I know this may be too far back, but could you mention the source where the hymn “ai geneia pasai” is said to be based on a lament by Demeter?

It's been more than two years since I made that post and I unfortunately couldn't find the exact source I had used then. My impression is that I had used a wikipedia page because this is my go-to but the ones I checked now (i.e Byzantine music) have changed in structure and some content since the last time I visited.

So, I found some webpages which mention the same thing but they are in Greek:

In this third site (link), it mentions the same thing and cites wikipedia as the source, so either it indeed was in Wikipedia up to a point or I am not finding the correct page.

Anyway, what must be taken into account is that this is not an established truth but a hypothesis based on the structure and the morphology of the hymn, which is why I was repeating the "it is believed" in the original post. Based on the Greek sites I cited above, I summarized what could work as evidence that supports this hypothesis in English:

parts of the hymn - the less obviously Christian parts - are written in High Attic Greek, with words like "έαρ", "παντάναξ", which were far more common in Ancient Greek than Koine or Medieval Greek

the content of the hymn contains elements not typical to Byzantine themes, such as a focus on "κάλλος", the beauty (of Jesus), which instead was a very popular theme in Ancient Greece

there is an orphic hymn chanted in Eleusinian mysteries as Demeter's lament for Persephone that bears similarities in its context, although there are no identical similarities

this is something you will actually find mentioned in the current wikipedia page about Byzantine music; the first centuries a lot of the Christian compositions were not original but rather copied or inspired by earlier ancient melodies. O Glyky Mou Ear (Ae Geneae Pasae) is according to a church site (also in Greek) composed before the time of St. Romanos the Melodist, so before the 6th century, making it a likely contender to be one of the chants inspired by pagan ones.

this hymn has some characteristic archaic tonal elements in its music but I don't know enough about music theory to perceive this and explain it myself

also, some of the Byzantine hymns were not composed by a certain poet or composer but they were created by the folk and passed from one generation to the next and then they were "polished" by Byzantine μαΐστροι (meisters, maestros). Because this hymn has an unknown date and unknown composer, it is generally hypothesized to belong to this category of hymns, as well. This one, I remember reading it in wikipedia for sure, I don't know why I can't find it now -_-

These were the most relevant parts mentioned in these sites but it has some other interesting info about other Greek cultural continuities as well, I guess, if you google translate...

The villains wanna tease little robin (Jude/Ellis)

Jude/Ellis (normal) Elbie/Alfie (normal) Vic/Will (normal)

All the boys are showing interest in Kate at this event. And their personality has played a huge role in how they express it. This is one of the events that allows you to get to know them better at the very beginning of the story. Sweet, funny and cute. No romance, just a hint of it. Unfortunately, this is not an event that you can save by reading both normal and premium ending. Sadly.

I found the first two chapters, the premium ending and the epilogue:

So I recommend reading this beforehand.

Kate cannot sleep. Yes, she remembers that only the staff can open the door, but it still doesn't give a sense of security. She decided to prepare for the second day of the "pretend to be the Queen" job. But when she opens the book, there is a strange sound outside her room.

And she notices some "maybe-not-so-dead-body" lying at the feet of Ellis and Jude.

It's okay, she couldn't fell asleep anyway…

So, all of them (including unconscious "body") entered Queen-Kate's room. The boys explain that this "body" is the secretary of the minister in question, who actually tried to break into her room with obviously bad intentions.

Kate immediately thought of a very suspicious minister with glasses… and received another compliment from Jude…

Oh, hon, you spoil me…

They explain that Ellis felt a sweet smell coming from the crown. And they realized that the culprit was the one who touched the crown last. But they needed proof, so they waited for his move.

Kate thinks they work very well together. And it doesn't look like a purely business relationship. So she asks:

You look like an old married couple who know each other so well that they can be in perfect sync and understand each other even without words… We've seen that… How long have they been together? Eight years? Something like that… That's a lot!

So they start to express their "wishes" to her…

Oh, how scary…

She tried to reason with them… and that made Jude remind her that if she suddenly backed out, it would be a breach of contract.

Oh, stop it, you're making me blush!

So they took the "body" and left her to sleep. They still have a lot of work to do. Of course, she couldn't sleep at all.

The next morning, the boys bring the culprits to Victor.

Ellis noted that Jude was more harsh with interrogations than usual

But Ellis himself admits that he was a little meaner than usual because he scared Kate. But he didn't cross the line of murder/death. I can't say exactly what he meant.

Of course, he didn't answer that question. Oh Jude, you really love this kid)))

So they found Kate, who decided to ask them what happened last night

Yeah… they don't want to worried her for no reason.

So… In this ending, wish fulfillment was not shown at all. But I really enjoyed the interaction between Jude and Ellis. It's always fun and breathes life… It gives a very vivid picture of who they are, and I can almost hear their voices in these dialogues.

This is the second time this event has been on the JP server. So when it came on EN I will have more than enough opportunities to fill in the gaps that I undoubtedly still have.

how much sleep do i get: a combination of adhd making it hard for me to go to sleep at a reasonble hour and my want to have a long day to make the most out of my time making me wake up early means that i dont get nearly as much sleep as i should and as such should really stop being shocked by my constantly being tired

random fact: I am in the younger half of 9 kids (2 full older brothers, 1 older stepbrother, 2 older stepsisters, 1 younger stepbrother, and 2 younger half-brothers) and my dad and stepmom have already said that they plan to adopt in the future so that number is only gonna go up

aesthetic:

Anyone who wants to do this can feel free to :))

#the funfact is what i always pull out when prompted with thar #its a nice go to #and usually gets a good response
