Want to change your URL, but you're worried about the amount of time it will take to update all those links on your masterlist? Well, fret no more! Below the cut is a simple way to update your masterlist, no matter how many links you need to update.
(This way was originally shown to me in 2020 by the wonderful @murdock-and-the-sea)
Okay so first thing obviously is to change your URL by going to Edit Appearance on desktop and changing it here:
Once you have done that, all the links to your masterlist will now be broken, so the next thing you will need to do is click the Edit Theme button below:
Once you have done that you will get to this screen:
Find the link for your masterlist, and change the tumblr url to your new one and then click save. Now you will be able to access your main masterlist from the link in your bio.
Then...
Once you're in your masterlist, click on the edit button, and once the editable document is open, click on the little wheel on the top right of the screen and change Text Editor from Rich Text to HTML, and you should get a wall of text come up like this:
(Don't worry about any images or formatting when this happens, it's all safe)
Now you should open up something like the Notes or Word or something like that, and copy and paste the HTML Code onto that. To be safe, make sure you save this so you don't lose it. Once you've done that, do CTRL H so you get a Find and Replace box like this:
In the Find box, put your old URL, and in the Replace box, put your new URL, and then click Replace All.
Once that is done, copy and paste this back into your masterlist, and change it back to Rich Text. Your Masterlist with all it's images and formatting should come back up as normal, and then press save! Now, you should be able to access each link on your main masterlist (I would check on desktop by clicking each link, this usually cements it in place as it doesn't always immediately show on mobile for some reason, but as long as it works on desktop it's fine).
Now, you'll need to repeat this process for each individual masterlist you have, so if you have several character or fandom specific masterlists, you'll need to update each of them individually, and if you have any series's on any of the masterlists, you will need to repeat it for that as well, but ultimately, this is the quickest and simplest way to change your URL and update links!
As someone who's used this method four times, I can tell you it's taken me a maximum of twenty minutes to update my masterlist (and that was when I had a much bigger masterlist with over ten series on my old blog)
I hope this helps anyone that wants to change their URL and has been too scared to! As someone who went from the ugliest URL ever (suz-123, I hated it) I was immensely grateful to find this way to do it <3

I was today years old when I learned that when you type "otp: true" in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship
the upcoming update
How to update:
BACKUP your saves !
update the game so that you don't have your whole Mods folder in but move mods, tray and saves to a safe place and update.
clear caches, old last exception files and anything that does not belong in the game files.
once updated start the game vanilla with no mods, let the game generate new save, tray and mods folders.
In game make a vanilla sim , move them to vanilla lot , play a while and save the game and exit.
Do not put ANY MODS in your game until you are sure they are UPDATED!
Put your mods back in game and test them with that vanilla save.
Start with visual overhauls, lighting mods etc..
Add big mods like MCCC, UI cheats etc..
Then smaller mods and always make sure you have the udpated versions
Lastly add your defaults
then other cc and do not dump everything in there at once, but try to put them in smaller patches
and with every mod or folder of cc you add, test the gameplay with your vanilla household.
Once you are sure you have all mods working and udpated you want you can move back your Saves and Tray from the safe place you put them.
Do not go on and about harassing modders to fix their mods, this is a big udpate, updating lot of functions from the base game and other packs. Some mods might break a lot some less, so give modders time to fix their mods and don't be an ass about it.
This way you can update safely and you don't have to be worrying of the possible bugs the udpate gives (remember time moving in cas bug, instant getting older bug) and possibly corrupt your save file with a broken mod. You can spend few days with the vanilla save to make sure everything works as it should.

Guide to scam spotting
so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post
so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.
for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).
so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations
the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags
replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm
reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least
general rules of thumb:
when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.
the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug
if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags
also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day
teaching yourself how to deal with mildly annoying inconveniences is imo an essential part of treating the disabled people around you with compassion and no i'm not kidding
Graveyard Etiquette🪦
Before you go protect yourself you don't want a spirit attached to you.
Bring coins as offerings to the gatekeepers.
