Delightful and impressive Percy Jackson vs Scylla billboard in Los Angeles (Hollywood and Vine)

The amount of water coming out of billboard is INSANE! Most Immersive Marketing ever!

Saw this bust and had to do a study of it. I referenced the colors from a recreation of another statue of Athena done by Mfab.

The glimpse of Persephone in Disney's "Hercules" that inspired "Lore Olympus"
I haven't remotely read all of it, but Rachel Smythe's Webtoon's comic "Lore Olympus" is terrific. From a new interview:
I assume she means this, and the "giant green man" is Demeter:Q: I love that, I’m so excited for that. Actually, that brings me to my first question I have for you. When did your love for mythology start?SMYTHE: So I liked it for a really, really long time, maybe since childhood? I think my introduction to it is really similar to a lot of people. So Disney’s Hercules came out when I was maybe a middle schooler, but I don’t know for sure because the education system is different here. But it came out, and I watched it. I was very fond of it, and loved it very much. Of course, we then see people who see something they like, and they need to research it a lot.Me and my sister were very much into it. When we learned that Hades had a wife, I was like, “He has a wife, Why wasn’t she in that movie?” But she was actually in the movie—she’s like, in the background having a giant cocktail. Yeah, if you look at the beginning bit of it, she’s got a drink. A cocktail. Like that’s that big (gesturing). Like, baby, look out. She’s talking to some giant green man. But yeah, I loved it and researched it as a kid, and just consumed as much as humanly possible. And the rest is history!

While the Chinese state has destroyed some of the most important Uyghur sacred and historical sites, they have supported the construction of invented sites, with exoticizing, primitivizing, fantasies of indigenous culture.

Madeline Miller interview at Vox
Compare and contrast the lesson they emphasize from The Odyssey:
Ezra Klein
Something I always find very affecting about the Odysseus story is that homecoming isn’t great. He spends all these years trying to get home, but in the end, it’s tragic anyway.
I think that speaks to the idea that you can spend all your life trying to achieve this one thing, and you think when you have it, you’ll be happy. But then the person you became to achieve it means you’re a person who can no longer be happy with it. You become so good at striving that even once you have achieved your goal, you can’t stop striving — and you just become more and more dissatisfied.
That bit of tragedy has always struck me as deeply wise.
Madeline Miller
Absolutely. Odysseus comes home, and I think he experiences both this sort of rush of being home but also alienation and dislocation. I always think about how sad it is that he misses his son’s entire childhood and young adulthood. When he leaves, his son is an infant and when he comes back, his son is 21. He’s missed out on all those years of his marriage. His mother has died while he was away. His father has gotten quite old and infirm.
So now, you’re back with the people you love, but can you connect with them? Odysseus was honored as “best of the Greeks,” the man who was the architect of the fall of Troy, who was honored and treated as this almost God on Earth. Then he was thrown from that into these years of suffering and then brought home again to a place completely different than the one he left. So I think it makes sense to me why he kind of loses it at the end.

In parts of Europe it is traditional to kiss a man rapidly on both cheeks in case he is concealing a rapier in either of his ears— Adrian Bott (@Cavalorn) April 3, 2019
And there was a Golden Age of Victorian Bullshit during which the industrious Victorians made stuff up hammer and tongs, and we are still circulating much of that same bullshit today, which goes to prove that they built things to last back then.— Adrian Bott (@Cavalorn) April 3, 2019
I actually think the "weapons" nonsense is born out of uncomfortableness with intimacy, trust and vulnerability. Also why some men try to turn it into a wrestling match or test of strength.— Andy Horton (@fechtbuch) April 3, 2019
