double dactyl classics
Oct. 10th, 2015 07:48 pmI just started a new tumblr blog, possibly to become a group blog, mainly because I liked the sound of "poikily throikily" (*).
The first post is an adaptation of Sappho, fr. 1(**) into double dactyls.
Any of my friends here with a tumblr who want to contribute comic-verse adaptations and translations of reasonably well-known literature, hit me up, yo.
( For those afraid of offsite links )
(*) A nonsensical corruption of the first Greek word in the poem.
(**) Normally, I'd be annoyed that whoever put together all of those Sappho translations used Comic Sans, but it's appropriate enough in this context.
