an iliad - lisa peterson & denis o’hare // oj haywood in nope (2022) dir. jordan peele

Isn't it funny how hard it is to describe a good man?

stories where the characters are doomed from the start because everything that's happened has already happened and they tell you that from the beginning, this is just a story they're telling you, and it does not have a happy ending, and it never will, and there's a reason for it, and it's going to keep happening, again and again and again, to make sure it never happens again

an iliad by lisa peterson and denis o'hare / the mandalorian (2019)

one of my favourite scenes from Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare’s "An Iliad"

Bro, my unyielding loyalty towards you is totally normal and healthy, I swear. It's just that it's definitely my duty to rip out your enemies throats with my bare teeth. You are the love of my life and I am your most valuable tool. Each night, I fantasize about dying in your arms, covered in blood, and then I close my eyes one final time, satisfied because I can feel your fingers on my face as I take my last breath. Haha anyways

Introduction to The Iliad, Emily Wilson

"The gods' chosen" "the gods' champion" no that's the god's little wind up toy. The gods' chew toy. The gods' favorite barbie doll

from the introduction to emily wilsons translation of the iliad

oh, An Iliad, we're really in it now !!

dude you should have been at the club last night it was insane. the dj was playing the lament and funeral of hector from the iliad and everyone was beating their breasts and tearing open their garments. at the end we all built up a funeral pyre in the middle of the dance floor and set it aflame. we were all feeling the inherent human connection through millennia old poetry, it was wild

just finished reading an iliad by lisa peterson and denis o'hare again 9 dead 42 injured

the hector coding of din djarin is damaging to me personally

when we’re done with our overwhelming grief we’ll eat i guess

”this book is a reimagining of hades and persephone as-” it’s the final month of 2023 as a society we need to move on and fast.