Bring with you offering for the spirits (food, water, flowers ect...) and leave it by a tree or away from the headstones for the spirits.
Make sure you don't step on anyone and apologiz if you do by accident.
Clean up neglected tombstones.
Ask before you take dirt. Use your intuition or divination to get a response.
Don’t take anything that is left for the dead.
Don't leave trash behind and if you find trash clean it.
Leave the way you came.
tip jar
Do you have a more up to date link for a hacked spotify for android? I found your post from 2022 but the link doesn't have a version that's up to date with the version of spotify I have.
Thanks 💚
Not exactly. I actually don't use the hacked Spotify app anymore. I prefer Spotube, a free open-source app that interfaces directly with the Spotify web API. It also let's you download songs and albums directly, which the hacked app didn't do!
Overall Spotube is more stable, trustworthy (because the code source is open and community-audited), and will never be at risk Spotify patching the hack or disabling your account for violating terms of service, because it uses 100% legal software.
(P.S. the first link leads to F-Droid, an alternative app store for free, community-driven, open-source apps. That's where you can also download NewPipe, my favorite ad-free youtube app.)
Piracy 101 for beginners
Hello friends, it is I, your favourite anti-capitalist. After a lot of interest from people looking to get into piracy, I have compiled a guide for anyone who wants to become a pirate but doesn't know where to start. This is a long post, so I'm gonna put a cut here, but if you want to find out, keep reading!
This information is all up to date as of September 2023.
OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: all of this stuff is from my personal experience with torrenting, but please use your own common sense - piracy is a crime in many parts of the world, please stay safe and be careful.
Always remember that PIRACY IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Okay, boring stuff over - let's get started! I'm going to try and be as comprehensive as I can and there is an FAQ section at the end, but do feel free to send me an ask if you want something clarified!
Before you begin
Before stepping foot on your pirate ship, there are a few safety things you need to know about. These are essential because they'll keep you and your computer safe when pirating.
VPN. This is the single most important thing that you need. Basically, when you connect to the internet, your device is given a fancy little number by your WiFi network that basically shows your location - this is called an IP address. Now, if you're doing something a Little Bit Dodgy, you don't want people to know where you are and which network you're connected to. This is where a VPN comes in. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and what it does is basically makes a private little bubble by encrypting your connection and routing it through a different server in a different country, hiding your IP address and keeping you safe (overly simplified but that's more or less it). Basically, your IP address will say you're in Japan when you're actually in England. Deception! There are a lot of VPNs on the market, and a lot of them are paid, but if you're broke like me, Proton VPN is completely free, has really fast servers, and it's super secure!
A good adblocker. A lot of sites are full of pop-ups, trackers and spammy viruses, so an adblocker is a must. If you're on Firefox or Chrome, uBlock Origin is an amazing free extension that does the job. For Safari, I recommend AdGuard (or, y'know, switching to Firefox).
Okay, so you're all VPN'd up, connected and adblocked. What next?
From my personal experiences, there are two main types of piracy: online piracy and torrenting. Also, please note that usually, I pirate films, so I'm not the most knowleadgable about software/music piracy, but I'll try to be all-encompassing.
Online Piracy
Online piracy is kind of like Piracy Lite. I'm calling it online piracy because it's using the regular internet (clearnet) to access sites which provide films/books/files over the Internet. This kind of piracy is usually more accessible, and there's a strong chance you've already partaken in it!
Online piracy for films
You're probably familiar with sites like hdtoday.tv for watching free movies - they're something of an open secret. The way sites like this work is that the actual video files are stored on external servers - that is, they're not on your computer, they're on some server somewhere else. The website is basically just a viewer that allows the video files to be relayed over the internet to be watched on your laptop. Online piracy is more about access than owning.
Pros
Really accessible. You don't need any other applications or anything fancy - just open the site and watch!
Online piracy streaming sites are not actually illegal. Yep, you heard that right. There's a lovely loophole in the law that defines piracy as the downloading and distributing of copyrighted content. Because on piracy streaming sites, you are simply viewing the media, and not downloading it or sharing it, and also because the sites are readily accessible, you have plausible deniability and are not breaking any laws!
