Athena Pallas/Minerva Deep dive

I was going to originally say Athana, but due to respect to her late friend Pallas (not the titan/giant), she will be called Pallas Athena from now on, please forgive my ignorance. To the wisest of the wise, to the goddess that tells us the wisdom, may we all cheer for her, like how men and women and all equal in war would cheer after victory.

Colors • gold, orange, yellow, emerald green, and royal blue

Crystal• bronze, metal, gold, silver, Azurite, Iolite, ruby, star sapphire, turquoise, lapis lazuli, ivory, Amazonite, Iolite, Bloodstone, Clear Quarterrtz, onyx.

Alter• I would not put her alter near Heaphestus, be tried to violate her in a myth, I would not put her alter near Aphrodite because they are known to not get along in myths, but things could have changed. She does work well with heroes, so if you worship Hercules or Perseus I would put her alter near them, I would not put her near Arachne and keep her alter away from spider areas, etc. Keep her altar clean and orderly.

Prayer To Athena by Liz “Morning Dove” La Posta

Oh, wise Athena with your spear and shield, protect me and my family from injustice and harm. Council me with your wisdom so that I may make the best decisions. Grant me success in my endeavors, but keep me humble so that I might not become condescending to others. I thank you for the many times you have guided me on my Path. Share with me your mysteries and I will do my best to follow. Athena my Goddess, I pray this in your sacred name, and I vow to always be your faithful dedicant.

Prayer to Athena for Wisdom

Clear-eyed Athena, unrivaled in wisdom, daughter of Zeus and Metis whose craft and wit excelled among the mighty Titans: Athena, I pray to you. Wise in all things you are, goddess; your cunning and guile are well known. In time of war you have no equal in tactics or in strategy; many armies have you guided to victory. In time of peace your blessings fall on those whose work is of the mind–friend of the philosopher, the scientist, the student. Advisor of kings, patron of clever heroes and bold-hearted adventurers, defender of the thinker, mistress of reason and understanding, goddess to whom a strong arm and a sharp sword are nothing without the sense to wield them well and the insight to know when words are worth more than weapons. Athena, grant me a sound mind and steady temper, bless me with good judgment, show me the long view.

Some general observations about archery in the epics in specific, and Greek myth more generally;

-archery/bow and arrow was never a particularly favoured weapon and could straight up be one signifier (among several) of a coward -at the same time, you do have culture hero characters like Heracles wielding bow and arrows! But, his most iconic representations are with the club, not as an archer, even when he has a couple myths where the bow and arrows are important (one very notably after Heracles has left the bow and arrows behind).

In the Iliad, here's the characters who actually use archery in battle; -Paris -Helenus, once -unnamed, general Locrians, though I believe these are also said to be armed with slings at another point? -Teucer (-general Trojans? I forget if they're specifically mentioned as such, but it's very probable) Meriones, once

Here's the characters who use/carry bow and arrow outside of battle; -Odysseus (night raid; he does not use it once despite Meriones giving him his own bow and arrows to bring along, not even to stop Dolon) -Dolon (on the night raid, presumably he also uses it in battle, however) -Teucer (funeral games) -Meriones (funeral games, again)

Odysseus is an interesting case, since both by how he takes (someone else's!) bow and arrows with him on the night raid, and the whole ~special bow~ subplot in the Odyssey we know he should be known as an archer. But despite this, he hasn't brought his own, special in some way, bow to the situation where it would be most useful (the war at Troy). In fact, as far as we know he seems to either not have/use bows of his own at all in the war, and specifically in the Iliad, having to borrow from Meriones when he does take one! (Though we have to give that for some reason neither Diomedes nor Odysseus had weapons with them to the night council and had to borrow others, who had brought weapons along.) Shrödinger's archer, in a way.

Tecuer does use archery in battle. However, while he's Achaean and closer to a "big name", is also very specifically not fully Achaean. He's half-Trojan. Half-barbarian, if you will, someone who "of course" would use such a weapon. He gets to be effective at it and gets no flak for it. But this is probably because he's technically Achaean, so he's partially "protected" from the more negative views of archery, while, as half-Trojan, he's a "safe" character to make a combat archer.

The unnamed Locrians are tertiary Achaean forces at best. Little Ajax, as their leader, is someone who also commits a specific sacrilege at the sack that gets both himself and the rest of the Achaeans in trouble afterwards.

