DONE! My translation is just a wee bit different than Fagles and Lombardo.

"Next, [Bellerophon] fought against the renowned Solymi, who were renowed in battle in the past. Thus, at any rate, it was said to be the strongest battle he had ever entered into. And thus furthermore, lastly, he slew the Amazons, who were a match for men."

And yes, if my translation sounds FORMAL, that's because Homeric Greek is FORMAL!

Parler des bâtards du Moyen âge
#histoire #Histodon

"Au Moyen Âge, le terme « bâtard » ne vaut pas toujours stigmatisation. D’ailleurs, il n’acquiert une pleine valeur d’insulte qu’à partir du XIXe siècle. Par le passé, les expériences sociales de filiations illégitimes sont bien plus complexes qu’on ne l’imagine aujourd’hui, ainsi que le met en évidence le programme de recherche « Filiations, identité, altérité médiévales »."⤵️⤵️

Another passion of mine is the history of #Çatalhöyük site - and whether or not it had a #MatriachalSociety!

Ancient city possibly ruled by females living in a "matriarchal society" more than 9,000 years ago, researchers say

By Cara Tabachnick
June 28, 2025

Excerpt: "We need to move away from our Western bias that assumes all societies are #patrilineal. Many cultures, including some #IndigenousAustralian groups, pass identity, land rights, and responsibilities through the mother's line — a #matrilineal system,' study co-author Dr. Eline Schotsmans, a research fellow at Australia's University of Wollongong's School of Science, said in a statement.

"These findings come several months after researchers studying social networks in #CelticSociety in Britain before the #RomanInvasion gathered genetic evidence from a late Iron Age cemetery and found that women were closely related, while unrelated men tended to come into the community from elsewhere, likely after marriage.

"Using an examination of ancient DNA recovered from 57 graves in #Dorset in southwest England, their study, published in the journal Nature, shows that two-thirds of the individuals were descended from a single maternal lineage. This suggests that women had some control of land and property, as well as strong social support, researchers said.

"Researchers said upon the release of their findings, 'It is possible that maternal ancestry was the primary shaper of group identities.' "

I am well-armed with all of my notes from class as well as my trusty Duckworth Homeric Dictionary! And, of course, there's Perseus Hopper to the rescue! (Thank the gods that website is still working!)

[Thread] So, my "homework" assignment has to do with #Amazons -- one of my favorite topics to focus on (since I was 11 years old). I was recently gifted a new book about Amazons, and also had one that I picked up for myself years ago, but hadn't gotten around to reading yet. The books are: "The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women Across The Ancient World" by Adrienne Mayor (2014), and "Amazons: The History Behind the Legend" by David Braund. Both of them are Classics scholars, but they seem to have completely different takes on Amazons (from what I've read in the reviews). And yes, I am planning on diving into both books, but first, I'm going to work on my own translations of certain passages in #TheIlliad and #Herodotus' "Histories"!

Wir haben einen Hinweis Online gefunden, dass beim Verein Guts Muts Dresden, Hedwig Raabe, Schäferstraße 40b, eine Frauenfußball Abteilung gründen wollte. Der Aufruf hierzu stand am 10.05.1914 in den Dresdner Nachrichten.
Online kommen wir weder über Namen noch Adresse weiter.
Jemand von euch noch Ideen oder vor Ort um mal physisch in Zeitungen zu schauen?

Another article about #Switchel I found...

Make Your Own Refreshing Summertime Drink

by Catherine Boeckmann
April 4, 2024

"Switchel, also known as Haymaker’s Punch, is a refreshing drink with apple cider vinegar. It was how colonial farmers quenched their thirst in the hot, sunbaked fields—which is enough of an endorsement for me!

"Switchel, a refreshing and ancient beverage, combines the goodness of ginger, apple cider vinegar, and sweeteners like molasses and maple syrup. Known for its hydrating properties, this tangy elixir boasts a unique flavor profile, making it a wholesome and natural alternative to sugary drinks. Enjoyed for centuries, switchel is a timeless, revitalizing choice.

This drink is also called Haymaker’s Punch because it was often drunk while haying—which is hard work under the hot summer sun!"