Instant relay. Instead of waiting for a download, online piracy allows you to start watching immediately.
Relatively high quality files. Usually, the videos are pretty good quality (expect about 720p) and there aren't any weird unremovable Mongolian pop-ups.
Subtitles. Online streaming sites are usually really good with a large selection of subtitles in different languages.
What you see is what you get. You don't have to wait for a download only to find it was corrupted - usually, defective files are spotted and replaced pretty quickly and if they're not, they usually have multiple servers that you can switch to.
Lightweight. These sites don't usually use too much bandwidth, and as long as you have a decent internet connection, you should be good.
Cons
Buffering. This is probably the single most annoying thing about these sites - if your internet connection dips, the video will buffer. You don't need to worry about this if you have fiber-optic super-speed connection of whatever, but it makes watching things pretty infuriating sometimes.
Loading issues. See above - it's prettty annoying to try to skip to a certain point in a film or scrub back, because the file sometimes just won't load.
Pop-ups. Usually, an adblocker will take care of these, but these sites can be buggy and full of re-directs/ads/hot singles in your area.
Quality. 720p files are fine if you're watching a film on a laptop, but if you want to have a movie night on a big screen or a projector, it's going to be a little underwhelming.
Annoying mirror sites. Because of the dubious legality of the sites, oftentimes the same site will have lots of mirrors (remember, the site itself is only a skeleton viewer to play the files, so the sites don't vary much one to another). Oftentimes, certain mirrors wil be added and deleted meaning you might have to hop around different sites, which is annoying.
Torrenting
Torrenting is probably what you think of when you think of piracy - file-sharing and strange documents and downloading things. I know this all sounds scary, but it really isn't! Torrenting is simply another way of file sharing - instead of downloading from a single source, torrenting is using an internet protocol called BitTorrent that basically allows multiple users to share little pieces of a file with each other, which allows really large files such as film files to be transferred efficiently.
Torrenting is a bit more complicated, so here's your crash course if you want to get into it.
VERY IMPORTANT: Turn on your VPN. This keeps your identity private because torrenting, unlike online streaming, is very much Frowned Upon. Most VPNs have a kill switch, which means that if the VPN connection dips, you'll be disconnected from the Internet temporarily so your address isn't leaked - I'd recommend turning this on.
To use the BitTorret protocol, you need to get an application that can run it - this is called a torrent client. I'd recommend Vuze, but there are lots to choose from and they all do essentially the same thing - plus, they're all free!
Then, you're going to want to find a torrent site. The most popular one is obviously the Pirate Bay. Look for whatever file you want.
You'll often be met with lots of different copies of the file you want, which can be confusing, so here's how you choose the right one.
Let's say I want to watch The Empire Strikes Back.
Wow, that's a lot of files. How do I choose? Well, if you look at the right of the table, you'll see a column that says SE. This stands for seeds - this refers to the number of computers ready to upload pieces of the file to you. A high number of seeds means that there are more people to give bits of the file to you, so it'll download faster. So if it's May the 4th and you're determined to watch Empire, you should go with the top file with 216 seeds. High-quality files are labelled as such, so just find the type you need and pick the one with the most seeds.
Once you click on the file, you'll be redirected to a magnet link. This is basically just a link that tells your torrent client to start getting the file, and the link should open the application automatically.
That's it! Your file should start loading in the torrent client. Once it's done, most torrent clients will create a folder in your hard drive where you can find your downloaded files and some even let you watch within the application. Congratulations - you've earned your pirate hat.
Pros
That file is yours forever. That's right - once it's on your hardrive, no-one can take it from you, ever.
No buffering! Because the file is downloaded locally, there's no lagging, pausing, buffering, skipping or glitching - just press play!
High-quality files. You can pirate in 720p, 1080p, even 4k, meaning that if you have a 4k projector or home cinema, you don't need to sacrifice quality.
Not reliant on internet - you can download movies for planes, take them to the top of Mount Everest, whatever.
