theeascetic:65pinkroses:theeascetic:Anakin and Obi-Wan, in the style of Achilles and Patroclus. Because the Star Wars Prequels are basically a schlocky, ill-concieved, post modern Iliad. Look what @clarissaexplainingitall sent my Classics butt! (When ur Harvard friends have your back basically). I need to show this to Professor Whittington when I take her class on “ Homer to Star Wars”? Yes?As a former classics major (now a grad student of history) I must ask, what is this class and where can I take it?Also, everyone please show my silly drawing to your professors. That is my dream. Hey! @theeascetic so that course is actually “Epic: From Homer to Star Wars” taught by Professor Whittington at Harvard University! (she is a GEM and also teaches Shakespeare’s Rome, a huge loveable nerd and my semi-mentor)My friend @clarissaexplainingitall has already sent your drawing to our Professor (Naomi Weiss) who taught us Gender and Sexuality in Ancient Greece! She loves to use images in her lectures and especially talk about modern interpretations of Greek stuff so the Internet may have led to young Harvard undergrads seeing your art ahaha. (Basically I’m plugging my profs go buy their books, they’re some of the few women in the department and they’re too pure for the world) -- source link
