Anger for #ClassicsTober Day 23: Πάθος.
In the Rhetoric, Aristotle says the emotion (πάθος) of anger is caused by a real or perceived slight or insult. In De Anima, he describes the physiological effect as a boiling of the blood around the heart.
(That pigeon is doomed.)
#ClassicsTober Day 16: “νέκυια.” Erictho, the necromancer from Lucan book 6.
“She sees the shade of the laid out body standing by, fearing the lifeless limbs and hated bounds of its ancient prison. … and enraged at death, she lashes the cadaver with a living snake.”
My favourite Minoan octopus, plus eight extra feet, for #ClassicsTober Day 8: “Octopodes.”
(It was a tough call on whether to do this guy or an Aristotle ref.)
#ClassicsTober Day 30: ευδαιμονία, having a good daemon. Bit of a stretch to draw Socrates’ daimon, who would stop him from doing what he shouldn’t.
Flowers a nod to the translation of ‘flourishing’ that some philosophers prefer to ‘happiness’ for ευδαιμονία.
#ClassicsTober Day 16: Tablet
Yeah, that’s the tail end of a Catullus 51 on the other half.
