grecoroman euphemisims for Hades-Pluto:
The rich one: bc of his proximity to precious metals, harvests, plants that stem from bellow,etc
Climenus: the famous one
Polydegmon: the one who receives many
Eubuleus: the one who gives good advice
#bc mentioning death or death’s ruler was a bad idea in itself#polidegmon is my fave it’s hilarious#ancient greece#ancient rome#greek mythology#grecolatin mythology#hades-pluto#(ignoring notes for a bit bc busy !! but i will catch up)

Sul fil d’un sofio etesio, Kathleen Battle as Nanetta, Falstaff, Giuseppe Verdi
#romanticism#my neighbor’s kitty would have loved this aria#not verdi inventing how fairies should sound#the linguistic research verdi and co did for the falstaff opera is so so cool#going back to shakespeare’s italian farce sources/translating shakesp into the italian of taht period#sono le fatte. chi le guarda e morto 😰#Youtube

fatalistic bookmark that came with my latest spanish edition of lost illusions, back in 2015
#anyways i always kept this allegorical bookmark inside my lost illusions copy#for context this was in 2015 aka the beginning of the end-> treacherous middle classes voted an apatrid neoliberal who indebted us for 100yr#yes apatrid is not a word in english. but does stateless convey the same? nope

#les illusions perdues 2021#my gifs#borel fans will know ;)#this was a choice.... i know balzac was targetted by borel's petit journeaux at least twice... but no critics point Borel as any of the evi#journalists of lost illusions. i remember blondet being janin for example...#they may have taken the names bc they thought they sounded cool#french romantics

I can’t believe balzac (balzac!) wrote a beautiful sublime sexy stoic revolutionary in lost illusions and the movie adaptation ignored him completely ò_ó!
#michel chrestien fandom riseup (? lol#it just dawned to me that the movie completely erased chrestien#who is such an interesting creation coming from balzac. he is a bit satanic coded bc -> balzac. but also he is sublime and righteous!#he duels lulu and he has the moral high ground!#dont out-royalist balzac pls#(i like elements of the latest LI movie)(the lucien was very correct#lousteau and his mercenary bosses as well)(was the cénacle even in this film I can’t remember
