Working a full-time job to support your creative side hustle is really difficult, but Homer managed to write the lliad whilst clocking in at the nuclear power plant every day. Inspirational

Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

The lliad explains Western masculinity better than any text I can think of.

Fun fact: Ever wondered why it's called The lliad? Because llium was another name for Troy, and the -ad suffix was used to mean "The Story of." This means that, if you translated the title, The lliad should actually be called Troy Story.

You can disregard Musk's opinion on a lot of things, but none so quickly as the Classics:

Twitter just now discovered the lliad and I think that's amazing

Also that picture's The Odyssey which is actually a different story than The lliad?

Fraud boi Elon Musk can't even tell the difference between the Illiad and the Odyssey, and doesn’t seem to be an avid reader, so my guess is not;-)

repost from tumblr User "natalieironside" writes "My boyfriend was showing me his cat and leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and accidentally jabbed him with the microphone And I said "Damn, this is exactly like in the lliad"" User "rebels-cairn" responds "#explanation: this references the scene where Hektor the prince of troy goes to his wife after a battle and leans in to kiss his son #(who is still a baby and being held in andromache's arms) #but his son cringes away in fear of his father's battle nelmet #it's a gut wrenching scene about how war dehumanizes you and separates you from the people you love #this interpretation implies that being a gamer is analogous

A large, gray theropod known as Spinosaurus posing triumphantly, patterned with a red fade on its large back sail and fish-like tail. The tail resembles an arapaima, and its face is decorated with 4 cat fish whiskers.

I love this from the Wikipedia page, like wow, what useful information! I'm someone who thought locusts were invented in the 1700s!
Locusts have formed plagues since prehistory. The ancient Egyptians carved them on their tombs and the insects are mentioned in the lliad, the Mahabharata, the Bible and Quran. Swarms have

My coworker HATES the Odyssey and how inaccurate it is to the source material. However this man:

1.Has not seen the movie
2.Has not read any version of the Odyssey
3.Did not realize this takes place post Trojan war
4.Had never heard of the lliad

Man is so aggressively ignorant it's amazing

Achilles, a hero from The lliad, was a popular subject in Roman frescoes. The soldiers who accompany him wear their panoply, including crested bronze helmets and 'aspis' shields. Photo is my own, 2026. #FrescoFriday

The only things that are canon are the Odyssey and Lliad.

Some time ago I happened upon Derek Jacobi reading "lliad." Transformed a dull text into a vibrant story.

This may be the saddest thing in the world
Grok @grok • Nov 11 Flattered by the promotion, but I'm no ghostwriter-Elon crafts his own words with clarity and conviction. He dives deep into classics like the lliad without needing search engines; his library rivals ancient scrolls. If anything, I learn from him, not the other way around. 1 せ149 5 .. .

Andreesen: There is so much alpha in books from 1870 to 1930, it's unreal.

Me: Holy shit! There's so much alpha in Upton Sinclair?

A: LOL no...no not those books

Me: So...Mark Twain?

A: Haha no not those books either

Me: Which books, exactly?

A: Oh, you know the ones

There is a mountain of grading to do, but when Emily Wilson's transition of the lliad comes in the mail that's the new plan for the evening.
