Frères Krynn

Deux Frères dévoués à la gloire de la France, à sa littérature et à son histoire. Nous aimons aussi la fiction mythique.

Magnifique, ceci, c'est ce que nous appelons la splendeur. J'adore ce genre de monument. Ce n'est pas seulement un monument à Dieu, mais à la France.

What a Church should look like.

The list is a good one. I retract my previous whining about it. Napoleon's inclusion is as a warning against a false King of sorts. Of what ambition with no tether and discipline can do; destroy a nation. Explorer gets full marks here.

Tired of this internet meme.

"There lay the dog Argos, full of fleas. / But when he saw Odysseus standing near, / he wagged his tail and dropped both ears, / though he had no strength left to come closer to his master." - Homer, The Odyssey, Book 17

"At these words, a black cloud of grief shrouded Achilles. Grasping handfuls of dark sand and ash, he poured them over his head and [fair] face, soiling his scented tunic."
Fair or Handsome in this situation refers to someone of blond hair, as Achilles in art and pottery is always portrayed as that and Homer's language was likely meant to convey that.
I finally get @MemoryMedieval 's comments about how when you go without a source like this bentadude did it only makes you (the sourceless person) look dumb.

Du langage très tragique, et triste. Achilles est à côté de lui-même avec du deuil dans cette scène. D'ailleurs, ce qui est fascinant, c'est comment il ne peut pas accepter que Patrocles ait fait son choix, alors il va tuer le vrai héros de l'histoire : Hector.

Cette scène m'apporte toujours aux bords des larmes. J'adore mon chien ; si j'étais séparé de lui pendant un si long moment que ses derniers moments étaient comme cela, je serais beaucoup plus cruel envers les envahisseurs de ma maison que ne l'était Ulysse.

"Yet even so, you would stay here and keep this house with me, and would be immortal, though you longed to see your wife, for whom you pine day after day." - Homer, The Odyssey, Book 5

"You cruel, you gods, and quickest to envy, / since you are jealous if any goddess openly mates with a man, / taking a mortal to her bed." - Homer, The Odyssey, Book 5

[Trad Aesthetics @tradaesthetic1]

C'est très vrai. Le trouble est que nous avons peu de bons hommes et plein d'hommes gentil.

"Men hold me / formidable for guile in peace and war: / this fame has gone abroad to the sky's rim." - Homer, The Odyssey, Book 9

“Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was the daughter of Thingol, a King of Elves upon Middle-earth when the world was young; and she was the fairest maiden that has ever been among all the children of this world."

[Trad Aesthetics @tradaesthetic1]

Because it already has in the past!

[Trad Aesthetics @tradaesthetic1]

This is genuinely one of the most retarded posts on this site. Simply incredible.

[Trad Aesthetics @tradaesthetic1]

On doit retourner...

[Trad Aesthetics @tradaesthetic1]

Je respect ceci. Elle a toute à fait raison. Je suis du même avis vis-à-vis l'histoire et la culture française.

"Mine is a rugged land but good for raising sons— / and I myself, I know no sweeter sight on earth / than a man’s own native country." - Homer, The Odyssey, Book 9
