Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Wasn't his wife bringing him food and drink regularly and occasionally go "you know you can come home anytime, right?".
Maybe I'm hallucinating. It's been a long time since I studied Greek history...
He was in exile in Athens, and did not have much money if any while in exile. I don’t remember him ever marrying, but he was definitely not rich when he lived in the jar.
Was curious about this jar because I was imagining a glass jar lol. I looked it up and a few portrayals show him hanging with dogs too
That makes much more sense than the "ship in a bottle" situation I was imagining
