What this project is about.
This one is from Book 3.
How long it took to read this (aloud): 8 mins 44s
What it’s “about”: Actaeon, seeing too much and suffering the consequences!
Words I didn’t know: none
Quotable quotes:
And filled the cave with sharp falsetto cries
And tried to shield her with their nakedness
… What could he do? Where could
He turn? Go home where a king’s palace waited?
Or make his way into a deeper forest?
Shame unmanned one path and his fears the other.
Jaws deep within his flesh and eating him,
Their master, now misfashioned as a deer.
Some say, not till he died of many wounds
Was angry Goddess of the Arrows pleased.
How it lands to my eco-sensibility: All the dogs get names, and it turns out the hunted does not, in fact, enjoy the “thrill of the chase”
Obvious allusions, ways it was used (that I am aware of already) : xx
What I know I didn’t ‘get’: xx
To my knowledge, who’s used it why/how (RACC): xx
Further research questions: xx
Anything else: xx
