56:29 | Question from marisa2381 - My sweet babies are going back to daycare but all the staff have to wear masks. I get it, but I’m sooo worried about their language development and social development not being able to see people’s faces! Are you sending yours back to school? |
59:21 | Question from Scondy42 - Hi Felicia, I got your new book for Christmas this year. I was so excited to dive in, but then quarantine ennui hit me HARD and I stopped doing much of anything except sewing masks and freaking out. I'm in a much healthier place now and I want to get back to "Embrace your Weird". Would you recommend starting back at the beginning after a long break or just jumping back in where I left off? Thanks for the pod, discord and just generally being awesome! |

THE HISTORY OF HERODOTUS[]
Book 6, Chapters 129-130*:[]
129. Then when the appointed day came for the marriage banquet and for Cleisthenes himself to declare whom he selected from the whole number, Cleisthenes sacrificed a hundred oxen and feasted both the wooers themselves and all the people of Sikyon; and when the dinner was over, the wooers began to vie with one another both in music and in speeches for the entertainment of the company; and as the drinking went forward and Hippocleides was very much holding the attention of the others, he bade the flute-player play for him a dance-measure; and when the flute-player did so, he danced: and it so befell that he pleased himself in his dancing, but Cleisthenes looked on at the whole matter with suspicion. Then Hippocleides after a certain time bade one bring in a table; and when the table came in, first he danced upon it Laconian figures, and then also Attic, and thirdly he planted his head upon the table and gesticulated with his legs. Cleisthenes meanwhile, when he was dancing the first and the second time, though he abhorred the thought that Hippocleides should now become his son-in-law, because of his dancing and his shamelessness, yet restrained himself, not desiring to break out in anger against him; but when he saw that he thus gesticulated with his legs, he was no longer able to restrain himself, but said: "Thou hast danced away thy marriage however, son of Tisander!" and Hippocleides answered and said: "Hippocleides cares not!"
130. and hence comes this saying.
