The Tyrant’s Tomb
“This young woman,” said Diana, “was responsible for the destruction of the Triumvirate’s fleet.”
“Well, I had a lot of help,” Lavinia said.
“I don’t understand,” I said, turning to Lavinia. “You made all those mortars malfunction?”
Lavinia looked offended. “Well, yeah. Somebody had to stop the fleet. I did pay attention during siege-weapon class and ship-boarding class. It wasn’t that hard. All it took was a little fancy footwork.”
Hazel finally managed to pick her jaw off the pavement. “Wasn’t that hard?”
“We were motivated! The fauns and dryads did great.” She paused, her expression momentarily clouding, as if she remembered something unpleasant. “Um…besides, the Nereids helped a lot. There was only a skeleton crew aboard each yacht. Not, like, actual skeletons, but—you know what I mean. Also, look!”
She pointed proudly at her feet, which were now adorned with the shoes of Terpsichore from Caligula’s private collection.
“You mounted an amphibious assault on an enemy fleet,” I said, “for a pair of shoes.”
Lavinia huffed. “Not just for the shoes, obviously.” She tap-danced a routine that would’ve made Savion Glover proud. “Also to save the camp, and the nature spirits, and Michael Kahale’s commandos.”
Hazel held up her hands to stop the overflow of information. “Wait. Not to be a killjoy—I mean, you did an amazing thing!—but you still deserted your post, Lavinia. I certainly didn’t give you permission —”
“I was acting on praetor’s orders,” Lavinia said haughtily. “In fact, Reyna helped. She was knocked out for a while, healing, but she woke up in time to instill us with the power of Bellona, right before we boarded those ships. Made us all strong and stealthy and stuff.”
Hazel asked, “Is it true about Lavinia acting on your orders?”
Reyna glanced at our pink-haired friend. The praetor’s pained expression said something like, I respect you a lot, but I also hate you for being right.
“Yes,” Reyna managed to say. “Plan L was my idea. Lavinia and her friends acted on my orders. They performed heroically.”
Lavinia beamed. “See? I told you.”
The assembled crowd murmured in amazement, as if, after a day full of wonders, they had finally witnessed something that could not be explained.”

“I keeled over sideways.
The world turned fluffy, bleached of all color. Nothing hurt anymore.
I was dimly aware of Diana’s face hovering over me, Meg and Hazel peering over the goddess’s shoulders.
“He’s almost gone,” Diana said.
Then I was gone. My mind slipped into a pool of cold, slimy darkness.
“Oh, no, you don’t.” My sister’s voice woke me rudely.
I’d been so comfortable, so nonexistent.
Life surged back into me—cold, sharp, and unfairly painful. Diana’s face came into focus. She looked annoyed, which seemed on-brand for her.
As for me, I felt surprisingly good. The pain in my gut was gone. My muscles didn’t burn. I could breathe without difficulty. I must have slept for decades.
“H-how long was I out?” I croaked.
“Roughly three seconds,” she said. “Now, get up, drama queen.”
She helped me to my feet. I felt a bit unsteady, but I was delighted to find that my legs had any strength at all. My skin was no longer gray. The lines of infection were gone. The Arrow of Dodona was still in my hand, though he had gone silent, perhaps in awe of the goddess’s presence. Or perhaps he was still trying to get the taste of “Sweet Caroline” out of his imaginary mouth.
I beamed at my sister. It was so good to see her disapproving I-can’t-believe-you’re-my-brother frown again. “I love you,” I said, my voice hoarse with emotion.
She blinked, clearly unsure what to do with this information. “You really have changed.”
“I missed you!”
“Y-yes, well. I’m here now. Even Dad couldn’t argue with a Sibylline invocation from Temple Hill.”
“It worked, then!” I grinned at Hazel and Meg. “It worked!”
“Yeah,” Meg said wearily. “Hi, Artemis.”
“Diana,” my sister corrected. “But hello, Meg.” For her, my sister had a smile. “You’ve done well, young warrior.”
Meg blushed. She kicked at the scattered zombie dust on the floor and shrugged. “Eh.”
I checked my stomach, which was easy, since my shirt was in tatters. The bandages had vanished, along with the festering wound. Only a thin white scar remained. “So…I’m healed?” My flab told me she hadn’t restored me to my godly self. Nah, that would have been too much to expect.
Diana raised an eyebrow. “Well, I’m not the goddess of healing, but I’m still a goddess. I think I can take care of my little brother’s boo-boos.”
“Little brother?”
She smirked.”