Meriones only uses his bow and arrows outside a war situation (in which he only uses sword and spears, like a "proper" warrior). So this is similar to Odysseus' (non-)use of archery while still nominally being an archer. Edited to amend (11/12/2023): since I stumbled upon it while skimming for something else in the Iliad, Meriones does use bow and arrow, once, in his several appearances and multiples of attempted and succeeded kills. It doesn't, in the end, change much of anything in terms of the body of the text. Meriones' one kill with bow and arrow is passed over extremely quickly and he's very obviously not actually cast as an archer in combat like either Teucer or Paris.

Paris' use of bow and arrow, despite that he's effective with it, is basically our parade example of "using this weapon makes you less manly/less of a proper warrior". If some of the Achaeans present use of archery in an as "acceptable" form as possible, which is still treated as something secondary compared to other weapons, then Paris is on the other extreme. Diomedes shows us with sharp clarity how an archer is seen, despite that the weapon is clearly capable of getting any warrior off the battlefield.

La última flor del almendro temprano. - Previous Page

🌸 The End 🌸

;w; aaaahhh it's over, after 4 months of work! Thank you everyone for the support, it seriously meant a lot! 💖✨🌸 I've told you that Cassandra, like Persephone, shows the marriage-to-death concept. Although, unlike Persephone, Cassandra doesn't have a successful transition into marriage. Persephone's myth shows "both the terror of marriage -the dislocation of transfer from father to husband- and its triumph, the transformation of the bride into the matron, sovereign of her domestic dominion." (James Redfield, Locrian Maidens) Cassandra embodies the defiance and resistance to male dominance (Apollo, Ajax, Agamemnon), and the same "terror" of Persephone, but we could say that she does not get a "triumph" like Persephone. While she is alive, Cassandra never becomes a "real wife". She is always in this liminal state of not being a maiden-virgin nor a legitimate wife, she is a bride for sacrifice (like Iphigenia). So, in this last page, I aimed to show that Cassandra feels fulfilled or liberated by dying because while she is alive she is always in incomplete transitions and confusing states or roles, but in the underworld, she can finally become a real wife. The page is also inspired by the poem of Gabriela Mistral, because she also portrays the idea of love overcoming death in her "Casandra" poem. Mistral says that Agamemnon does love Cassandra and will keep loving her in Hades, and Cassandra says that by death they will be both liberated, and she will "win" him or "get him back". anyway, TvT hope you enjoyed this!

#la última flor del almendro temprano #the last flower of the almond tree that bloomed early #cassandra #agamemnon #tw death #basically a bit of Cassandra myth is to show what happens to maidens who rebel and refuse to become wives #there are essays about this topic i will try to share later #there is also the concpet of bride of hades but the interesting thing is that since Cassandra's “groom” dies with her #maybe they can “marry” in Hades #Cassandra is not bride of Hades but of Agamemnon who died along with her

“Hera is the most prominent of the three gods sought by the homecoming Atreids in fr. 17;the deities mentioned in fr. 5 are the Nereids, Kypris, and possibly Hera; and of course Hera is the god to beseech in the new Charaxos Song. In Homeric epic, Hera occasionally operates in this sphere as well, protecting or harming heroes at sea. Zeus in Iliad 15 reminds his wife how he punished her—suspended from a golden chain, her feet weighed down with anvils—because she had driven his beloved son Heracles off-course: ‘prevailing uponthe storm-winds (θυέλλας), with Boreas’ help you malevolently (κακὰ μητιόωσα) drove him over the unploughed sea to Kos’. In Proclus’ summary of the Cypria, Hera sends a storm (χειμῶνα) against another enemy, Paris, as he sailsoff with Helen, thus preventing the Trojan prince’s safe and straightforwardhomecoming with his cargo. Hera's role vis-à-vis seafarers in the Odyssey is more positive. As Circe instructs Odysseus on how to get home, she names Hera as protector of the Argonauts: because Jason was dear to her, she helped the Argo sail safely through the Clashing Rocks. In Odyssey 4.512–513, Menelaus tells Telemachus that the same goddess saved (σάωσ’) Agamemnon on his way home from Troy, whereas Locrian Ajax was destroyed. As Nagy argues in this volume, the Agamemnon passage relates closely to Sappho fr. 17, where the Atreids (or an Atreid) are connected with a festival of Hera on Lesbos and, subsequently, a homeward voyage from Troy..”

Really enjoying Homer getting to Book II in his recitation and hamming it the fuck up for the crowd based on where he was that night.

"Let me hear it from the Locrians! Your man Ajax was the lesser only in size, but if you're from Cynos or Opoeis, you KNOW he was unmatched in the spear. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Let's hear it for his forty black ships!"

