Ovid’s Metamorphoses #082/111: “Nestor’s Tale of the Centaurs”

What this project is about.  

This one is from Book 12.

How long it took to read this (aloud): 26mins 32s

What it’s “about”: a very very bloody and graphic Centaur versus humans fight (which the centaurs started) at a wedding.  Grim stuff.

Words I didn’t know: None

Quotable quotes: Gruesome shit. Only gruesome shit. Then stuff about Hercules being an a-hole.

How it lands to my eco-sensibility: xx

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

This is the longest section in Metamorphoses (so far) – longer than Phaethon’s Ride, and less fun.
