Hello, hellooo my celestials! π
A very special reading episode is finally here! This time I'll be reading two myths for you, which are centered around LOVE, of course π€ These are "Orpheus and Eurydice" and "Eros and Psyche" πͺ½πΉ
I recorded it on Valentine's Day actually, in case you're confused why I keep wishing you a great V-Day haha π But yeah, it's a Valentine's week and Valentine's month, as I say in this audio, and no one can stop me making it all about love and romance up until March π
I adore you with my whole heart, but you already know this πβ¨

P.S. Oh, and this time I was reading from "a real book, an actual book!!" haha, please forgive me for being such a dork at times, can't help it. And a huge thank you to that kind soul who gifted me this gorgeous book π
π The book I'm reading is "Greek Myths: Meet the Heroes, Gods, and Monsters of Ancient Greece" by Jean Menzies. Illustrated by Katie Ponder.

2024-02-20 22:30:28 +0000 UTCI quite enjoyed listening to your reading. I must first commend your excellent reading voice and pace. It was interesting for me to hear this retelling/rendition of these two tales. Funny enough, despite having a BA in Classics, I never actually read Eros and Psyche from Apuleius's Metamorphoses (The Golden Ass). During your telling, especially the nightly "visits" and the discovery of Eros's identity, I was immediately reminded of the folktale East of the Sun and West of the Moon (There is a book by the same title that contains this tale and others. I would actually be interested to hear you read from it.) Concerning Orpheus and Eurydice, I found it interesting that the author condensed the entire remainder of Orpheus's life to a few sentences. I presume this was intended for children, so they pass over his time among the Argonauts and his brute end either at the hands of Zeus, locals, or at the hands of Thracian Bacchants. To answer your questions, I was always curious if he had to climb up on his way there, meaning he would have to turn to climb back down. If that was the layout of the part of Hades Orpheus entered, I do not think I ever could accomplish such a task. As for the true form of gods killing mortals, it depends. I can only think of Semele getting killed by Zeus upon demanding to be received by him as Hera was first received by him. I will do some digging later.

2024-02-20 21:21:44 +0000 UTCQuestions for you: ππ Do you think you'd be able to walk up to the surface without looking back at your lover? ππͺ½ Why you think Eros was only coming to Psyche at night? At first, I thought it was because mortals tend to perish whenever they see gods in their true form, but then Aphrodite appeared before Psyche later on, and my theory no longer made any sense π€