“En este país nuestro ha sido tanta la guerra, tanta, soportada por demasiado tiempo, que los vivos ya estamos acostumbrados y los muertos olvidados y no hay quien registre el catálogo. La violencia pesa y pasa, así sin más, pasa y arrasa, y la muerte se ha ido volviendo vida cotidiana.”

“Cientos de aberraciones se daban cita en las entrañas de la ciudad, algunas tan desconocidas para él como la fauna alienígena que podía poblar el planeta más lejano. Allí merodeaban los cadáveres pálidos que se alimentaban del tuétano de sus víctimas; los espectros errantes a la caza siempre de cuerpos que poseer... En las profundidades de Rocavarancolia todavía era posible encontrar a los descendientes de los seres humanos a los que Eradianalavela había injertado almas de bestias; o a los vampiros de Rádix, capaces de succionar la sangre, las vísceras y los huesos de sus víctimas con solo tocarlas; y a criaturas aún más terroríficas que aquellas. Y los peligros no se reducían solo a monstruos: bajo la ciudad había escapes de magia asesina, turbulentas nubes de humo venenoso procedentes de la combustión de residuos mágicos... Descender a las entrañas de Rocavarancolia era buscar una muerte segura.”

“Oh, what can you do with a man like that? What can you do? How can you dissuade his eyes in a crowd from seeking out the cheek with acne, the infirm hand; how can you teach him to respond to the inestimable greatness of the race, the harsh surface beauty of life; how can you put his finger for him on the obdurate truths before which fear and horror are powerless? The sea that morning was iridescent and dark. My wife and my sister were swimming -- Diana and Helen -- and I saw their uncovered heads, black and gold in the dark water. I saw them come out and I saw that they were naked, unshy, beautiful and full of grace, and I watched the naked women walk out of the sea." - story "Goodbye, My Brother”

“Sir Richard Francis Burton was a cross between Indiana Jones and Captain Jack Sparrow, with perhaps a little piece of the warrior-poet Aragorn from Lord of the Rings thrown in for good measure. Or maybe I should rephrase that; all these swashbuckling film heroes, including probably John Rambo, may well have been loosely based on Burton and his life”

“No lleva puesto nada especial, pero está preciosa. Hay algo en ella que la hace irresistiblemente atractiva, y no solo en el sentido romántico. Diana posee una empatía fuera de lo común, un alma capaz de conectar con los corazones más oscuros, a pesar de que el suyo esté lleno de luz. Estar con ella, compartir su tiempo, sus locuras y sus sonrisas, es curativo. Creo que es un regalo. Es tan guapa por fuera como por dentro, e irradia un calor que te hace querer conocerla, desear tenerla como amiga. Es magnética. Y lo que encuentras cuando la conoces es tan adictivo que no quieres perderla jamás”

“The big color television set was on, glowing eerily over the bottles of rye and bourbon, and that was how I happened to witness the event. I saw the two padded figures take their first steps in that airless world, bouncing like toys over the landscape, driving a golf cart through the dust, planting a flag in the eye of what had once been the goddess of love and lunacy. Radiant Diana, I thought, image of what is dark within us. Then the president spoke. In a solemn, deadpan voice he declared this to be the greatest event since the creation of man. The old-timers at the bar laughed when they heard this, and I believe I managed to crack a smile or two myself. But for all the absurdity of that remark, there was one thing no one could challenge: since the day he was expelled from Paradise, Adam had never been this far from home.”

“Sarebbe opportuno creare delle associazioni o delle corporazioni a tutela degli artisti onesti, per salvaguardare gli interessi finanziari di chi produce oggetti fatti a mano, o con le macchine, dai tentacoli delle vendite su larga scala. Per raggiungere questo scopo, è essenziale tendere a una sempre più profonda etica della produzione, a un più profondo senso religioso nella vita quotidiana. Quella dell'artigianato non è solo una questione spirituale: il lavoro, manuale o meccanizzato, volgerà al peggio in mancanza di una preparazione spirituale.”

