I’m not a student, but this is a thought that crosses my mind every day. And every day I try telling myself, Keep working, because when this is all over, you’ll be glad for the work you’ve done. 

It’s like the long winters of the past, when the granaries would slowly empty and people started to fear spring would never come again: during the dark days, you do things. You repair your tools. You enjoy each other’s company. You sing old songs and write new ones. You make ropes and nets and weave blankets and do anything you don’t have time for in the summer. And it’s hard to do it and hard to stay hopeful, but that way, when spring comes - and spring does come, spring will come - you can start working in the fields with a brand-new plow and good boots and a head full of songs.

Songs based on Greek mythology
justpoetrythings

  •  Start a War // Klergy with Valerie Broussard (This is not based on greek mythology but I’m sure you’ll get the vibes of a greek war)
  • Achilles Come Down // Gang of Youths (First part is Patroclu’s voice telling Achilles to not jump -to not end his life- because he matters. The second part is Apollo’s voice motivating him to jump for he is not worth it.)
  • The Cult of Dionysus // The Orion Experience (Sums up Dionysus’ love for drinking and being carefree.)
  • Alrighty Aphrodite // Peach Pit (Hephaestus talking to Aphrodite after having been cheated on) 
  • Aphrodite // Rini (About Ares being seduced by Aphrodite)
  • Apollo // Timebelle (I like to believe this is about Apollo and Hyacinthus :) And I’d totally recommend the slowed version.)
  • Perseus // Unknown Brains 
  • Achilles // Gareth Fernandez (About Achilles and Patroclus’ relationship)
  • Something Just Like This // Romy Wave -cover- (it just mentions greek mythology once but it’s a very dark academia song so here you are)
  • Greek God // Conan Gray
  • Babylon // 5 Seconds Of Summer (I’m getting Alexander and Hephaestion vibes, I hope this is what the song is about.)
  • Orestes // A perfect Circle (About Orestes and his mother Clytemnestra)
  • Icarus // Bastille
  • Persephone // Tamino (About Hades’ love for Persephone.)
  • Daedalus // Thrice (About Daedalus and his son Icarus) 
  • Medusa //  Kailee Morgue 
  • My Jolly Sailor Bold // Ashley Serena -cover- (About a siren, the greek mythological creature)
  • Aphrodite // The Ridleys
