#IM THINKING ABOUT ATHENA..

[wyrmswears]

see my ideal athena case would have her confront that issues lie not only within the court but also in the prison system. she encounters a case so like the ur-1's, except the person parallel to simon is guilty and realises the complete lack of benefit from the current system. learns to fight for innocent and guilty people alike. likewise, the dream path for her character would be for her to have a focus on restorative justice and contributing towards the community in contrast to her childhood isolation.

That part in the Iliad where Zeus is like “yeah, sure, do what you want” and Athena, whose favorite pasttime is cosplaying men and messing with mortals sprints off

wouldn't it be nice to obsess over that aromantic man as his own character rather than a part of a ship once in a while? :)

Thinking about how the names of characters are introduced to us in EPIC, especially the gods. Most characters are introduced by either a character or the chorus saying their name.

Athena is introduced by Odysseus calling out her name and Aeolus is introduced by Odysseus speaking his name to address him. Hermes is introduced by Odysseus saying his name as he realises who he is. So all the "friendly"/helpful gods are introduced by Odysseus speaking to them, which automatically makes them a bit more familiar to the audience, more "human" if you will.

But Poseidon is introduced by the chorus (which is an audible representation of his divine power) chanting his name. It's a bold, terrifying introduction which emphasises his power and godhood above all else. And Zeus isnt introduced at all, his name is entirely up to the audience to infer, as if he knows his name precedes him (which it does, but is still arrogant. Especially alongside the whole "pride is a damsel in distress" speech). Both these introductions demonstrate the sheer power of the enemy gods, and a bit of a separation between them and the audience.

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) the only exception so far is Circe, whose name is first spoken by Hermes, a fellow god. It doesn't bring us super close to her, but also she's not present to demonstrate her power in that moment. And it makes sense for Circe to be the exception, because she's the only one who switches from enemy to friend

Weaving progress for Athena's shrine cloth! It's definitely not perfect but I'm enjoying it. All of the weft yarn so far is either undyed (white) or dyed by me. iirc the light tannish yarn was dyed with tea bags and the dark yellow was dried spearmint. I've got some light blue yarn from Aunt Jenny Makes that I felt like I should add prepped and ready to go for the next time I work on it

very very funny how everyone odysseus met in the underworld is just the same as they were before death, youd think death would’ve mellowed them out a little but they are all still unhinged tbh

achilles: i wish i hadn’t fought in this stupid ass war. anyway has my son been killing in my name or…?

ajax: wont even talk because he’s still pissed about odysseus winning achilles’s armor in those games

agamemnon: i hate women
