Book 3: Raw meat and man pants

I'm pretty proud of this, especially because i've been drunk for about half of creating it.

So, i left out the whole Agamemnon story because it would have made this WAY too long, but if anyone wants to see it, just let me know, and i'll post it too.

Love always,

Priscilla

Evan of the Mighty Sweaters? Evan the Bearer of Incredibly Straight Teeth? Evan the Giamatti-Pooper?

Athena as a man (or Manthena, as I like to call her) just gets up in everybody's business and runs the show. I like to think of her as the Beyonce of that time.

GREEN MEANS GO!

Athena will do for you what Martin did for the people.

This is amazing. I have to go think of epithets for myself now.

Please post the story of Agamemnon?

p.s. epithets were used to help the storytellers remember the characters since it wasn't actually written down at the time when it was created... it was passed on orally. So the storyteller had to remember hundreds of characters and epithets are an easy way to distinguish people.

With the advent of the written word (like in the Orestaia) you didn't need the epithets to remember the thing. You could just go back and look it up.

They also add to the poetry since each line had it's own beat.

That was HILARIOUS!!!!

I liked the drummer... and the man-pants... and the music...Paint it Black as you sacrifice the bird!!! lol I think you just broke my brain...

and this is one of the earliest (if not THE earliest) source of the Agamemnon story. Essentially you could be reading the version that the Orestaia was originally based upon. We'll never know. This is what has survived by the miracle of chance. The Orestaia was written later and is a dramatic version of the Agamemnon story.
