Do you have Diomedes eventually being immortalized by Athena in your hcs like he is in some versions of his mythology?

Honestly, I don't really know? 😅 He kind of only "exists" in my writing until he meets once with Penelope at like, 13-14 years of Odysseus being gone. Sthenelus is, ofc, with him. :D And he tells some stories to Penelope and kind of hangs out with Telemachus before they're off again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After that, I don't think much or plan much for him 😅 "You played your narrative purpose, now you are free to do what you please, little dude."

Maybe I'll have it mentioned or something? but I don't know for sure :'D

#I'm sorry dear anon. I know I'm kind of “Not the norm” with Diomedes and while I find him interesting. he's also the most #“He's just some guy. A very good fighter guy but still just a guy.” to me😅😂#The only reason why I DO have thoughts on him is literally because I feel like I kind of HAVE to by the fandom :'D #It was kind of a “Oh shit. I'm supposed to have this guy be a big deal? Oh. uh...Odysseus and him are teenage exes who have beef.”#I'm fascinated by his “I'm Athena's windup toy soldier” aspect and his relationship with Sthenelus but honestly even then I find Sthenelus #more compelling than him to be honest lol #I don't even know why??? I mean Odysseus is my special little guy (Penelope moreso which is why Diomedes gets the privilege #to meet her. He will be grateful.👀) but for the male characters then it's Menelaus then Agamemnon then Patroclus then Dio #Lol in order to get me to like a character they gotta compliment and hype up Penelope xD #Menelaus? Calls her clever and “Godlike” to Telemachus. Good lad.#Agamemnon? Calls her a good woman and good and clever wife. Good lad.#Diomedes? ...Nothing. No praising Penelope. That's a crime in my book.👀 /joking #I wish I had more to say but that's all I got :'D #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #ask #anon #my headcanons
