"We do not live in a world of heroes and villains, and if we believe we do, we should really consider the possibility that we haven't thought about things properly." - @nataliehaynes.bsky.social, "Pandora's Jar"

Apologize to Natalie, Right Now.
Model: Yumna

We're sorry, @nataliehaynes.bsky.social, but Yumna wanted a photo where she was casually tossing a book aside. All the others we had with us were old and fragile. Yours had already been chewed by my cat.

Another lesson from ancient mythology.

"Is there something in us which is drawn to doing the forbidden? Of course, or the story of Adam and Eve getting themselves booted out of the Garden of Eden wouldn't resonate as it does."

A good introductory look into women in mythology&our over simplification of them in modern society as well as the men who rewrote them Recommend for lovers of Greek myths or those intimidated by yesterday's rec #womenshistorymonth #womensbookrecs #feministbookrecs #pandorasjar #pandorasbox #booktok

As for #PandorasJar, I’ve just learned Gorgon heads (seem to) predate the Greek myths. As in they were stone carved heads found around the landscape - emphasis on HEADS. No body. So there’s a theory that the story of Perseus was made up to explain why the heads were separate from the body. #classics

I finished #pandorasjar today & - never happened before but - I was really struck by @nataliehaynes.bsky.social Acknowledgements. Her credit and praises (in her own voice, bc audio) struck me as so heartfelt. It gave one of those small feel good moments abt people & the world that are so needed rn.

So here I am with my brain starting to want to do things again so here I am reading again, #pandorasjar.

@nataliehaynes.bsky.social is pretty infallible but my only question is in her chapter about Penelope…
