavian and Egyptian mythologies too, I hope those are accurate) and ancient art and he has just released a book. I highly doubt his book will get picked by publishers, to get translated in other languages and be released outside of Greece, even though I encourage you to check him out.
I don't claim that this happens only to Greek people/language/culture, but it's the only one I can comment on ☺

Gods: But he's not a huberous trouble maker anymore, he's a warrior fit for the gods, we fixed him up ^^
Diomedes: You ruined my perfectly good best friend is what you did! Look!
Diomedes: Hey Odysseus
Odysseus: Hm..?
Diomedes: I'ma place this bag of winds here, whatever you do, *don't* open it
Odysseus: Oh- okay
*Time passes*
Diomedes: See!? It's been hours and he hasn't even glanced at it! The old carefree Odysseus would've gotten curious and opened it anyway, done something stupid, and do a random backflip to try to distract me from the fact he opened the bag!
Gods: I mean.. he still does most of those things anyway-
Diomedes: That's not the point!

The Virgin Athenian Woman vs. The Chad Minoan Maiden
Tumblr media
Did this thing for funsies comparing Athenian and Minoan women. At least the Minoan women win, ‘cause they’re strong and empowered, haha.
