This week, I reviewed two books that deal with communities haunted by folklore in different ways. The first, Tom’s Crossing by Mark Z. Danielewski, the second, Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters. open.substack.com/pub/nusky/p/cr…

@TheLincoln I want to see some of these people pick out Ithaca on a map. Hell, I’d like to see them try and locate Athens.

I always remember that part in The Odyssey where Odysseus goes snorkeling after a few margaritas.

What if we built one big data center in the middle of the country, instead of all the small ones? Maybe so big it reaches all the way to heaven?

@CheetahBlack The frog calls? I’m pretty sure they show up in Finnegan’s Wake as well in that big onomatopoeic mess when he falls off the ladder

@Nuskylicious Holy shit. I never realized Joyce was quoting Aristophanes in the beginning of Finnegans Wake. Thank you so much! The influx of Classicists has been helping me pave some Modernist holes.

Chris Nolan has stepped (unwittingly?) into a fierce ongoing debate about how to do justice to the classics. At @TheFP, I write about the Odyssey: the trailer, the casting, and most importantly the poem, whose greatness may be hard for Nolan to capture. thefp.com/p/what-christo…

I just need to reup that both Emily Wilson and Christopher Nolan have destroyed the west by refusing to include digammas in their work
Thermidorian Reaction@wophugus

@sentantiq @CSMFHT Why did Christopher Nolan destroy western civilization by taking out the digammas.

Every time Odyssey discourse comes up I start typing some shit out about how the idiots who think their opinions matter even though they don’t know Greek should **** **********. I usually end up deleting it for being too mean but honestly they deserve a lot worse.

@richmond3000 You’ve made a bewilderingly incompetent comparison that is probably beyond your ability to understand so I’m not even going to bother trying. Fuck you.

@Ck4Rob It’s still okay to be critical of her, but I’ll die before I let some shithead monolingual tell me how to translate Greek
