#but not translated to greek

[pretentious-clownery]

i would literally sell my soul to whatever demon like god there is to have a greek movie made on the song of achilles

#listen the book is great in english but that gives too many white straight girls to feteshize their relationship #also in general i would love to see mythology adaptations in greek #but not translated to greek #like actually made in greek and shot it greece and all that #i think it’d be cool #anyway #the song of achilles #achilles and patroclus #patrochilles #and y’know what FUCK IT TAGGING IT IN GREEK #αχιλλέας και πατροκλος #το τραγούδι του αχιλλέα

Translation of the Greek in WWDITS s5e2

Since there wasn't any translation of the Greek spoken while Nadja, Colin and the Guide went to "Little Antipaxos", I figured I'd make this post so everyone can laugh along with me xD

Nadja: *finds the photo of an old woman*

yiayia Nikia - grandma Nikia

*while walking down the street market*

Nadja: ti kanete? - how are you?

yia sas! - hello!

kalinychta! - good night!

*during the interview*

Nadja: apistefto! - unbelievable!

*back to walking down the street*

Nadja: souvlaki & stifado - popular greek meat dishes

*while saying greeks stole souvlaki from antipaxos (which lmao bc it's a greek island) and turning to the vendor*

Nadja: neh? - yes?

vendor: neh - yes (probably not understanding what she was talking about)

*after slapping Colin for not telling her earlier about that place*

Nadja: palio arxidi! - (roughly translated to) f*cking as*hole!

(literal translation) old testicle! (lol)

*when discovering the diner*

Nadja: a shitty diner like my thia used to run! thia - aunt

*in the diner*

man: sou leo.. - I tell you..

grandma *slapping the man with a dish cloth*:

ante mi sou.. - (roughly translated to) don't make me..

[meaning don't make me curse/say something bad]

['ante' is informal (meaning 'come on') and we use it when we want to urge someone to do something]

younger man: afto einai savvatobrado yia 'sena!

- this is a saturday night for you!

Nadja *after Guide asks what they said*:

nomizi oti milame yi' aftin. poli typical s'aftin tin chora.

- she believes we speak about her. very typical in this country.

Nadja *after explaining to Guide what the writing says*:

sosta? - right?

grandma: poli sosta! - very right!

hope that helps @pudumephistophiles :)

SHAUNA SHIPMAN: AN ORESTEIA

#yes everything is about greek tragedies to me what about it #shauna is literally The Epitome of Tragedy i cannot stress this enough #her whole life is drenched in grief #and shame and loss and guilt #THE DESPAIR #what's that quote by khaled hosseini?? #about if you had just opened your mouth and said something at that one pivotal moment your whole life might have turned out different?? #but you didn't say something?? you stayed silent instead?? #also richard siken's someone has to leave first quote that everyone on this hellsite should know by heart <3 #That is the Epitome of Tragedy thank u mr hosseini #thank u mr siken #the inevitability of it all. the inescapability. what if you just - #but you didn't. you didn't and that is why you suffer #anyways i was too lazy to find more quotes so these excerpts are from both anne carson's translation of the oresteia #and robert icke's extraordinary modern-day production of the greek tragedy #shauna shipman #shauna x jackie #yellowjackets #parallels #web weaving

λέγουσι δ᾽ ὥς τις εἰσελήλυθε ξένος, γόης ἐπῳδὸς Λυδίας ἀπὸ χθονός, ξανθοῖσι βοστρύχοισιν εὐοσμῶν κόμην, οἰνῶπας ὄσσοις χάριτας Ἀφροδίτης ἔχων... - And they say that some foreigner has arrived, a sorcerer, an enchanter from the land of Lydia, with sweet-smelling hair in tawny curls, the wine-dark charms of Aphrodite in his eyes...

I love the fact that Atreus just instinctively knows how to speak dead and forgotten languages but the moment Kratos says one word in Greek he's just here like

#He can speak a language which is only used by a giant snake and translate words carved into an ancient mask of unknown origin #but he is bested by the word humid in greek #I love this kid #that's so funny #god of war #gow #god of war ragnarok #gowr #atreus

This excerpt from The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley by Thomas Medwin is KILLING me.

Medwin was Shelley's cousin; he knew Shelley and Byron and their circle, and later fabricated much of what he wrote about them, to the hatred of Mrs. Shelley. However, considering Shelley's frequent complaints even in letters of his complex jealousy toward Byron (and subsequent guilt for it), and considering Shelley's dramatic use of language, I can completely imagine him going on heated rants about "the Byronic Energy." That's so him. This is the same dude who wrote a poem for Byron starting with the lines "If I esteemed you less, Envy would kill / Pleasure" and ending with the lines "the worm beneath the sod / May lift itself in worship to the God" like ummm! . . . bro was enchanted . . . the Byronic Energy really did take his powers . . .