"What my man Nerius lacked in ships he more than made up for in sexiness, am I right? They don't make them like they do on Symi. Whew. I mean like literally they did not make enough ships. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, with a face like that did he even need them, though?"

"Do I see some Abantians in the crowd? Oh, I can tell you're from Euboeia with that long hair. Is it true you have the best grapes west of Argos? He said it, not me, folks. Forty ships from Euboea! Give it up!"

"Fuck Salamis, tho. Twelve ships. Next."

#listen does this chapter have important and interesting historical info #yes #but do I also believe it existed as a sort of #how's everyone in [city] tonight!#like here's why you should care I'm gonna list YOUR guys #so you know who to cheer for in this story #this is my take as a non scholar of anything #Achilles dialed up to 11 was the opener #we got the main tension already on the page #time to ease tension in the crowd and get them going #I fully believe he changed the order of the recitation based on where he was reciting it

"Their (the blessed) table is spread outside the city in the Elysian Fields (...) But I desire to mention the famous men whom I saw there. There were all the demigods and the veterans of Troy except Locrian Ajax, the only one, they said, who was being punished in the place of the wicked. (...) I also saw Socrates, the son of Sophroniscus, chopping logic with Nestor and Palamedes; about him were Hyacinthus of Sparta, Narcissus of Thespiae, Hylas and other handsome lads. It seemed to me that Hyacinthus was his especial favourite, for at any rate he refuted him most. It was said that Rhadamanthus (king of the place of the blessed) was angry at Socrates and had often threatened to banish him from the island if he kept up his nonsense and would not quit his irony and be merry. Plato alone was not there: it was said that he was living in his imaginary city under the constitution and the laws that he himself wrote. The followers of Aristippus and Epicurus were in the highest favour among the heroes because they are pleasant and agreeable and jolly good fellows. Aesop the Phrygian was also there—they have him for a jester. Diogenes the Cynic had so changed his ways that he not only married Lais the courtesan, but often got up and danced and indulged in tomfoolery when he had had too much. None of the Stoics was there—they were said to be still on the way up the steep hill of virtue. (...) They said that the Academicians wanted to come but were still holding off and debating, for they could not arrive at a conclusion even on the question whether such an island existed. Then too I suppose they feared to have Rhadamanthus judge them, as they themselves had abolished standards of judgment. It was said, however, that many of them had started to follow people coming thither, but fell behind through their slowness, being constitutionally unable to arrive at anything, and so turned back half-way. (...) About love-making their attitude

is such that they bill-and-coo openly, in plain sight of everyone, without any discrimination, and think no shame of it at all. Socrates, the only exception, used to protest that he was above suspicion in his relations with young persons, but everyone held him guilty of perjury. In fact, Hyacinthus and Narcissus often said that they knew better, but he persisted in his denial. They all have their wives in common and nobody is jealous of his neighbour; in this point they out-Plato Plato. Complaisance is the universal rule.

Hardly two or three days had passed before I went up to Homer the poet when we were both at leisure, and questioned him about everything. “Above all,” said I, “where do you come from? This point in particular is being investigated even yet at home.” “I am not unaware,” said he, “that some think me a Chian, some a Smyrniote and many a Colophonian. As a matter of fact, I am a Babylonian, and among my fellow-countrymen my name was not Homer but Tigranes. Later on, when I was a hostage (homeros) among the Greeks, I changed my name.” I went on to enquire whether the bracketed lines had been written by him, and he asserted that they were all his own: consequently I held the grammarians Zenodotus and Aristarchus guilty of pedantry in the highest degree. Since he had answered satisfactorily on these points, I next asked him why he began with the wrath of Achilles; and he said that it just came into his head that way, without any study. Moreover, I wanted to know whether he wrote the Odyssey before the Iliad, as most people say: he said no. That he was not blind, as they say, I understood at once—I saw it, and so had no need to ask. Often again at other times I would do this when I saw him at leisure; I would go and make enquiries of him and he would give me a cordial answer to everything, particularly after the lawsuit that he won, for a charge of libel had been brought against him by Thersites because of the way he had ridiculed him in the poem, and the case was won by Homer, with Odysseus for his lawyer.

At about this time arrived Pythagoras of Samos who had undergone seven transformations, had lived in seven bodies and had now ended the migrations of his soul. (...) Empedocles came too, all burned and his body completely cooked, but he was not received in spite of his many entreaties.

(After a battle between the heroes and the people from the wicked place) "An account of this battle was written by Homer, and as I was leaving he gave me the book to take to the people at home, but later I lost it along with everything else. The poem began:

This time sing me, O Muse, of the shades of the heroes in battle!"

(Lucian, True Story, book 2)