Easy viewing experience. No ads, no pop-ups, no browsers, sites, glitches, lags, anything. All you need is some kind of media player and you're set.
Cons
Downloads could take time. If your WiFi is slow, then torrents can take a really long time to download, which is annoying. If you have good WiFi and a lot of seeds, it shouldn't be bad, but it's nowhere near instant.
Corrupted/broken files. There is a chance you will download a file and it'll have yellow ads for an Indian scooter company all over it.
Can't view the file in advance - see the above, you don't know if it's the right one or not until you have it.
Higher risk of something going wrong. Given the higher number of moving parts in torrenting, there are far more things that can go wrong, like broken magnet links or corrupted files.
Frequently asked questions
I'm worried about viruses/malware/etc.
This is probably the number one thing that's asked when it comes to piracy (particularly torrenting). To answer this, it's worth noting how viruses and spyware works. A virus is an executable file - i.e. it's a bit of code - that, once downloaded, messes up your computer in various ways. Basically, it's a file that makes your computer do something. Video files like mp4s are... well, very much not that. Video files are just files containing information that your computer displays, and no programs or files to run. That means that if you download an mp4 file, you cannot get a virus from it because it's just technically not possible. However, it's worth noting that if you're ever expecting a video file from a torrent and get something ending in .exe or similar instead, then don't open it - always make sure you know what you're expecting so you know if there's a possibility of a virus. On the other hand, this is very much a higher risk when pirating things like software or video games, that do contain executable files, so be careful. I'm not the most experienced in that arena, but if you're just sticking to films, you don't have anything to worry about.
Oh no, my VPN disconnected whilst I was torrenting! Are people going to come to my house and arrest me?
If your IP address is accidentally revealed for two or three seconds whilst you're connecting to the internet, don't panic, because nothing will happen to you. As long as your IP address is hidden most of the time, a two-second blip isn't going to matter. This isn't to say don't use a VPN - please, always use a VPN whilst torrenting - but no one's going to come to your house if you accidentally turn your VPN off for a moment. Put it this way - the Internet is really big, and the anti-piracy people don't have the time or the need to monitor every single person, so as long as you don't do anything attention-arising, just re-connect as quickly as you can and keep going about your day. That said - the longer you stay disconnected, the higher you are at risk, so just be careful.
Where should I store my downloaded files? They're really big and taking up space.
A 1080p movie file can easily be up to 5GB, and 4K movies can up to 100GB. These can fill up space real quick, so I would suggest investing in a solid state external hard drive. They've become very inexpensive and you can get a very large amount of storage in a small, portable drive that you can keep safe and full of your files. I have a 2TB drive that I use for my film work that does just fine with storing my torrented files.
What happens if I get caught?
The big, scary question, and I'm not gonna lie, I don't have a definitive answer. The first thing is that this will obviously vary depending on where you live, but still, I think that piracy often has a lot of over-blown paranoia about it. Copyright infringement lawsuits and the like are often reserved for really major offendors - think large-scale businesses and corporations. I highly doubt that you, as an individual consumer, would be a high priority on the prosecution list. I'm going to say that probably the worst thing that you'll get hit with is some sort of fine, but you won't be sent to jail or anything unless you decide to hack the CIA or something. This is why VPNs are so important - they'll ensure that you won't have to worry about this.
Concluding notes & more resources
Thank you for making it this far! I hope you found this guide helpful and that you have fun sailing the high seas. Once again, if you have any questions, my askbox is always open. Piracy and torrenting is, at its core, about community and sharing, and there's a great group of people online to connect with. The Reddit r/piracy subreddit also has a really good megathread of more resources, and the best way to learn more is honestly learn from others.
Happy pirating!
¡Buenos días!, @ironspdr6700, muchas gracias por mencionarme porque ha sido una presentación exquisita y gracias por poner en conocimiento de la comunidad hispanohablante este surtido de traducciones, ¡muchísimas gracias por este regalo!.
