“My God, my God, whose performance am I watching? How many people am I? Who am I? What is this space between myself and myself?”
— Fernando Pessoa, from The Book of Disquiet (via paper-fairy)

Achilles: Marry you, fuck Antilochus, and kill Agamemnon.
Agamemnon: What the fuck? I wasn’t even one of the options?

Norse mythology from A to Z:
[E] - Eostre, according to the stories, is a goddess associated with flowers and springtime.
Eostre first makes her appearance in literature about thirteen hundred years ago in the Venerable Bede’s Temporum Ratione. Bede tells us that April is known as Eostremonath, and is named for a goddess that the Anglo-Saxons honored in the spring.
Interestingly, Eostre doesn’t appear anywhere in Germanic mythology, and despite assertions that she might be a Norse deity, she doesn’t show up in the poetic or prose Eddas either. However, she could certainly have belonged to some tribal group in the Germanic areas, and her stories may have just been passed along through oral tradition.
