“Sing, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many were the men whose cities he saw and whose mind he learned, aye, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the sea, seeking to win his own life and the return of his comrades.”
- Homer, The Odyssey

I’ve been thinking a lot about #Death over the past few months—well, #death and #Death, really.
One being the transition from this life to whatever’s next. And the other being the, uh, being who helps us get from one’s pace to the other.
Mostly I’ve been thinking about #Thanatos and how there doesn’t seem to be many stories in #classicalmythology in which they make an appearance.
I spent a lot of my younger days #scared of Death. But somewhere along the way, that went away.
Anyone else?
