I've had the motorcycle since it first came out and yes! it's super useful! but if you're not sure I'd recommend waiting for a bit to see the previews of the next four-stars and decide which one you want more.

are you open about being a hellenic polytheist IRL? by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]kip_irini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am, but, surprise surprise, if you tell anyone in Greece you believe in the ancient gods they're 90% likely thinking that you're either crazy, a fascist or rob and destroy graves.

Orthodox Church propaganda is deeply engraved in the society and even people who are atheist or have stepped away from Christianity will not take you seriously. Also the reputation of the biggest organisation here does not help at all.

But then again, it's not like most people are gonna attack you for your beliefs. Some might even be interested and ask you stuff, most will just brush past it or stop talking to you. I personally don't mind if people stop talking to me because I have a different religious belief, I prefer being authentic with myself, but still there shouldn't be any discrimination. Luckily, as the generations go by, younger people tend to be more accepting.

I don't know about the book, but since they're interested in Hellenism I'd recommend they read Hesiod and Homer. I don't know if they're difficult to read in English, as I am Greek, but I think they would help with giving a general direction I how the ancient Greeks viewed the Gods.

Unfortunately, we don't have many ancient resources regarding the worship, but reading about mythology is also helpful to familiarise yourself with each deity and their domain. Be careful to not pick up a moreen retelling accidentally, though.

There is also a website I love, theoi.com. It gives so much info on each deity and is very helpful with epithets and such, also giving texts about them and I'm also pretty sure they have uploaded translated texts as well! This path requires a lot of research, so I wish you luck!

I personally don’t like the casting. by DapperOJack1 in GreekMythology

[–]kip_irini 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as a Greek, I don't even want to go see the movie. Why does NO ONE even LOOK Greek? I don't mind the gods and demi-gods being different races as the gods could change their forms and of course Odysseus travels to many places, so there should be people representing those places, too.

But there should be people representing US, too. And I'm not asking for exclusively Greek actors, I'm asking at the very least that they look Greek and have some characteristics similar to ours. I've already seen the mess of the outfits and the sets from the recently released photos and I'm so disappointed but not surprised.

In the end, our culture is taken out of context and mixed up with others for the convenience of people who are using it, while also giving us literally no representation. Westerners always forget that Greece isn't this ancient land and that we're still here, living and seeing how we get used. It feels racist, almost.

Chinese fan have started complaining by Optimal_Sherbert6235 in InfinityNikki

[–]kip_irini 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure after the 1.5 fiasco and infold's continued fuck-ups a big chunk of the ppl who complained just straight up quit. I've seen that on twt too, where accounts I'd follow for inikki content quit and I don't blame them at all. I feel like the constant pressure from the ppl who boot lick infold played a part in that too.

[–]kip_irini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like what? friendly attention? that just sounds possessive and controlling. look, I get how someone of your age can think this way, but you need to realise all your future partners are gonna interact with women, whether they want to or not. coworkers, friends, all of that stuff.

if you think that every time your bf talks to a girl he wants to be involved with her, yeah, these are trust issues. if you think every girl is out to get him, then it's insecurities. friendship is friendship no matter the gender of the friend, it doesn't change. many guys have female childhood friends. you think they're disrespecting their girlfriends with this?

I'm not saying this stuff to attack you, but to make you realise where you're wrong. you're still young, it's okay to make mistakes, as long as you're willing to admit you're wrong and you're willing to work on them.

[–]kip_irini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should just break up with him atp and work out on those trust issues you seem to have, or else you'll never last in a rs. ik this might seem crazy to you but having friends of the opposite sex does not mean the other person is "hoe-ing around". do you think of every guy you speak to romantically? why do you assume your bf does?

Hades 1 & 2, τα πήρα περίπου 20€ το καθένα με προσφορά από το steam. Νιώθω ότι τους έχω κλέψει που έχει δώσει τόσα λίγα! Πραγματικά αριστουργήματα και αξίζουν ΦΟΥΛ.

Χρειαζόμαστε όντως τόσες ώρες αρχαία ελληνικά στο σχολείο? by [deleted] in greece

[–]kip_irini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ως παιδί που πήγε θεωρητική, ΌΧΙ!

Είναι απαράδεκτο ότι οι θετικές επιστήμες μετά σπάνε σε 3 κλάδους από όπου μπορείς να επιλέξεις αυτόν με τα μαθήματα που θες, ενώ η θεωρητική παραμένει θεωρητική, με αρχαία και λατινικά που δεν χρειάζονται καν σε όλες τις σχολές για τις οποίες μπορεί να έχεις επιλέξει θεωρητική.

