Welcome lovers and learners of the internet. Although doom scrolling is so fun, and we all need the time to decompress and stop overthinking everything, it can also feel so fulfilling to read a good book. Whether you're a Jane Austen girl, reading about the throes of love in the Victorian Era, or a staid soul reading Dostoevsky and going home to lay in the darkness of your room, or whether you're nerding out over classical antiquity, Aristotle, Plato, and Greek mythology, this listicle is for you. 

There are endless stories in mythology. Plus, you have the Greeks, and you have the (sort of) paralleled Romans. We all have a favorite as well. Whether you love Aphrodite and her embodiment of love, or you prefer Persephone and her story of tragedy and the origin of seasons, it's gripping and interesting tales have us reading intently for longer than we expect. 

Or what about the timeless tale of Eurydice and Orpheus, a love that transcends the underworld (or at least Orpheus had the best of intentions). And maybe you just wanna dance with Dionysus's maenads under willow trees, bottle in one hand, flowers in another.

  • I love when memes can combine ancient and contemporary. Like this one about Pandora's box filled with all matter, materials, good, and evil imminently about to escape. But the subtle interjection of modern internet references and vernacular. Simply hilarious.

  • Aphrodite has never looked better. Sporting cool, suave sunglasses as she's birthed from sea foam, coming out of the clam like the beautiful goddess that she is. I once had a dream involving these symbols…rebirth, femininity, shells, and beginning anew. Goddess of love, take us away from this mortal world to the world of erst!
