Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Hey! I was really into Greek mythology in middle school. And high school. Even got a minor in college. I even have a set of Greek/Roman mythology tattoos!

Oh wait... I am gay. Fuck.

You're in good company buddy. Don't have the tattoo but I did have one planned. How can they blame us when half the mythological Greeks are just half (at least) naked hunks?

Why, oh why, did the Simpsons not have Flanders own some parcel of meadowland, and have an episode about the events In Flanders Fields?

TIL I'm gay? I actually carried around a copy of D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths in my backpack, and I have basically zero attraction to other men. Then again, I was over it by high school, so maybe that's why I'm not gay.

I love that book. I still have a copy. That said, it is an incredibly sanitized version of what the Greeks actually believed because every bit of the sex is cut out and it's basically 90% sex.
