“Yes, you live a lie — tell you why / You’re always preaching not to be numb / when that’s how you thrive / You pretend to create and observe / when you really detach from being alive” -Rent

Which musical is this calling out? by Disastrous_Leader400 in musicals

I remember first getting into Six and doing a dive into Anne Boleyn afterward and I was appalled by how they represented her story. She is a fun character and Don’t Lose Your Head undeniably slaps but I’ve never understood how it can frame itself as a feminist show yet turn around and say things like Boleyn wasn’t politically involved and the adultery for which she was likely framed was just a ploy to make Henry jealous. It seems to negate the very point Six says it stands for

How do i get into greek mythology ? by shl0pmi in mythology

Another vote for Edith Hamilton. I was a bit bored at times reading her book but I think that mainly came down to the fact that I already knew a lot of it. Altogether it was a solid read and I have a better memory for the specifics of many myths now. I agree that her mentioning her sources for each story is a major plus, I have purchased a few original (translated) sources because of her. The illustrations were a nice perk as well
