Kid Diego: Don't belittle me.

Kid Klaus: Ah, yes of course. Number 2 would like to clarify that just because his name is Number 2 does not imply in any way that he's inferior to Number 1.

Kid Diego: And all of the above.

Kid Luther: *murmurs something incoherent*

Kid Klaus: Number 1 says he's Number 1 for a reason and some people should just get used to it.

No for real, at this point I'm more willing to believe that she somehow got her bachelor's and master's in Classics without having read the Odyssey and the Iliad, than her having read the Odyssey and the Iliad once in her life

Or maybe she read it once at five years old and thought it was enough

Oh no she actually mentioned using Ovid, Shakespeare's Ulysses, and other sources in an interview.

Oh neat..

However Ovid does not depict Circe being assaulted in his work thankfully. Her stories center around her unrequited love, jealousy, and the consequences of her powerful magic. The focus is on her role as a sorceress who transforms others, not as a victim.

That's a main difference that Miller has been making in her works is the useless plot device of using women's suffering and trauma for shock value.

Like miller you are ruining the source material and the image of those old poets.

Beetlejuice Fan Theory

Okay, so I’ve already shared this with several of you, but I thought it would be neat to post it here in case anyone out there was interested in adding on or joining the discussion. I am absolutely CONVINCED that Betelgeuse knew he was going to try and marry Lydia before the Maitlands ever summoned him. Here are the events as we know them to have passed:

Lydia spots the Maitlands through the window and they comment on it, in full view of the model. 

Lydia receives the skeleton key from Jane.

Cue Betelgeuse’s commercial. The Maitlands immediately leave for the Neitherworld. 

Lydia enters the attic, picks up the handbook, sits down, starts reading.

The Maitlands return three months later and Juno says “I believe he’s been sleazing around your cemetery.”

When the Maitlands FINALLY summon Beej, he goes out of his way to make it look like he’s still trapped in the model- but he’s not. He says to their faces “you want to get some people out of your house. I want to get SOMEBODY out of your house.“ 

From this point on until the end of the snake scene, when Barbara calls him back, Betelgeuse has free roam of the house. Juno even explicitly scolds the Maitlands, telling them “you took Betelgeuse out and you did not put him back!”(sidenote; I can’t help but wonder what he was doing during those hours)

Later, Delia comments that there’s no way anyone could get into the attic because it’s locked. This tells us that Lydia never turned over the skeleton key. Charles kept the study for himself. Lydia keeps the attic. 

We KNOW that Lydia never gave up the skeleton key. This means that if she did continue visiting the attic during those three months(of course she did, why wouldn’t she?) she would have had to sneak around to do it without arousing Delia’s suspicion(cause Delia would take the attic and turn it into a god awful trendy mess given the chance). Which means she was probably only there late at night… wink wink nudge nudge naughty, naughty girl ;)

PLEASE if anyone would like to add on to this, dispute my claims, or contribute a theory of your own, feel free to do so.

If you

tell a Greek person off for merely asking foreigners to be respectful of their culture and do some research

try to disconnect Greeks from their ancient history and cultural heritage so that it will be easier for you to appropriate it and treat it as an aesthetic

use a word from their native language incorrectly with the single purpose of offending them

make snide comments about their relationship to another country when you clearly don't know the historical context (on the anniversary of a historical event that is absolutely relevant)

unfairly accuse Greeks of being supremacists and folkists because you don't understand the meaning of 'ethnicity' and even worse, you refuse to understand it

ignore all the points made by the few people that took the time to explain to you in detail why you're wrong instead of resorting to childish name-calling, like you did

you are clearly the problem. If anyone is discriminatory here, it's you.

You can't claim to appreciate Ancient Greek culture when you have no respect for the people said culture belongs to. Grow up.

If you argue with one folkist/Greek supremacist, 50 of their friends show up. It's always the pattern.
