Catullus is almost cheating, but I'll go with #58, cheating a little in the translation for clarity: Caelius, my Lesbia, that Lesbia, Yes, that Lesbia, whom I loved more Than myself and all my own people, She now at intersections and in alleyways Jacks off the brave scions of Rome. Or the identical first and last lines of #16, which are fairly untranslatable because of the two very precise and coarse verbs that Latin has that Catullus uses. I'll translate the sense without the full vulgarity; Catullus to two of his critics: I'll poke you and choke you.

Ancient Mediterranean warships often had a giant metal pointy bit on the bow, for ramming into other ships. Roman rams were inscribed with the name of the politician who commissioned the ship. The one surviving Carthaginian prow is inscribed "We pray to Ba'al that this goes into the other ship and makes a big hole"

Some people devote themselves entirely to a bit, even if the bit is "tedious person". It's an odd choice, but it does exist I absolutely adore late-Republic, early empire history since it was a major part of my postgraduate studies. Roman society of the period feels extremely familiar and at the same time, extremely different to our own social structures. Their attitude to dogs is one of the things that is almost absolutely identical. Pookah fucked around with this message at 09:13 on May 24, 2022 |

Admiralty Flag posted:Facefuck almost gets across irrumato, but doesn't quite do justice to the forcefulness of the word. If we had a word "mouthrape" then maybe that would work. I still feel like we lose something of the pithiness of fitting it to the meter but that's maybe letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Skullfuck?

Yeah he's addressing 16 to a contemporary critic who had said his poems sucked so it absolutely wasn't supposed to be a "I just want to have violent lustful sex with you" type of venting of emotions it was truly a "go gently caress yourself, go gently caress the horse you rode in on, never talk poo poo about me again, mother fucker, I will drag you" type of thing

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:How many guys have to get surprise hosed by pigs before someone says "There should be a law about this--and the law should say that this is totally okay!" I suspect the thing leading to it was a bunch of farmers being "Hey, my neighbour's pig totally hosed me in the rear end! The pig committed a crime! I should get to kill and eat it." and the king getting sick of telling them to knock it off.

Oh yay I can post about Horme again So this dude Arrian of Nicodema (who wrote under the name Xenophon to imitate his hero) was a Greek writing in the 2nd century and he paused in the middle of a technical manual he wrote about how to raise and breed and train sighthounds to go off for several paragraphs about his dog, Horme, which means 'impulse' or 'dash'. Arrian posted:"I myself reared a hound with the greyest of grey eyes, and she was fast and a hard worker and spirited and agile, so that when she was young she once dealt with four hares in a day. And apart from that she is most gentle (I still had her when I was writing this) and most fond of humans, and never previously did any other dog long to be with me and my fellow huntsman Megillus as she does. For since she was retired from the chase, she never leaves us, or at least one of us.

You know I thought about it and I'm pretty sure that nearly half the modern dog breeds in existence were specifically bred for royalty in the first place. Long story short: Monkeys like dogs. Dogs like monkeys. This is the way.

I'm proud to be a Nanni. Catching up it sounds like some cultures used height as a proxy for age/ability to understand responsibility. "Must be this tall to crime" Harold Fjord fucked around with this message at 18:25 on May 28, 2022 |

I bought myself an electric blanket for back pain and then my cat found out about it and would try to steal it from wherever I hid it, so anyway now we have two electric blankets, and she yells at me when the heat cuts off so I can turn it back on again.

Was reading the Saga of Hrolf Krakki (?) years ago and there was a passage talking about how the king was on the prow of his ship exchanging kingly words* with a guy standing on a nearby cliff. *Per the footnotes kingly words are just gay jokes about dick sucking.

War and Pieces posted:Absolutely nobody on earth treated dogs as well as people do these days untill the 50's if not latter One of the oldest written stories we have today comes from India around 8th or 9th century BC, and it ends with the main hero at the border of Paradise with everyone else but his loyal dog having died on the journey. A god come down to greet him tells him he is allowed in, but can't take the dog because no dogs allowed in heaven apparently. Our hero says gently caress that, I can't just abandon my dog and it wouldn't be heaven without it anyways then turns to leave. The god then says "Sike, that was just a test to see if you were worthy of heaven, of course the dog can come too."
