ClassicsTober Day 5: Chiron

wish the piraeus archaeological museum had a public catalog but hey everyone check out this c. 420-410 funerary stele from salamis with a tragic actor staring at his mask

almost a week of school left i am doing it for him.

This Etruscan mirror of Athena and Ajax is amazing because it’s a uniquely Etruscan conception of the myth where Athena literally urges Ajax to commit suicide rather than simply driving him mad. Today I got to see it in person at the Boston Museum Of Fine Art!

Zeus by Romain de Tirtoff (“Erté”) (1981)

Clytemnestra for @lesbiancassius (my part of the trade for an incredible alcibiades/socrates fic ;__;)

mycenaean miku

she was there singing on the beaches of llion. homer copied the catalogue of ships from her.

i'm sorry (not) to people who know me irl

thinking of King Priam's grief, watching Teucer, the child of the sister who was stolen from him and Troy all those years ago, the sister who he has longed for all these years, stand against him and his children during the trojan war
