translating the odyssey has got me thinking about the ocean so here are some pretty greek words about the sea

į¼Ī»ĪÆĪ²ĻĪæĪ¼ĪæĻ‚- murmuring like the sea

į¼Ī»ĪÆĻ„ĻĪæĻ†ĪæĻ‚- nurtured by the sea

į¼Ī»Ī¹Ī±Ī½ĪøĪ®Ļ‚- sea-blooming

į¼€Ī½ĪµĪ¼ĪæĪ¶Ī¬Ī»Ī·- strong surging sea

Ī“Ī¹Ī±ĪøĪ±Ī»Ī±ĻƒĻƒĪµĻĻ‰- to be parted by the sea

į¼ĪŗĪøĪ±Ī»Ī±Ļ„Ļ„ĻŒĪæĪ¼Ī±Ī¹- to become all sea

Ī³Ī±Ī»Ī®Ī½Ī·- in general, calmness, but also refers to the stillness of the sea in particularĀ 

Ļ€Ī±ĻĪ±ĪøĪ±Ī»Ī¬ĻƒĻƒĪ¹ĪæĻ‚- beside the sea

į½•Ļ†Ī±Ī»ĪæĻ‚- under the sea

these were all very nice so i decided to look for more and

suffice it to say i am no longer looking for ancient greek words about the sea

Okay but to build on my previous space ideas – there is no good reason why aliens from different planets would all be similar sizes. Imagine 6ā€³ tall aliens being in the general vicinity of lots of other alien worlds but never bothering to get spaceflight together to meet them bc theyā€™d just get stepped on

But they still GalaxySkype with them all the time and do friendly knowledge transfers, and the Smols are very friendly and happy to upload info on all the unique flora on their homeworld

And some Larges discover that the Smols are having problems because thereā€™s not much of some certain element on their planet and theyā€™re running out andā€¦Ā ā€œa lotā€ to them is so little, the Larges offer to send over like a storage podā€™s worth and the Smols are likeĀ ā€œ:OOO WE CANNOT AFFORDā€

The Larges would be likeĀ ā€œno no it is okay, it is not much to us. It can maybe be written off on our Space Taxes? Do not worry about itā€

And the Larges insist on sending the storage pod to a large flat area like half a dayā€™s travel outside of the nearest Smol city because they are so worried that if they did their landing calculations wrong they will incite a small quake that will cause tiny buildings to topple

The Smols trek out and are overjoyed at the enormous metal box full of conveniently-small bars of metal. They empty it out and transform it into a multi-level museum dedicated to interplanetary unity and their special friends the Larges. They take and send pictures of tiny Smols in school groups wandering through the halls and learning about the nice space giants that made their prosthetic tentacles possible

I LEARNED RECENTLY THAT PLATO WON THE GOLD MEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS FOR WRESTLING THREE TIMES. THIS PUTS A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS. I ALWAYS IMAGINED PLATO TO BE FRAIL AND MISSHAPEN BUT HE MUST HAVE BEEN FRICKEN RIPPED. I WONDER IF ARISTOTLE EVER FELT ANXIETY ABOUT GETTING PHYSICALLY (I.E. NOT JUST METAPHYSICALLY) DISMANTLED BY PLATO. PLATO WAS PROBABLY PISSED OFF BY AT LEAST A HANDFUL OF QUESTIONS ARISTOTLE ASKED HIM. ARISTOTLE WAS A LITERAL GENIUS TOO. IMAGINE PLATO LECTURING AND WRITING ON A BLACKBOARD AND ARISTOTLE THROWING A COMMENT OUT THERE ABOUT SOME COMPLEX MISSTEP IN PLATOā€™S LOGIC AND PLATOā€™S CHALK JUST SNAPS AND ARISTOTLEā€™S TESTICLES SUCK WAY BACK UP TO WHERE THEY DROPPED FROM, THEN PLATO IN A BLUR APPEARS BESIDE ARISTOTLE SITTING AT HIS DESK AND HE PICKS HIM UP AND SUPLEXES HIS MACEDONIAN ASS.

This needs to be a comic.

given the content of a lot of Platoā€™s conclusions I wouldnā€™t be surprised to learn that Plato responded to a lot of reasonable criticisms with ā€œFight meā€ and that was the end of it.

Weā€™re not actually sure whether Plato is his real name! Some people speculate that, because Platon meansĀ ā€œbroadā€ in Greek, this was actually his wrestling nick name. Basically, itā€™s like Dwayne Johnson became a famous philosopher and everyone still called himĀ ā€œThe Rockā€.

Can we have a movie about Plato starring Dwayne Johnson?

You canā€™t convince me that wouldnā€™t be the best thing ever.

I didnā€™t know I needed this until now. If someone can write a decent screenplay, and we get enough people to talk about it, maybe heā€™ll actually see it and we can kickstart the shit out of it

Platoā€™s name is literally just the Ancient Greek for ā€˜Swolā€™ how is this the real life
