Saw a Zola quote today about how people don't read the whole book.

Made me think of this one from him too:

"If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud." — Émile Zola

For the few who do read to the last page 📚

In the book I'm reading everyone in ancient Athens was freaking out bc they couldn't rub Hermes' knob for good luck after delinquents vandalized his statues & I didn't think it was real but RIP The Great Penis Mutilation of 415 BCE
#booksky

The Great Penis Mutilation of 415 BCE The phallic symbols on Hermes statues were considered so holy and vital to public safety that damaging them was viewed as catastrophic bad luck. In 415 BCE, right before the Athenian military launched a massive naval expedition to Sicily, a group of vandals went through the city overnight and smashed the penises off almost all the hermai in Athens. This act of mass sacrilege caused nationwide panic, as the public believed the god Hermes had been stripped of his protective power, leaving the military expedition doomed.
