Focusing On The Ovid Version Of Medusa Is Not Only Inaccurate To Actual Greek Mythology But Also Decentres

Focusing on the Ovid version of Medusa is not only inaccurate to actual Greek mythology but also decentres the actual victims of the story; Danea and Andromeda. The actual greek version of Medusa was a born monster, not a victim. Focus on the actual victims of Greek myths rather than making new ones.

Plus, perseus wasn't a violent sociopath, he was a young man in a horrible circumstance trying to protect his mother from an abuser that had significant power over them.

Something. About. The Horror Of Being Sent On An Impossible (death) Quest And Obligations And Hospitality

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

Surviving in kakuma refugee camp, day after day, can be incredibly draining. It’s a cycle of uncertainty, with constant struggles for safety, dignity, and basic needs. For many, it’s not just about surviving, but about holding on to a sense of self, identity, and hope amidst overwhelming challenges.

For trans individuals in kakuma refugee camp, these struggles are often compounded by isolation, discrimination, and a lack of daily food,proper healthcare or support for their specific needs. Gender-based violence, lack of privacy, and hostile environments make each day feel even more daunting.

Even though it feels like just another day of surviving, sometimes it’s these small moments of connection and solidarity with others that can make all the difference—whether it’s finding a safe space, meeting someone who understands, or just taking a moment to remember who you are and the strength it takes to keep going.

The darkness enveloped everything, and the noise was deafening. It felt like the world was ending. That day, an unforgettable memory was seared into my consciousness.

The house we were sheltering in suddenly exploded, and stone and debris flew everywhere. But the thing I really remember was the sound. Like the loudest thunder clap but in your face. The air was sucked out of my lungs and I began choking on dust. Then an eerie silence punctuated by cries. The impact hard thrown us, my little family was sheltering against a collapsed wall. I could see the main part of the house utterly destroyed and the corner we were hiding in, relatively intact. Had the bomb landed more centrally, we would have all died. I could see my wife standing up with our children, who had superficial cuts and we started to make our way out through the rubble. It was then that I saw my niece heavily bleeding. I scooped her up and we made our way to the hospital. Luckily, my family survived but the same cannot be said for other families sheltering in nearby houses.

YES, please cause white alta fans would be calling Jet a "dangerous extremist" and yap about how the end doesn't justify the needs but ignore the several crimes Zuko commited in season 1 alone.

Dosen't sit right with me that Jet gets hate for going too far with his motives ONE time like Zuko's crackhead ass wasn't running around doing the same thing for 2 seasons straight

Help my family rebuild their lives🙏😭

‼️WE NEED YOU‼️

Hello, I'm Wasim, from Gaza. I'm 20 years old. My family consists of 6 members: my mother, father, 1 sister, and 2 brothers. We were displaced from Rafah to Al-Mawasi in Khan Yunis, under severe bombardment and destruction, without anything, in a small tent that can not accommodate 5 people without the necessities of life.😞💔😭

As was supposed, I was studying at a university in the month of October in which the war broke out, but my university was destroyed, and the universities in the entire sector were destroyed.