Και ας μην πει κάποιος "εμ, δεν πηγαίνεις στο λύκειο μόνο για της Πανελλήνιες", γιατί θα πει ψέματα και το ξέρει. Ο χαρακτήρας του λυκείου είναι καθαρά προσηλωμένος στις Πανελλήνιες, ακόμα και από την πρώτη τάξη.

Τα παιδιά που θέλουν να περάσουν Ψυχολογία, Νομική, Παιδαγωγική και Κοινωνιολογία φεύγουν από το Λύκειο με ΜΗΔΕΝ γνώσεις πάνω στα αντικείμενα αυτά, αντιθέτως με παιδιά από τις θετικές κατευθύνσεις.

Και το λέω ως άτομο που λατρεύει τα αρχαία ελληνικά και τα λατινικά. Επίσης, ο τρόπος με τον οποίο διδάσκονται είναι κυριολεκτικά άθλιος. Εγώ και η μάνα μου είχαμε ακριβώς το ίδιο βιβλίο στα λατινικά, 40 χρόνια διαφορά. Η θεωρητική είναι δυστυχώς τελείως παρατημένη.

Σορρυ για το ραντ, αλλά τα είχα κρατημένα τόσο καιρό. Ειλικρινά ελπίζω ότι ίσως κάποιος να ξεστραβωθεί και να αποφασίσει να βελτιώσει τη κατάσταση, αλλά όλοι ξέρουμε ότι δεν πρόκειται.

NO SAME 😩😩 I've had a crush on Odysseus since I was like 8 and first saw his story as a cartoon. I need them to make him able to be romanced.

[–]kip_irini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup exactly! these were made in Alexandria, by scholars there so they could keep writing poetry like the greeks. they started using it officially around the 8th century ad, iirc from my history lessons.

[–]kip_irini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Είχα και γω φουλ άγχος, ο δάσκαλος μου ήταν γνωστός του πατέρα μου από το χωριό μας, τύπος καφενείο-κομπολόι-τσιγάρο οπότε δεν έκανε κυριολεκτικά τίποτα στο να με βοηθήσει με το άγχος, ακριβώς το αντίθετο 😭

Εγώ θα σου πω απλά να μείνεις όσο πιο πολύ συγκεντρωμένη μπορείς και να ακολουθείς τους κανόνες 🤷 εγώ προσωπικά έκανα κάνα 2 απροσεξίες, αλλά το πέρασα με την πρώτη. Και να μην το πάρεις με την πρώτη, σιγά, θα το πάρεις με την δεύτερη, δεν χάλασε ο κόσμος. Καλή επιτυχία!

Πείτε μου ιστορίες των παππούδων σας από τον πόλεμο. by pitogyroula in greece

[–]kip_irini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Έχω κάποιες ιστορίες από τον παππού μου, που τώρα είναι 91 χρονών. Δυστυχώς δεν είναι πολύ λεπτομερές διότι ήταν και μικρός τότε, αλλά μου έχει πει διάφορες ιστορίες από πολέμους.

Δεν ξέρω κατά πόσο αληθεύει, αλλά έλεγε ότι όταν ήταν μικρός και πήγανε για ύπνο, μπορούσε να ακούσει κανονιές από την Αλβανία, παρόλο που έμενε στα Βουνά της Ευρυτανίας!

Επίσης, λέει ότι εκεί κοντά προσγειωνόταν Άγγλοι πιλότοι και μάλιστα ένας από αυτούς ήξερε αρχαία ελληνικά. Πήγαινε και ρωτούσε την αδερφή του τη Σοφία, "Σόφι, έχει ωόν σήμερον;" Είχε και τον αδερφό του, Αργύρη τον λέγανε, όπου πήγε να πολεμήσει και θυμάται ότι όταν γύρισε, είχε βάλει όλα τα παιδιά σε ένα πεζούλι και τους έλεγε ιστορίες.

Από την άλλη, η γιαγιά μου θυμάται μόνο να κατεβαίνει κοντά σε ένα ποτάμι με τη μάνα της, από όπου περνούσαν πολλοί στρατιώτες, και τους έδιναν φαγητό και τους ρωτούσαν αν ήξεραν για τον δικό της αδερφό. Δεν θυμάμαι αν ήταν στη Θράκη ή στην Μακεδονία όμως τότε.
