Matt Reeves has the potential to give us the funniest comedic duo with Martinez and Bruce.

Martinez, bored out of his mind, sipping on his Barbie ice coffee: Gun to your head, would you rather kiss Joker or Riddler?

Bruce, who wanted a barbie drink too but was too awkward to order: Gun to my head? Pull the trigger

Martinez: wh E E Z E

IT'S 11:30 PM BUT I AM HAVING THOUGHTS

THOUGHTS ABOUT APOLLO AND ORESTES

I HAVE NOT READ THE ORESTIEA BUT DW I HAVE IT AND I'M GONNA READ IT AFTER THE ILIAD

I MAY HAVE MORE THOUGHTS AFTER THAT WE SHALL SEE

I made my Apollo & Cassandra post a while back so now it's time for Orestes :)

just. ahhhh. how do i begin.

at the beginning i guess.

Orestes is a young child when he's smuggled out of Argos. By his sister to keep him safe when their father is murdered by their mother. He's a young boy exiled from his home because of the actions of a vengeful queen.

Years later, he receives a mission from Apollo - kill his mother to avenge his father. And he does just that.

Apollo was a young god, not even born yet, when he was exiled from the very earth by a vengeful queen. His mother fought and ran to find a place to deliver him and his own sister to safety. In his mother's honor, he goes out of his way to kill those who dare to harm her - Python and Tityus, to name a few.

The parallels get me okay? Even if it's not a deadringer, they are sill there.

Apollo defends his mother while Orestes kills his.

Orestes was ordered to kill his mother while Apollo murdered others for Leto on his own accord.

And what REALLY gets me is their different motivations in this situation - Orestes believes he's avenging his father, the man he never quite knew. Apollo meanwhile wouldn't loose sleep over Agamemnon's death.

Apollo wasn't aiming to avenge Agamemnon. He was avenging Cassandra.

But he couldn't tell Orestes that, now could he? After all, what was a mere slave girl from Troy to Orestes? Especially since he didn't know her at all.

Avenging Cassandra wouldn't be enough to convince Orestes to commit matricide. So Apollo uses Agamemnon's death as incentive for Orestes.

And it works. Apollo's goals are met - Clytemnestra and Aegisthus are killed, and Cassandra's soul can rest easy now in Elysium.

He could cut his losses and leave Orestes to the Furies. He no longer has anything to do with this.

But Apollo stays with Orestes. He helps him rest in Delphi before getting him a headstart to Athens. He defends him in court from the Furies, in front of the jury of Athenians and Athena herself. He puts himself firmly on Orestes's side and uses whatever means necessary to get him off the hook.

And if that means manipulating the city of Athens via their sexist ideologies? It's free real estate. When you're in court, you use whatever you can to help your client.

And Apollo wins. Orestes is free to go, and the curse of the House of Atreus is gone for good.

just. vibrating from this. the similarities between Apollo & Orestes in their youth that diverges in stark ways. How Apollo could have dropped Orestes the moment his own goal was finished, but chose not too - he chose to take it a step farther and get rid of that curse for good. So Orestes and his family could live in peace.

When I first heard about the Oresteia, and what Apollo says to free Orestes, I had a hard time reconciling it. Apollo just didn't give off those sexist vibes to me (as a matter of facts, very few gods do - after all, they appear how they want when they want. gender is meaningless to gods.).

But I did some digging. Some thinking. And really, Apollo is quite in-character during the trial - he's in Lawyer Mode. He manipulates the system to his advantage as well as the Athenian citizens with their misogynistic beliefs.

Because think about it. Apollo uses the argument, in brief terms, that a mother has no claim on the child because they are only for making babies. This gets half of the Athenian jury to immediately side with Orestes.

Is this a bullshit argument? Absolutely. But sometimes a bullshit argument gets your client out of trouble and that's the job of a lawyer - to help their client.

For a closing statement, I also want to say that I don't think Apollo himself believes that sexist opinion. After all, Leto was the one running around the world to find a safe place to deliver him and Artemis - Zeus did very little to help.

It was his mom who did all the work, and Apollo is very clearly a mama's boy.

Plus, 99.9% of the people Apollo hangs out with are women. Leto, Artemis, the Muses, Athena, Hecate, Aphrodite, ect ect

There's no way he actually buys that argument. He just used it to gaslight the very-sexist Athenians into voting in Orestes's favor because godsdammit that curse needs to go!

thank you for coming to my TEDTalk. I have feelings. goodnight now. happy new year. i shall post a snippet of a storyboard idea for my mythology series tomorrow that features apollo & orestes because I HAVE FEELINGS.

Batgirl #9 (2000) // the Iliad trans. Caroline Alexander // Táin Bó Cuailnge trans. Thomas Kinsella

#cassandra cain #dc #batgirl #batman #web weaving #I've wanted to make this post for years now #when I first read this scene in the comic I almost screamed!! the choice between a short life and glory or a long life and mediocrity. just #AHHHHHHHHH #anyway DC should do more with this Cassandra Cain is SUCH an interesting character with #the way she shares characteristics with classic heroes of myth and legend #I mean all superheroes do to a certain extent #but they're usually not this overt #may never do this again lol I have zero programs for this and it took forever #but also the more I focused on it the more parallels I found #Achilles and his mother #Cass and Lady Shiva #heck even to some extent Cúchulainn and Cathbad #who may or may not be his grandfather #if Cass chooses to get Shiva's help she'll have to come back in a year to fight to the death (and she expects to die)#if Achilles chooses to fight the Trojans he'll die during the war #if Cúchulainn picks up those weapons (choosing to fight for glory) his life will be short #if Cass chooses to do things Bruce's way (choosing her father) she'll can be Batgirl again #but never with the same skill level #if Achilles chooses to return to his father's land he will never achieve fame and glory but he'll live a long life #you can't really see it in these snippets but Cúchulainn's already made the choice and it can't be taken back #but you could parallel it with Conchobar's anger or with Cathbad's prediction of woe coming to that child #they're his mother's family but they are the paternal figures here #and in the end all three choose perfection and glory and fame over a long life of mediocrity #ANYWAY I find it fascinating #dc once again please hire me

✨10 YEARS OF GREEK MYTH COMIX✨

I’ve made a special graphic to celebrate - see it in full on GreekMythComix.com

Thank you all so much for your years of support and sharing with your students! The whole intention of this site was to help anyone who wanted to understand terminology and literature of Classical Civilisation, and I think that that intention has been fulfilled!

PS: Go to the site and click ‘First’ under the graphic to see my first ever drawing posted on the site - with only a New Year’s resolution to ‘draw more’, I didn’t know where to start - so I started at the beginning 😂

I found out about classicstober really late but I really didn’t want to make that stop me lmao so here’s the first twelve days.

I decided to do things really simply because it’s a lot in little time and I also have stuff like planning a future site, working on school, portfolio day pray for me and college searches/applications. There’s aren’t all perfect but it was really fun and helped me figure out exactly how I wanted to portray certain characters!

Later on I might digitize these and try to make stickers (but I need to get a site up first so it’ll be a long time :/)