Por lo que me doy cuenta es que estas traducciones son más castellanas que hispanoamericanas, ¿no?, exceptuando la mexicana; la reiteración de Troya como un alcázar (construcción defensiva del periodo andalusí y de los reinos cristianos en España) es un símil muy castellano, mientras que en las dos últimas el símil de ciudadela y castillo ya son más generales y no tan regionalizadas.
Yo solo tengo dos traducciones, una en digital de Segalá y otra de Juan Alarcón Benito en físico; con la preferencia de los españoles a utilizar el nombre romano, concuerdo; mi traducción siempre dice Ulises no Odiseo porque está más arraigado en la cultura mediática y general Ulises que Odiseo. Aunque no lo parezca en España si hay un pequeño, tímido sentimiento romano, (apreciación no fanatismo), además que muchas bases de España se asientan en el legado romano, por lo que es bastante común el uso del latín en edificios, nombres (castellanizados eso sí), etc...; se nota la influencia griega (sobretodo en la costa mediterránea) pero no es nada comparada a la romana o árabe, (postres: canela, azúcar de caña y almendra son propios de la cocina árabe).
Para mi los arcaísmos no suelen ser problema a menos que el arcaismo en cuestión no sea antigua y haya sido invención reciente (los he visto y no hay por donde entenderlos) o no describan una realidad anterior y sea una forma de pretencionosmo e intelectualismo pretencioso.
Yo leí en su día alguna novela española (un poco tediosas a mi parecer a veces) y si parece que la velocidad de la traducción de José Luis Calvo se acerca pero no puedo afirmar con certeza porque hace ya mucho tiempo de eso.
Carlos García Gual (2005). Esta versión en prosa la tengo pendiente, pero le tengo muchas esperanzas. Este traductor es uno de los mejores helenistas de la actualidad y ha publicado un gran número de libros estudiando la cultura griega, sobre todo la mitología griega, tanto para especializados en literatura como para el público general (si tienen la oportunidad de leer su Prometeo: mito y tragedia)
No te preocupes que intentaré leerla si puedo, me interesa muchísimo poder profundizar más en la cultura helénica y también en la prehelénica y también tengo un par de amigos que quiero arrastrar conmigo en esta obsesión mía pero que no quiero agobiarles con el Ciclo Troyano y creo que sería la mejor alternativa.
Aún así reitero, muchísimas gracias por mencionarnos, por esta información de verdad, por tu labor a la comunidad hispanohablante y deseo que tengas un buen día/buena noche, ¡un abrazo desde España!.
Los traductores de la Odisea al español
Este post, está dedicado a @rubynrut (gracias por tu fanart de Nausicaa), @iroissleepdeprived @perroulisses y @aaronofithaca05 porque nunca pensé que habría tantos fanáticos de la Odisea en español en Tumblr además de mí. Así que decidí hacer un repaso de las muchas traducciones que me he encontrado.
El listado lo saqué del libro Voces de largos ecos: Invitación a leer los clásicos de Carlos García Gual. Aunque la primera traducción al español de la Odisea fue en 1556 (titulada "La Ulixea" porque en España siempre han preferido el nombre romano de Odiseo), me quedaré con las versiones publicadas desde el siglo XX.
Luis Segalá (1910). Esta es la más difundida por todo el Internet. Segalá se tomó el trabajo de toda una vida de traducir en prosa la Ilíada, la Odisea y los Himnos Homéricos en prosa, lo que inició un nuevo interés entre los académicos castellanos por la poesía griega arcaica. Es, probablemente, la traducción más directa y literal del griego, pero personalmente creo que le hace perder la fuerza del texto. Sin embargo, Segalá debe ser el mejor que ha sabido traducir los epítetos con mayor impacto (mi favorito: Hijo de Laertes del linaje de Zeus, Odiseo fecundo en ardides) y su traducción de la Ilíada hasta ahora me parece insuperable.
Háblame, Musa, de aquel varón de multiforme ingenio que, después de destruir la sacra ciudad de Troya, anduvo peregrinando larguísimo tiempo, vió las poblaciones y conoció las costumbres de muchos hombres y padeció en su ánimo gran número de trabajos en su navegación por el ponto, en cuanto procuraba salvar su vida y la vuelta de sus compañeros a la patria.
