Saw the movie yesterday and was blown away by it, just so, so good. So I had to pick this up post-haste.

Goodbye frantic pace of finishing things, hello doorstopper.

I have high expectations for this, because Amal El-Mohtar is responsible for on of my favorite books of all time (Time War) and because this seems to deal with language-based magic. Fingers crossed.

Just finished the chapter that finally gives us the origin of the Dominicus System and I need to lie down.

Re-reading before I watch the second season of the show.

"The sun went down, and Jason’s work was done." and he barely does anything!!!! he doesn't even seduce Medea himself, it's Hera and Aphrodite who ask Aphrodite to ask her son Eros to make Medea fall madly in love with him at their behest, so that she will help Jason survive his trial, which he only undertakes once he has become impervious. what a joke of a "hero"

Book 2 completed, and Jason continues to be useless. Argonautica is a way more apt title than Jason and the Argonauts, since so far it's really the Argonauts making it happen. (So excited for Medea to show up soon.)

Book 1 done and dusted, and bless their hearts, these men are idiots.

"wait, why have I digressed so widely, talking / about Aethalides?" so charmed by this 1775 years after Apollonius originally penned it, this is so relatable lmao (and why i love reading from the antiquities, they're never so far divorced from modern times as you would think)

Pool chapter, you will always be beloved
