Greek Apologies

I keep hearing people say that Odysseus never apologized properly to Poseidon but in the Greek way he did.

Basically the Greek word that apology is derived from- Apologia means “Speaking in Defense”.

Basically the Greeks would explain why you did what you did while expressing sympathy and remaining respectful.

The reason why Poseidon didn’t accept the apology was because Odysseus permanently crippled Poseidon’s son which was like, a great disgrace for that time period- it would’ve been more honorable to kill Polyphemus.

But anyways- my whole point was that Odysseus DID apologize correctly but due to the disgrace of what Odysseus did, it’s why Poseidon was so angry and said, “This totally could’ve been avoided had you just killed my son.”

This is why Odysseus was quiet when Eurylochus apologized for the wind bag- because he didn’t apologize correctly per the time period, he just said “I’m so sorry, forgive me.” He didn’t give a defense or reasoning, he just begged to be forgiven.

CALLING ALL PJO AND HOO FANS!!!!

Did I get your attention? Yes? Good. I feel that I need to fix my writing skills and thus I have decided to rewrite the entire HoO series to fix some problems I (and perhaps you) have with it as well as to add foreshadowing for fics I'm planning that take place afterwards.

Am I claiming that my writing is better than that of Rick's? God no, I'm a child with internet access and a Greek Myth obsession, but I still think that it would be a lovely writing exercise and if anything I'd practice a bit more.

That's why I'm coming to you, dear readers and Tumblr users, for ideas. What plotline did you dislike? Which character would you like to have seen portrayed slightly differently? Which ideas and concepts would you like to see implemented? What problems and issues do you have with the books that I may be able to include in my fic?

I ask this not because I'll do every single one, but because I'd like to find some I agree with and/ or inspire me. Hell, I might not even write/ finish it, but isn't that the joy of fanfiction? Its just a collection of nerds spending too much time with their little guys and gals in stories.

Um anyways, I think that I will unfortunately have to add a bunch of tags to get some actual traction. Sorry if that annoys anyone!

So with all this talk of the threads of destiny in the latest episode, I made a joke about the night sisters being after the three fates…

IT WAS A JOKE… except apparently I was right?!?!????

Cause these three ladies here:

Are named: Klothow, Aktropaw, and Lakesis

As in: Clotho, Atropos and Lachesis (the three fates from Greek mythology!!!)

ok ok so not sorry for loving you was oretty much what I was expecting calypos va is amazing and the song is so pretty and I almost feel bad enough for her to like her

dangerous was a BANGER I didnt know about the more calm bits at the beginning and end and the pause when the crew usually replied in the 600 lives bit fucking HURT but then hermes shows up and its like WOOOOO PARTYY FUCKIINGGG TIMMEEE AM I DIONYSUS OR WHAT CAUSE WE ARE HAVING A RIDEEEEEE!! the anamatic with ody fighting all these monsters and hermes busting it down was HILARIOUS I love him SO MUCH troy eats every time and its amazing

charybdis was EVEN BETTER THAN I EXPECTED tbh ik a lot of people were really excited for get in the water and dont get me wrong I was too! but I was REALLY excited for charybis and it met my expectations perfectly the vocals and how just fucking DONE ody sounds is PERFECT I love it

get in the water. holy SHIT get into the water. it was what we knew was coming UNTIL IT WASNT AND THEN IT HURT THE BIT WITH HIS DEAD CREW/FRIENDS/MOM WAS OUCH and a fucking jetpack I CANNOT take that seriously bcuz omg thats so funny that he used a JETPACK to fight posideon AND IT WORKED

six hundred strike ima be honest didnt love the 3d render thing it wasnt for me but the water physics were sick but the MUSIC IS AWSOME I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY EEEEEE

first off the crews voices coming back to accompany odysseus as he avenges each of them is GREAT but then

then

the end

HOLY SHIT THE END I

I dont even KNOW what to say because OH MY GOD

posideon basically saying yeah whatever you win but ur fucked you dumbass and ody replying with youre calling that storm off. and posideon going or what bitch

and then the danger motif starts

AND THEN ODYS FUCKING RAMPAGE

STABBING HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH HIS OWN TRIDENT

THE PRONGS TEARING THROUGH HIS LUNGS FILLING THEM WITH BLOOD INSTEAD OF WATER HOOKING BEHIND HIS RIBS AS HIS OWN TRIDENT SINKS INTO HIS IMMORTA BODY OVER AND OVER HURTING MORE THAN ANY MORTAL WEAPON COULD

and the things odysseus is saying? holy fuck theyre almost more painful then the trident because DAMN

you can hear all the rage, the misery, the grief, every single goddamn thing odysseus has been through every person hes lost every person hes fail every. single. emotion. odysseus has felt is so raw and painful and THERE and its awful and amazing and its perfect for that moment

and th animation for that portion is amazing too. the glowing stripes on posideons sides and the flashes of lightning and the blood on the trident and the way posideons body lurches as odysseus stabs him AH and ofc that final line. THAT LINE HOLY SHIT

“with everything youve done… how will you sleep at night?”

“next to my wife.”

so good. im in love.

Hermes, *In a haunted house*: I want to apologize the first time I came here in 2004

*Flashback*

Hermes: Come and get me, Ghost! Look it, I'm slitting my wrist just like you did hahaha!

Hermes,*embarrassed*: .....I'm going to admit I was a little out of line.....

When I hear some of my mythology fanfiction readers comment on my take on Odysseus and say "oh my you write him so well" I feel so ecstatic and happy and I cannot thank you enough guys! 😊 you are all awesome 🫶

But...

I realize more and more that the reason it happens is probably not my love for the classics but rather that I am an annoying little bitch like him who just asks for it sometimes 🤣🤣🤣

And when I realize that and still get happy when people think I am achieving what I want to achieve when I write and transfer I am like...

Yup...makes sense!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
