#Agamemnon

IDEA FROM @barnowlive

[smokey07]

Homer: Are you aware that many Iliad characters are first time fathers? That all of them in one way or another misses a big chunk of their children’s life or never gets to see it at all?

Also Homer: leaves and never elaborates

A doodle for random parenting shiz basically. Order from left to right, top to bottom:

-Menelaus carrying a sleepy Hermione. @hermesmoly I was drawing this when the request came lolol

-Achilles and baby Neo. I don’t know if it’s a thing in other places but hanging on father’s leg and then let him moves it back and forth like an impromptu swing is quite a favorite pastime activity here.

-Odysseus and baby Telemachus who was trying to be a helicopter

-Hector and baby Astyanax when he was born.

-Probably Agamemnon and his three daughters, but I have no official designs. He tried to scold them and was failing. Tbh I feel like Agamemnon would be the type to cosplay buff Bubble from Powerpuff girls along with his daughters. I know he’s not that great but me delulu.

-Patroclus and Neoptolemus. Yes Patroclus contributed in raising him as well, the kid had 2 dads. Fight me.

Don't mind me, I just saw an EPIC Fan saying that Odysseus would've been distubed after finding out that Agamemnon sacrificed his own daughter.

fic when?

Hear me out

The iliad, but they all 5 and fight over a toy Menelaus showed them

Nestor is the old man cause hes 6 and like, super smart

The gods are their parents/older siblings who took them to the park

[palameiad]

if memory serves me right then agamemnon was never particularly favoured by any god, which is hilarious because that means he was just rawdogging the entire war with a generational curse and a dream

Lol guys my Cacoyannis "Electra" post is being labeled as "mature content" 🤣 😂

Decided to revisit some Iliad designs and polish them up! Semi-canon to my EPIC designs. Odysseus is just too jacked lol

Things To Never Say To Someone Who Just Came Out : Iliad edition

[firstknightvulion]

Is it any surprise I like me some Greek Mythology?

I hate the modern depictions of Helen/Paris/Menelaus.

Menelaus was a nice guy, Helen was manipulated by Aphrodite and Paris is…Paris. Fuck that guy. Not literally, he doesn’t deserve it.

The Iliad be like:

Paris: Any advice for your dear husband as he goes out to duel?

Helen turns to Paris. She is wearing ‘Team Menelaus’ hat, a ‘I love my real husband shirt’ and her right hand is covered by a ‘Menelaus #1’ giant, foam hand.

Helen: Die. Preferably, screaming.

Paris watches Helen stand atop the walls. She raises her shirt, flashing her boobs in Menelaus’ direction. On them is written ‘Kick His Ass, Baby’.

The entire Greek army stares. Except Odysseus. Menelaus gives them the death glare. The entire Greek army awkwardly looks away. Except Odysseus.

I also love the idea of Odysseus and Menelaus being Ancient Greek Wifeguys.

Odysseus walks into Menelaus’ tent. Menelaus looks up hopefully.

Menelaus: *hopefully* Wife?

Odysseus: *shaking his head* Not wife.

Menelaus: *sadly* Miss wife.

Odysseus: *sadly* Miss wife too.

Several hours and jugs of wine later…

Agamemnon steps into the tent.

Odysseus and Menelaus: *drunk and crying hysterically* Want wife!!!

Agamemnon backs out of the tent.

I also also feel like Helen may harbor some resentment towards Aphrodite.

Aphrodite appears in front of the Palace in Sparta.

Aphrodite: *smiling happily* Hey, gurl!

Helen immediately runs up to her and decks her in the face. Aphrodite goes down like a sack of bricks. Helen returns inside. Menelaus looks between the unconscious Goddess and the threshold of his home. After a moment, he follows his wife inside and closes the door. Aphrodite lays there for several hours.

The Iliad is probably one of the funniest books I ever read

Like I'll be having a not-so-good day, then remember how Hector had given himself an entire pep talk to fight Achilles. He saw Achilles running full speed towards him and proceeds to just book it.

Or when Menelaus got shot by an arrow in like in an ultimately nonfatal spot, and Agamemnon begins prematurely mourning him while he's standing there like 🧍‍♂️” you're scaring the men.”

Or when Odysseus is walking around the camps with a royal scepter and is just beating people with it if he finds them packing or suggesting to leave.

Or when Hector is brainstorming on how to face Achilles and for a moment goes, “Maybe I could talk with him, we’re both princes, we can both be rational, I could reason with him… that's a horrible fucking idea.”

I have more, but these, in particular, really tickle me.

my volleyball au with the iliad boys, who should i add next!!! :0

more yapping below

tbf all my knowledge of volleyball is from haikyuu + the 2 olympic matches ive seen so. but anyway im kinda obsessed with this (it was between volleyball/soccer)

i wanna add more characters but idk how they would fit!!! i guess the trojans are a different team? and are the greek gods their coaches?

athena as the coach for the boys team - 100% trying to get ody and dio to play professionally

ares as the coach for the girls team

hermes is like the supervisor but he dgaf lowkey he just watches for the thrill and the drama (LOVES doing the cheers)

maybe poseidon as the coach for a diff team, would def still have beef with ody somehow #trust

anyway if u read all this 1) please tell me ur thoughts and 2) thank u for reading here’s a gold star ⭐️