“Quel che io desidero non è tanto che il visitatore "incontri l'artigiano nel suo ambiente", quanto che egli possa rendersi conto di quale sia (o sia stato) il ruolo dei vari manufatti nella vita quotidiana, traendone idee che arricchiscano la sua vita.
Altro scopo del museo (delle tradizioni popolari del Giappone) è quello di fornire degli spunti per le future produzioni.”

“Poi un giorno il cane non si presentò.
Neville entrò in agitazione. Si era talmente abituato a quelle visite da trasformarle nel centro della sua routine quotidiana, che aveva riorganizzato intorno ai pasti dell'animale, tralasciando le indagini, accantonando tutto il resto, preso com'era dal desiderio di averlo in casa.
Passò il pomeriggio a setacciare il vicinato con i nervi a fior di pelle, chiamandolo a squarciagola. Ma tutte le ricerche furono vane. Rientrò e consumò un pasto insipido. Il cane non si presentò per la cena e neanche per la colazione il mattino dopo. Neville riprese le ricerche, meno speranzoso. L'hanno catturato, quelle parole gli ossessionavano la mente, gli sporchi bastardi l'hanno catturato. Ma non riusciva a crederci fino in fondo. Si rifiutava di rassegnarsi all'idea.
Il pomeriggio del terzo giorno si trovava nel garage quando all'esterno gli arrivò il tintinnio della ciotola di metallo. Trattenendo il fiato uscì alla luce del giorno.
«Sei tornato!» gridò.
Il cane scartò nervosamente allontanandosi dal piatto, con la bocca gocciolante d'acqua.
Il cuore di Neville ebbe un sobbalzo. L'animale aveva gli occhi vitrei e ansimava con la lingua scura penzoloni.
«No» disse, con voce rotta. «Oh, no.»”

The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of Comic Book Heroines
“When DC Comics was trying to figure out how to retool Wonder Woman’s image to make her cooler, they looked at another Diana—Diana Rigg. Rigg had caused a stir as Mrs. Emma Peel when the British TV series The Avengers was imported to the US in 1966. Mrs. Peel defined the heroine of the mod ’60s—brilliant as she was beautiful, witty, champion fencer, martial arts ex-pert, modern artist, crack shot with a pistol, and fearless secret agent. Attired in sleek black leather catsuits or mod body stockings, Emma Peel was a true force to be reckoned with, combining beauty, brains, and power.”

“For the next fortnight Anne writhed or reveled, according to the mood, in her literary pursuits. Now she would be jubilant over a brilliant idea, now despairing because some contrary character would not behave properly. Diana could not understand this.
'Make them do as you want them to,' she said.
'I can't,' mourned Anne. 'Averil is such an unmanageable heroine. She will do and say things I never meant her to. Then that spoils everything that went before and I have to write it all over again.”

La vita fino a te
“Prendersi cura, all'interno di una relazione, non significa proteggersi. Perché in fondo fra due persone che si amano ferirsi è inevitabile, ma è anche un privilegio. Ogni ferita è una finestra che ci mostra la verità, l'irriducibile differenza fra due vite, E quella differenza e un peso difficilissimo da sostenere. Però quel peso e anche ciò che ti salva, che contiene tutto quel che ti serve per affrontare la salita, proprio come uno zaino per un alpinista.
L'amore è piuttosto diventare un'occasione l'uno per l'altra. Quella di comprendere il diverso da noi, quel diverso che però ci portiamo anche dentro. E di riconoscerlo. E di accettarlo. E di impararne il significato, ogni giorno.
Poi è difficile, si sa. Perché a volte è come se lei fosse un'austriaca e tu un giapponese pure un po' rincoglionito. Lei ti piace, tu le piaci, ma rimanete un'austriaca e un giapponese che non parlano le rispettive lingue, e corsi non ce n'é. Si può imparare solo con un'applicazione quotidiana. Tu le insegni le tue parole e lei insegna le sue. Certi giorni, non si capisce il perché, anche dopo anni, ti sembra di dover ricominciare tutto da capo.
Il fatto è che ci hanno convinti che il senso dell'amore dovrebbe stare in quell'essere compresi subito, in un attimo, scarpe e tutto. Non è così.
L'amore non è un'illuminazione, o lo è solo per un istante, per il resto è più una specie di viaggio a bordo di una tartaruga. Ognuno è libero di decidere quando scendere o se restare, per vedere insieme all'altro cosa c'è sulla sponda opposta del fiume. Richiede pazienza, come fare un puzzle senza sapere il disegno che verrà fuori, e la capacità di alimentare il fuoco di una concentrazione costante.
Il problema è che le tartarughe vivono tantissimo e vanno pianissimo, mentre in giro è pieno di gente che ha fretta e sembra non avere più tempo per godersi il panorama.
Che dal guscio di una tartaruga, è risaputo, soprattutto mentre incastri i pezzi di un puzzle, È davvero tutta un'altra cosa.”

