Thank you! (:

@ i would be great if you could do the Story of Wenamun

@egyptian_revival i'll look into it! (:

@@zaireeto it’s a funny story because it’s shows how Egyptian saw them selfs as more special compared to other people and because wenamun wants to get wood from the king of Byblos for free because he is Egyptian ……..the king refuses and wenamun starts crying …….this shows how the power of Egypt was fading in the later periods

Yup definitely People sometimes leave them out, but I haven't seen pettier gods (affectionate) Happy late new year to you too! (:

I think she can be both counted as goddess or disease, but also of war and destruction, which would fit into this? Gods usually have multiple aspects then

Oh yeah! :D

Thank you! With old stories, you kind of have to accept that most were terrible people, but they are fun to read about :')

Thank you! (:

I agree! Definitely one of my favourites for him because of this reason Sadly :( i am still hoping we may find something in the future either in Egypt (like the recent Euripides fragments) or by reading the scrolls from Herculaneum (as far as I know the person who owned the library favoured one specific philisopher above all else, but here is to hoping :'))

but isnt the message of this play that you cant disrepect the gods? doesnt seem really out of character for aeschylus. of course we sympathize with prometheus but at the end of the day he is suffering this punishment and i feel like the audience in those times would take this as a warning to respect the gods at all times cause they can just imprison Prometheus (the powerful titan that gave humans knowledge) and make him suffer

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

Thank you so much!! This is so sweet ❤️❤️

Oh that is really cool! I didn't know. In my language we localise it ro Niob and Tantal and I just never connected the dots :D Thank you! <3

Muchas Gracias <3

She has a reason to boast :D

@zaireeto it really does do a lot to explain where her hubris comes from!

Hubris and 0 wisdom go well together :') Oh yes i have read the suppliants! May make a video about them eventually

@@zaireeto "The Suppliants" is an interesting play. Of all the Greek tragedies that have reached us, it's the only one where the chorus plays the protagonists (in "The Eumenides", it plays the antagonists, but the rest of the time, it does little but comment on the action). Unfortunately, "The Suppliants" must have been the first part of a trilogy and the rest is lost to us.

Thank you!! <3

🥳🥳

@zaireeto thank you

He just can't keep his lovers alive :')

Krakonoš sounds cooler!! And oh my, thank you so much!! 😳❤️ I am a terrible singer tho hahah

Can't :')

@@zaireeto I can't prove they are. Guess we don't know for sure. I have seen some pretty good evidences for phenomena like remote viewing and some for reincarnation, so survival of bodily death is not completely out of the realm of possibilities. If a soul of any sort exists, it might be associated with the physical processes that keep the body from decomposing, its at least plausible that one could feed off energy during the night and return to their body at day to regenerate it. It's interesting how a seemingly unrelated culture came up with poltergeist activities to describe vampiric mischief. Maybe it's because all around the world wind can slam doors or animals/people can create mess and blame it on spirits, or maybe there is something more to it. The moving of thumb thing was very interesting when i heard it, i immediately linked it with sleep paralisis, as vampires are said to sit on ones chest while they sleep. It is said that vampires will spend about 40 days doing that and then will rise in flesh, they are basically spirits or shadows before that, which is why they can not go under the sun. People born on Saturday are said to be able to see vampires in their semi-ghostly state while they grow in power, since people born on Saturday are presumed to be concieved on a day when da deed is not to be done. Apparently by being a bit of an unfoly critter those people can see vampires. Many dogs are also conceived on that day tho, and apparently all wolves are, according to folklore. So they see vampires and pop them, since a vampire at that stage is basically a balloon of blood and the slightest puncture can kill it. Or, i guess, force it to restart from lv 1.

Agreed, Euripides is just overall a better read from todays stantards. But i can appreciate them both (both sit at my desk at the same bookpile :D)

:')

Yes! I love Medea so much - definitely the mosr fleshed out character in argonautica

Agreeed hahaha