Fernando Gutiérrez (1953). Esta es mi versión en verso favorita. Gutiérrez se basó en la traducción de Segalá y, usando versos de 16 sílabas, intentó hacer una imitación del hexámetro dactílico. El ritmo le confiere una musicalidad preciosa a la obra y la potencia que se pierde en Segalá.
Habla, Musa, de aquel hombre astuto que erró largo tiempo después de destruir el alcázar sagrado de Troya, del que vio tantos pueblos y de ellos su espíritu supo, de quien tantas angustias vivió por los mares, luchando por salvarse y por salvar a los hombres que lo acompañaban
José Luis Calvo (1976). Esta es la más interesante que me he encontrado. En esta ocasión, Calvo empezó con una invocación a la Musa en verso:
Cuéntame, Musa, la historia del hombre de muchos senderos, que anduvo errante muy mucho después de Troya sagrada asolar; vió muchas ciudades de hombres y conoció su talante, y dolores sufrió sin cuento en el mar tratando de asegurar la vida y el retorno de sus compañeros.
Pero el resto de la obra la traduce en prosa, tratando de darle una velocidad amena intentando, según él, imitar una novela española moderna (no he leído ninguna de esas. así que no tengo con que comparar), pero creo que lo consigue estupendamente.
Ello es que todos los demás, cuantos habían escapado a la amarga muerte, estaban en casa, dejando atrás la guerra y el mar. Sólo él estaba privado de regreso y esposa, y lo retenía en su cóncava cueva la ninfa Calipso, divina entre las diosas, deseando que fuera su esposo.
José Manuel Pabón (1982). Una versión en verso, rítmica en dáctilos acentuales. Esta es muy respetada por los académicos, aunque tiene demasiados arcaísmos para mi gusto y hay pasajes donde creo que el ritmo hace perder la narración, cosa que me decepciona porque la Odisea es el precedente de la novela moderna, pero cuando encaja, encaja con toda la belleza posible
Musa, dime del hábil varón que en su largo extravío, tras haber arrasado el alcázar sagrado de Troya, conoció las ciudades y el genio de innúmeras gentes. Muchos males pasó por las rutas marinas luchando por sí mismo y su vida y la vuelta al hogar de sus hombres
Carlos García Gual (2005). Esta versión en prosa la tengo pendiente, pero le tengo muchas esperanzas. Este traductor es uno de los mejores helenistas de la actualidad y ha publicado un gran número de libros estudiando la cultura griega, sobre todo la mitología griega, tanto para especializados en literatura como para el público general (si tienen la oportunidad de leer su Prometeo: mito y tragedia). Me encanta como se expresa, especialmente hablando de los poemas homéricos (vean un video con una de sus conferencias en Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C70tFKnMZ9o&pp=ygUSY2FybG9zIGdhcmNpYSBndWFs)
Háblame, Musa, del hombre de múltiples tretas que por muy largo tiempo anduvo errante, tras haber arrasado la sagrada ciudadela de Troya, y vio las ciudades y conoció el modo de pensar de numerosas gentes. Muchas penas padeció en alta mar él en su ánimo, defendiendo su vida y el regreso de sus compañeros.
Pedro C. Tapia Zuñiga (2013). Hecho para la colección de clásicos grecolatinos de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México y viene incluido con el poema original en griego. No sé por qué me gusta tanto, si tiene el doble de arcaísmos que la versión de Pabón, pero me encanta con su estilo en verso rítmico.
Del varón muy versátil cuéntame, Musa, el que mucho vagó, después de saquear el sagrado castillo de Troya; de muchos hombres vio las ciudades y supo su ingenio, y él sufrió en su alma muchos dolores dentro del ponto, aferrado a su vida y al retorno de sus compañeros.
reminder since we're gettin another wave of bots:
if you don't distinguish yourself from a bot, just any sorta indication that a human made the blog, like a funny pfp or description, or even a disclaimer that you're a lurker, then you're almost certainly gonna be blocked n reported for spam when you follow people
