Some awesome Quotes from Greek Myth for your amusement.
Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound (Hermes)
"I speak to you - the master-mind, with heart more sour
Than sourness ; you who honoured creatures of a day
And sinned against immortals; you, the thief of fire:
The Father bids you tell him what this marriage is
Through which you boast that he shall fall from power. Now speak
No clever riddles, but set forth the detailed truth.
Do not, Prometheus, make me travel all this way
Again; Zeus is not mollified by such replies."
Homer, Iliad 5
"But Herakles' son Tlepolemos the huge and mighty
was driven by his strong destiny against godlike Sarpedon.
Now as these in their advance had come close together,
the own son, and the son's son of Zeus cloud-gathering,
it was Tlepolemos of the two who spoke the first word:
'Man of counsel of the Lykians, Sarpedon, why must you
be skulking here, you who are a man unskilled in the fighting?
They are liars who call you issue of Zeus, the holder
of the aegis, since you fall far short in truth of the others
who were begotten of Zeus in the generations before us:
such men as, they say, was the great strength of Herakles,
my own father, of the daring spirit, the heart of a lion:
he came here on a time for the sake of Laomedon's horses,
with six vessels only and the few men needed to man them,
and widowed the streets of Ilion and sacked the city;
but yours is the heart of a coward and your people are dying."
One day, overconfidence will be the death of me. I half expect that this death will come about on Thursday at around 2pm. Not that I feel concerned about it or anything, but I think my overwhelming sense of comfort will somehow anger the Irony Gods, who will exact great and fiery vengeance upon me. Oh yes, I believe in the Irony Gods. It's not so much a system of worship as a system of cautious observance.
On the other hand, I'm more than confident that I can handle anything that History throws at me... seeing as I know exactly what it is going to throw at me, save for Section C, but I have my suspicions about that. All the sources are from the Document Reader, and we know what they're going to be about, we only have to analyse two. So, I'm just reading all the sources on Marco Polo, and everything by Leonardi Bruni. The funny thing is, if memory serves, is that there is only one source by Leonardi Bruni in the Reader
Hahh. But I'm still gonna go study.
I love this icon.
I was way too amused by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drayke_'s daily WTF #3. I'm not sure why. I think it's definately Ocean Madness.
If I keep adding page breaks, maybe something magical will happen. Like a lynching (of me).
Daniel Johns still has a pretty voice. Pretty may not be the most flattering word I suppose, but it is true.
