Monday: Lights!

[scarlet-gryphon.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone! I’m scarlet_gryphon, and I'll be your guest host for the week.

Today’s theme is Lights! Talk about lights of any kind: Did someone see the light? Did they go towards that big light in the sky? Has someone been blinded by science the light? Did someone see someone else in a new light? Prompt away!

Some quick examples:

Stargate Atlantis, Lorne/Parrish, the light of the moon both hides and reveals the truth

Sanctuary, Henry & Tesla, their faces were lit with the otherworldly glow of discovery.


As always, remember to follow the rules:

• Only three prompts from a fandom


• Only five prompts in a row


• If one prompt gets filled you can leave a new one.


• No spoilers in your prompts until a week after airdate/publication


• If your fill contains a spoiler, please warn accordingly and leave space for the spoiler.

Fill, Greek Mythology, Rosy-Fingered Dawn

This is 23254% not what you were expecting. For those who know nothing about the Odyssey it's worth noting that Homer, the author, used stock lines and epithets so that others (who would often sing/read part of the Odyssey from memory at parties) knew where they were. One such line was basically 'rosy-fingered dawn broke'.

~~~

Odysseus snarled at the sun. "I am fed up," he said to his first mate, "of rosy-fucking-fingered dawns. Remember back in Ithaca? We'd get golden dawns, and grey, hazy dawns, and dawns that didn't seem to happen at all because it was raining so hard."

His first mate grimaced and handed him some wine.

"For the last few years, I've woken to a rosy-fingered dawn, some ridiculous obstacle, and half my crew meeting death in a bizarre fashion. I won't stand for it!"

Odysseus faced the sky in belligerent rebellion, but seconds later returned to his hammock with a shout.

"There's no point. My wife will have remarried," he said. "No blue skies of Ithaca for me."

The next day, Circe caught them, and Odysseus stayed.

Thank you, I liked it very much even if it really wasn't, what I expected.
But Odysseus saying "fuck you" is just epic XD

I don't think you should feel bad about this. I giggled a lot.

I remember reading this for English class and wanting to bang my head on something hard. Those epithets where cheesy.
