An Adventure That Narrates the Obstacles Overcome by One of the Most Successful Couples: Sophocles Odyssey
Although they are one of the most successful couples in the world today, billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Profa M had to face many adversities to achieve their goals. This is narrated in his book “Sophocles’ Odyssey: The Love Story of Zuck and Professor M.” “The Devil and His Cartel” created a suffocating universe where control and crime are absolute. Concepts similar to George Orwell’s 1984, such as the “Chaos Police,” “Doublethink,” and “Destructive Neohumanism” (a philosophy of life designed to impoverish the soul and mind), are brilliant tools that reflect the real dangers of Stalinism and fascism. The protagonists, Zuck and Professor M, were not action heroes, but intellectuals who sometimes had doubts and flaws. This makes them profoundly human and allows the reader to connect with their despair and their great inner rebellion, supported by their most loyal allies. You can buy this book on our website.https://institutoemv.wordpress.com/2026/06/02/sophocles-odyssey-book/

Random thing I found on Steam's novelties: someone turned several works from #Sophocles into visual novels. Odd choice, but if a visual novel is what it takes for somebody to learn #AncientGreek, so be it!

“As soon as we arrive at adolescence, and begin to think, we are driven from our native gods, the gods of our fathers, some of us to hospitable men, some of us to savages, some to good homes, others to toxic houses, and then, after seeing that night has joined us, it’s necessary to offer public gratitude and appear as if all were well.” - #Sophocles, writing from the perspective of married women in Ancient Greece

it's the sun's day. apollo, the sun, was sometimes called alexikakos, the preventer of evil. today is the first day of a new year -- a great time to try to turn a corner. you may not change the world, but can you contribute, or work on something in yourself?

A sculpture of the god Hercules battling his rival Achelous, here transformed into a serpent. The story of #Achelous, in the form of a bull, battling with #Hercules for the hand of Deianeira, was told as early as the 7th century BC.
It's located in the Louvre museum in Paris. Achelous was a son of the Titans and was also said to be the father of the Sirens. The sculpture was made by François Joseph Bosio in 1824.