“Dove andavano tutti? Da cosa dipendeva la fretta?
Ero invisibile, ma in quel momento non facevo eccezione. Ero non-vista in mezzo ai non-visti. Perché Jared aveva ragione, alla gente non importava del mondo attorno. C'era una ricerca maniacale della routine quotidiana, il bisogno spasmodico di accendere il cellulare, controllare i messaggi, fumare la sigaretta tanto attesa. I vicini di posto venivano scavalcati, erano oggetti scomodi da superare. Là fuori li attendeva un posto nuovo che necessitava di vecchie sicurezze.
È una questione di dipendenze.
Lo capii quel giorno, mentre attendevo pazientemente il mio turno per scendere.
Era dipendenza da distrazione. Lo schermo luminoso del telefonino regalava qualcosa in più, una sorta di tranquillante somministrato in tripla dose. La sensazione di esserci ancora: linea, connessione, messaggio, registrazione.
Sono qui. Ci sono.
Esisto.”

“Fantine was beautiful, without being too conscious of it.
Those rare dreamers, mysterious priests of the beautiful who
silently confront everything with perfection, would have
caught a glimpse in this little working-woman, through the
transparency of her Parisian grace, of the ancient sacred euphony.
This daughter of the shadows was thoroughbred. She
was beautiful in the two ways— style and rhythm. Style is
the form of the ideal; rhythm is its movement.
We have said that Fantine was joy; she was also modesty.
To an observer who studied her attentively, that which
breathed from her athwart all the intoxication of her age,
the season, and her love affair, was an invincible expression
of reserve and modesty. She remained a little astonished.
This chaste astonishment is the shade of difference which
separates Psyche from Venus. Fantine had the long, white,

fine fingers of the vestal virgin who stirs the ashes of the
sacred fire with a golden pin. Although she would have refused
nothing to Tholomyes, as we shall have more than
ample opportunity to see, her face in repose was supremely
virginal; a sort of serious and almost austere dignity suddenly
overwhelmed her at certain times, and there was
nothing more singular and disturbing than to see gayety
become so suddenly extinct there, and meditation succeed
to cheerfulness without any transition state. This sudden
and sometimes severely accentuated gravity resembled the
disdain of a goddess. Her brow, her nose, her chin, presented
that equilibrium of outline which is quite distinct
from equilibrium of proportion, and from which harmony
of countenance results; in the very characteristic interval
which separates the base of the nose from the upper lip, she
had that imperceptible and charming fold, a mysterious
sign of chastity, which makes Barberousse fall in love with a
Diana found in the treasures of Iconia.
Love is a fault; so be it. Fantine was innocence floating
high over fault.”

Patas arriba. La escuela del mundo al reves
“El olvido, dice el poder, es el precio de la paz, mientras nos imponen una paz fundada en la aceptación de la injusticia como normalidad cotidiana. Nos han acostumbrado al desprecio de la vida y a la prohibición de recordar. Los medios de comunicación y los centros de educación no suelen contribuir mucho, que digamos, a la integración de la realidad y su memoria. Cada hecho está divorciado de los demás hechos, divorciado de su propio pasado y divorciado del pasado de los demás. La cultura de consumo, cultura del desvínculo, nos adiestra para creer que las cosas ocurren porque sí. Incapaz de reconocer sus orígenes, el tiempo presente proyecta el futuro como su propia repetición, mañana es otro nombre de hoy: la organización desigual del mundo, que humilla a la condición humana, pertenece al orden eterno, y la injusticia es una fatalidad que estamos obligados a aceptar o aceptar.”
