benefits of learning latin

reading classical roman texts in original latin <3

it's so much easier to learn romance languages <3

be able to read latin inscriptions in medieval paintings <3

writing your journal entries in a dead language so no one will find out about the farmer you killed in the woods

understanding etymology and root words <3

i just think the difference is funny (plus new hermes design!!!)

do you ever just ┻⁠┻⁠︵⁠¯⁠\⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠/⁠¯⁠︵⁠┻⁠┻

Why don't we have more content of Ody being a troll ?

i love to read a character's stoicism as awkwardness. yeah your posture is great and you're mysteriously surveying the scene but it's because you're stiff af and don't know how to approach anyone, right?

just finished a few seconds ago...

anyone else finish the secret history and just feel completely numb???

Going on an adventure at Anakt Garden ~~

hey so i Fully Believe that telemachus was not afraid of odysseus in Hold Them Down

people may have told him stories of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, Athena's chosen Champion, Hero of Troy

but mama's boy telemachus sat by her feet as she wove tapestry after tapestry; and penelope told her little wolf stories of his father

how they met, how he tripped over himself to woo her, how he cried his eyes out when penelope became pregnant, how telemachus wouldn't sleep in his cot as a baby because he was so used to being in his father's arms because odysseus would not put him down; and yes, how viciously he defended their family when the atrides came to retrieve him for the war

telemachus? the child of the Unhinged Power Couple? who knew very well how horrible those suitors were, how they treated him and spoke of his mother?

took one look at his dad viciously protecting their home, their family, and thought he was the coolest, strongest person ever (after mom ofc)
