Guys, guys … the recitations of the Iliad and the Odyssey that I watched a few years ago are back online!! At two events, the Iliad and the Odyssey were read by a a row of actors, each of them reading between 5 - 30 minutes (and among them are some famous ones, too, like Ian McKellen and Stanley Tucci!). I already mentioned how amazing it is to be able to listen to these epics being read out loud.
They were taken down about 2 years ago but now they are back up again! You can find the Iliad here and the Odyssey here.
i have been irritating my twitter with my constant livetweeting of this game and then i realised “tumblr does, actually, still exist” so YOU ALL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT TOO
one thing i’ve noticed is a lot of people seem to have gotten pretty far in w/o having done as i did and immediately thrown all my ambrosia at achilles like the fucking nerd i am so for the record: it’s very worth it for this beautiful, gay content
“There should be a word for the microscopic spark of hope that you dare not entertain in case the mere act of acknowledging it will cause it to vanish, like trying to look at a photon. You can only sidle up to it, looking past it, walking past it, waiting for it to get big enough to face the world.”— Terry Pratchett - Mort (via aeshnacyanea2000)
