Everytime that piano riff sounds I keep expecting it to transition into the Bluey theme.

Bless you for this! It looked familiar but I had no idea how to translate. By "familiar" I mean I went to Reed College when Humanities 101 (a required class for freshmen) covered work from the time, starting with the Iliad as required reading over the summer. We then continued to study that area and all the important dead white dudes who wrote plays, philosophy, etc. for the rest of the year. We studied some pottery/urns/physical art from the same period... so yeah, familiar. If I sound less than enthusiastic about the class: overall, it wasn't bad. Some of what we read was fantastic, but the 9AM lectures and 2 hour classes to discuss whatever we studied ended up being the first time I realized I was different... if I got bored (and didn't fall asleep) I'd start feeling antsy. Eventually I'd get to a point where I wanted to scream because boredom would shift into physical distress and discomfort. I'd have to walk out mid-lecture in full view of the entire class. I genuinely thought everyone felt that way! I just assumed they were better at handling it... when I asked friends and classmates how they managed to stay and listen while feeling so terrible: they didn't know what I was talking about. (⁠・⁠-⁠・⁠;⁠)⁠ゞYears later after graduating I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. *Anyway* Thanks for the translation! Humanities must still have some influence on me because I LOVE the cover art and pre-ordered a shirt as soon as I saw it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ (BTW: I've heard a lot of recent Reed students have pushed to expand Humanities into MORE than just dead white dudes from that region. I've also heard they've been successful. I'm proud of them)

How clever! The larger section of the play being “Mighty Polynices shouts such threats and [640] invokes his native gods, the gods of his fatherland, to watch over his prayers in every way. He holds a shield, a perfect circle, newly-made, with a double symbol cleverly fastened on it: [645] a woman modestly walking in the fore leads a man in arms made, it appears, of hammered gold. She claims to be Justice, as the lettering indicates, “I will bring this man back and he will have his city and move freely in his father's halls.” Such are the inventions fixed to their shields” And isn’t that the album cover?

Fairly random, but when John sings "breakaway republic dude", which I assume calls back to Soviet Georgia in Color in Your Cheeks, the animation highlights the baltics, not the caucasus. Not a criticism, just a fun bit of pedantry.

One from East St. Louis with a scar beneath his eye Left the kitchen spotless on the day he said goodbye Breakaway republic dude, supremely filthy mouth Copiah, Mississippi; points much further south It's never light outside yet when they climb into the van Remember at your peril, forget the ones you can Leave home feeling empty, change planes in Taipei Stay awake the whole time, end up several worlds away The house was almost full that day, they made a space for you This world is sad and broken, gotta fix a crack or two Rest until you're rested, climb back onto the caravan Remember at your peril, forget the ones you can And then just when you think you've learned how to forget You learn it's just the ones who haven't risen to the surface yet Absence after absence, keep the place secure This will be the last time that I do this, I'm pretty sure No one lasts for long in this profession, so they say Maybe see you again someday Every endpoint fixed forever on the day its arc began Remember at your peril, forget the ones you can Forget the ones you can
