Link Dump: Classics and Other Madness

Not on my own computer + finding many interesting links while randomly browsing the internet = link dump!

1. The Mask of Agamemnon
Nothing like a good archaeological mud-throwing contest.

( Archaeology magazine articles )

-

Wikipedia.org article on the mask (includes image of the artifact); and some images of the other masks from the same period. Just so you can see the difference.
I always feel that the other masks rather resemble Gollum. I'm a bad, bad Liz.

-

2. Classical Play Texts Online
Because sometimes you need a quote in a hurry and your play texts are several hundred miles away. Look, I'm a geek, yes? I know.

( Agamemnon, Medea, Hippolytus, Oedipus, Antigone, Iphigenia )

-

3. The Tantalus Cycle
Because modern retellings of ancient myths are love. Well, this one is, anyway.

Tantalus Production Scrapbook, with lots of neat info and some videos which I shall get around to watching sooner or later.

-

More may follow later. It's possible. It depends how much more I end up stumbling across at random.

ETA: Damn. I'm even listening to music inspired by Greek myths. Beyond help.

[PoT] While it Lasts (Marui, Jackal)

Title: While it Lasts
Characters: Marui; Rikkai in general, especially Jackal. No real pairings, but maybe some hints.
Rating: G
Disclaimer: The characters aren't mine. Surprise. Shock. Horror.

Notes: Appears to have turned out to dwell in the same timeline as a Sanada/Yukimura fic I'm writing at present. Set some years after the series. In a shocking turn of events, contains very little D1 (though there is a bit of Niou). End of world may be near.
Written for a challenge by dystopiarcadia, the exact terms of which I have unfortunately lost. But it was to be a fic about Marui, set after the series, containing reflection on fate vs. hard work in maintaining friendships. Or something. I apologise if I wrote entirely the wrong thing. It's basically me finally getting around to writing something we said we'd do ages ago -- namely, a fic about Marui which didn't just involve food. No small challenge!
I apologise for any typos: wrote this on a computer without proper word-processing software (??!), and spell-checked it on LJ, which keeps trying to give me American spellings for things. So I may have missed some bad spelling in there. Checked through repeatedly, edited a bit, but still rather raw.
Ended up less angsty than I expected; Marui does kind of repel angst after all.
