The Iliad Drinking Game

‘Athene of the Flashing Eyes’. Take a sip.

‘aegis-bearing Zeus’. Take a sip.

‘laughter-loving Aphrodite.’ Take a sip.

‘White-armed Here.’ Take a sip. Or ‘Here of the white arms’.

‘Hector of the flashing helmet’. Take a sip.

‘Briseis of the lovely cheeks.’ Take a sip.

‘black ships’ or ‘good black ships’. Take a sip.

‘Wise Odysseus.’ Take a sip.

In fact take a sip for every ‘X of the YZ’ sentence construction. 

‘Night descended on his eyes’ or night is used to represent death. Take a sip.

A character gets killed off BEFORE Homer tells you his lineage. Take a sip. 

The tide of the war turns- ie the Trojans start winning or the Achaens stop losing- take a shot. 

Someone mocks the enemy. Take a shot.

A character does something that would be beyond the strength of a normal man but they can do it because they are Heroes/Demigods. Take a shot. 

Homer describes armour in such loving detail that you want to own said armour for yourself, even if you don’t usually drool over cool armour. Take a shot. Oooh Agamemnon’s blue enamel armour oooh

You get to know and like a character in just three lines… AFTER Homer’s killed him off. Take a shot.

You think “wow, Helen’s characterisation is much more sympathetic and badass than I was led to believe by pop culture”. Take a shot.

A character has a wound that should kill them, but the gods/gods’ armour saves him. Take a shot. 

A character is told to say something or give a message and says the exact same words even though the two segments are only a handful of lines apart. Take a shot.

Someone gives a monologue that they really shouldn’t have the time or the breath left to say. Drink for the duration of the monologue.

Homer pauses the plot to give a long, detailed simile. Drink for the duration of the tangent.

Sorry. Forgot to upload this one last week.

An easier way to tell the difference is through the literal meanings of "kita" and "sa'yo"

"Kita" means 'you' and "sa'yo" means something like 'to you'

This means that "Isinusampa kita" means "I curse you" and "I sinusampa sa'yo" means "I gravely promise to you"

But don't completely take my word, I didn't ask my parents (they're the native speakers)

Edit: DANG WROTE IT WRONG

Filipino Lesson #4 [Tagalog]

SUMPA can have two meanings depending on moral purpose.

It can mean CURSE or GRAVE PROMISE.

"Isinusumpa ko" can mean "I curse" or "I gravely promise". It depends on the context, but putting different nouns can distinguish them.

Isinusumpa kita - means I curse you.

Isinusumpa ko sa'yo - means I gravely promise you.

Why would I say 'gravely promise' instead of just 'promise'?

The things is, using SUMPA for promise means you are definitely taking this promise seriously that you are willing to die for it.

There's a lighter and more casual way to say promise: Pangako.

ISSUE AN AMBER ALERT FOR MOLLY MARTIN

An indigenous girl in Nova Scotia has gone missing, last seen with a known sexual offender in his 40s, and the RCMP refuse to issue an Amber Alert because "she left willingly". She has been missing since August 13th, and the members of her community have been out searching for her while the RCMP refuse to do anything

#BringMollyHome

Cops murdered a black girl in Toronto this week too but Canadians are too up their own asses about how we’re “Not the racist ones! That’s only America! We’re the nice ones :)” to acknowledge it or do anything about it
