("This isn't the same word for dappled that he uses in Bakkhai!")
Excellent work, all!

Many are the forms of divine things, and the Gods bring to pass many things unexpectedly; what is expected has not been accomplished, but the God has found out a means for doing things unthought of.

@doloresquintana.bsky.social @emilyhughes.bsky.social It burns the Hell out of me that were #RomanPolanski given the chance to film #TheBacchae by #Euripides, it would, literally, flatten some people which, ya know, is kind of the point. 🤦🙄 Maddening.

Maria Komninou giving an excellent intro to the short retrospective of #IrenePapas at the Greek Film Archives in Athens. Tonight we saw her star in #Cacoyannis’s #Electra (1962): a magnetic performance in a great film of #Euripides’ tragedy.

Das Bild enthält eine Collage aus Text und Bild. Das enthaltene Bild zeigt den Medea-Sarkophag in der Berliner Antikensammlung. In vier Szenen (von links nach rechts) zeigt der Sarkophag das Ende des Medea-Mythos: 1) Übergabe von Medeas vergifteten Geschenken an Kreusa durch Medeas Kinder; 2) Tod Kreusas 3) Medeas Kindermord 4) Medeas Flucht im Drachenwagen. Die enthaltenen Textinhalte sind identisch mit den im Posting mitgelieferten Textinhalten.
