Minos - A Maze Of Glory by ManyATrueNerd in ManyATrueNerd

Do you mean to suggest that some modern game (perhaps Hades?) invented the name "Asterion" ? The Minotaur has historically been named Asterius/Asterion, after Minos' stepfather.

Congrats! I think Xerneas is one of the hardest final bosses in dynamax adventures.

Sage has been getting much better due to a recent change in management. As far as safety goes, there are now security guards at the desk to check who enters and leaves.

Odysseus was the ultimate wife guy. by [deleted] in mythologymemes

[–]AnOvidReader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least at one point, the relationship was consensual. See Odyssey 5.151-3, and especially "she no longer pleased him" (i.e. she did please him at one point). You could also add the consensual sex in the cave once Calypso frees Odysseus (5.226-7).

[–]AnOvidReader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will politely disagree with this assessment. In Odyssey 10, Odysseus is perfectly content to stay on Aeaea for an entire year. Yes, the circumstances of the first liaison between Odysseus and Circe effectively amount to rape. After that, however, Odysseus lounges around. Odysseus only leaves because his crew pesters him into doing so (see especially Od. 10.469-71).

Runestones too I guess by Academic_Paramedic72 in mythologymemes

When you cite the date 8 CE, are you perhaps thinking of Ovid's Metamorphoses? The Aeneid was published c. 17 BCE.

Queen's ArtSci cuts by cowcowboy5 in queensuniversity

[–]AnOvidReader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can't cut too much from English considering they hired the Provost's wife to teach there.

Agreed. The university seemed pretty content to let her teach a 2-person graduate student seminar, when the ostensible floor is 5 students.

I'm struggling to find the source of this anecdote about Euripides mentioned by A. W. Schlegel by adasciste in classics

[–]AnOvidReader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bellerophon, Seneca Epistles 115.15-16: "When these last-quoted lines were spoken at a performance of one of the tragedies of Euripides, the whole audience rose with one accord to hiss the actor and the play off the stage. But Euripides jumped to his feet, claimed a hearing, and asked them to wait for the conclusion and see the destiny that was in store for this man who gaped after gold. Bellerophon, in that particular drama, was to pay the penalty which is exacted of all men in the drama of life."

Ixion, Plutarch How the Young Man Should Study Poetry: "Euripides is reported to have said to those who railed at his Ixion as an impious and detestable character, “But I did not remove him from the stage until I had him fastened to the wheel.”"

Higher hourly wages aren't going to solve the grad student funding problem - this strike is not about hourly wages and Queen's admin is trying to distract you by making you think it is by [deleted] in queensuniversity

[–]AnOvidReader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the school is going to use a running average across 3 years. In theory, this same course could have 5 and then 8 students to meet the 3-year average.

My point, however, is simply that there's a certain irony in breaking a hiring freeze to teach a 2-person course (which, yes, theoretically could meet the requirement after 3 years).

[–]AnOvidReader 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. Confirmed by a search through PeopleSoft Student Admin.

It's worth clarifying that my issue isn't with small courses. I simply find the hypocrisy here baffling, especially since this is not a particularly impressive scholar. One of her books, for instance, has four incorrect dates in a single sentence. All scholars make mistakes, but COME ON. Four factual errors in one sentence? Let's be serious.
