#scarathlon Photo Challenge Day 19: #graves

From First Kill: I never made it past the first couple episodes of this Netflix V.E. Schwab adaption, which is basically where the short story ends. I remember the graveyard fight in the story and show pretty well, though.

5feet.of.fury The series was a mess 😅 I wanted to like it, but I did not. 6mo

Robert Graves was an interesting guy. A soldier in WWI, a poet at heart, he wrote his most famous work because he needed money. It worked and he was able to buy a house and live in Majorica for the remainder of his life. Of which I am very jealous.

Greek Gods and Heroes | Robert Graves

Mehso-so

An easy collection of myth stories, a la Edith Hamilton, but much of this conflicts with other versions (like, ALL versions) I‘m familiar with - and I‘m not new to this game. For instance, Athena was found wandering as a child and Zeus just decided to claim her and made up the head-springing story, but Poseidon also tried to claim parentage? Um, that‘s different. It was worth the $.25 I paid for it.

Clare-Dragonfly Wow. Very strange. I‘ve thought of Graves as one of the big names in Greek mythology for English readers. 🤔 And inconsistent mythology is one thing (of course there wil be different stories over many years) but trying to make it fit with the known myth by saying Zeus made up that story? So weird. 3y
ravenlee @Clare-Dragonfly right? This is from 1960. I need to check the vintage on his other works (I have a few on my shelves but haven‘t read them). Maybe there‘s an evolution? 3y

Leftcoastzen That‘s always been a favorite! 4y
gradcat @Leftcoastzen Oddly enough, I‘d never heard it before...or if I did, I didn‘t remember it. But it‘s very funny, I think, especially considering the author. Thanks for reading & stopping by! ♥️♥️♥️ 4y

It‘s a windy, rainy, miserable Halloween, but my neighborhood decided not to postpone Trick-or-treating, so Olive and I are here ready to pass out candy. I‘m not expecting a crowd, so I brought my book. 💀 🎃 👻 Happy Halloween, all!

Buechersuechtling Love your picture. Olive looks a bit like there are VIPs to come. Love that‼️ 4y

rretzler Welcome to Litsy! 📖 I absolutely love Flavia and this series. I have all the books as ebooks and your pic makes me want the paper versions too! 5y
Eggs Welcome to Litsy 🤗🌸 5y
emz711 @rretzler I decided on paperback instead of hardcover for my wallet's sake but both are super colorful on a shelf! 5y
rretzler I can‘t ever wait for the paper - I‘m too impatient to read them. That‘s why I buy the ebooks! 🤣 5y
emz711 @rretzler I request from the library for the new one. First person on hold every time! 5y
