regarding peleus stopping thetis' ritual for making infant achilles immortal:

Lykophron (with scholiast) asserts that Thetis had killed six of their children by this experiment prior to Achilles: Peleus, we may think, had every reason to feel uneasy.

idk man, if my captured goddess wife who hated my guts kept killing our kids within weeks of them being born, maybe i'd stop wanting to impregnate her at SOME point prior to this

#peleus went through this SEVEN times and was still like 'yeah i'm sure this is how married life is supposed to be'#also we all know the implied outcome is that achilles WOULD have survived the ritual and become immortal if they hadn't been interrupted #like peleus buddy it's on YOU that you made six weakling babies who couldn't survive a little frying and ambrosia. skill issue.#(this user is still deranged about thetis sorry)
