kicked out of the debate for interrupting all my opponent’s arguements by saying “me when i’m a dipshit idiot” and then threatening to kill them in increasingly erotic tones
[pointing at a sign that says There Is No Year Zero] when calculating how many slutty slutty years historical figures from the BCE years have been dead for, you should add the year of death to the current year and then subtract one 🫵
statius is trying very hard to make his thebaid tragic™ but sometimes the drama™ just veers into the comedic. a baby’s entire face is eaten by a snake because his nurse just straight up forgot about him. a son of heracles thinks it’s a good idea to race with cannibalistic horses and is disqualified when he has to pull them off track when they try to eat another racer. statius bemoans the fact that polynices didn’t die in said race and just had to go die at thebes and be left unburied instead of mourned by all his fellow racers. this entire time oedipus is living in the basement of the palace of thebes just. being blind and miserable I guess
BUT, IT MAY BE SAID, CATO DIED A NOBLE DEATH. WELL, THAT AT ANY RATE IS IN OUR POWER WHEN WE WILL: LET US ONLY DO OUR BEST TO PREVENT ITS BEING AS NECESSARY TO US AS IT WAS TO HIM. THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING.
