A question about visual arts this time
Do you have any favorite classics artwork(s) that is Iliad related? Like ancient potteries of Homeric heroes, mural arts, paintings during the medieval Europe, etc?
Oh my that is a very good question! There are so many pottery painting and murals of later years that portray so greatly the epic cycle that is so hard to choose!!! But I believe one of the old masters is definitely Exekias! As you remember from my small analysis on the preparation of Ajax suicide. He creates some amazing pasterpieces with the Iliad protagonists and he is very detailed in his style. See for example the famous depiction of Ajax and Achilles playing a board game:
His lines are very bold and his work is very detailed and not only that he includes even thematics that are lesser known such as the preparation of the suicide instead of the act itself or this board game that ellegedly happened in the middle of a battle. Of course we also have the so-called "Siren Painter" with the amazing depiction of Odysseus resisting the sirens songs from the Odyssey
But to focus more on Iliad as you requested (or the general aspects of the war) One of my favorites is definitely this Kylix that was drawn by a painter named Douris. here's an image of Odysseus approaching mourning Achilles (his arms are hanging from a wall which is a very interesting detail)
This Kylix involves the sharing of the arms of Achilles and the medalion in the middle depicts Odysseus handing over to Neoptolemous the arms of his father while holding a boetian-style shield instead of the well known shield of the homeric poems (and it is interesting given how most Neoptolemous depictions involve him killing Priam -he seems so innocent here doesn't he?!-):
A roman wallpainting from Pompeii is definitely one of my favorite Patroclus representations along with of course the infamous scene with him being taken care of by Achilles in a Kyllix
The fight over the body of patroclus in the black-figure style is also amazingly expressive:
The Berlin Painter has definitely one of the most expressive depictions of the battle between Achilles and Hector:
This depiction is around the neck of a crater, the figures are named and I loved how Hector is bleeding profoundly while untouched Achilles is going for the kil with his spear. Euphronius painter also has a very brutal scene of Achilles slaying Troilus:
An Amphora mostly black but for one red figure seems to be depicting Antilochus and is a really rare one from one I can tell!
I love how his long, wavy hair is arranged under the helmet and his obviously youthful appearance (he is a great source of inspiration for my Achilles and Antilochus story). I also love the Triptolemous Painter for making this depiction of the council of Achilles:
Not only do I love the cheeky pose Odysseus has; trying to transfer his ature through painting! Not only do we again see the arms of Achilles to the walls but also we have old Phoenix to the background with his hair tonred up with white color (thankfully rescued by passage of time) with his long hair thugged with the hair band and all!
Kleophades Painter has one of the most brutal scenes of the murder of Priam I have ever seen!
This seems to follow the line of the myth that Virgil speaks of in Aenead; Neoptolemus kills Astyanax before his grandrather before killing him too. In here he seems to have laid the dead baby to his knees and almost seems like either repeatedly stabbing him or beating him to death while Priam tries to shield his head. The baby also seems to have been repeatedly stabbed as well! And blood splattered everywhere!
For Diomedes this is definitely one of my favorites; the stealing of the horses with Odysseus
One can see his youthful appearance compared to Odysseus as they drive the horses away or the exchange of the weapons with Glaukus
I love his youthful appearnce and the thin features and yet the stout body to show his warrior status and the way he receives the shield with care in this, shows much on his personality really.
*
Oh there are so many different depictions by ancient art alone! I would be more than happy to elaborate further with specific images on specific heroes if you want on future reblogs because honestly the category is huge! Even scenes like geometric time paintings seem to be quoting Homer and either the funeral of Patroclus or Hector:
Thank you for the intriguing question! Made me remember many of these masterpieces!

Eurylochus dragging Odysseus's overworked ass to sleep. >:D
i’ve got you. don’t worry, cause i’ve got you, now.
i think maybe after this happens ody wakes up w eury’s coat on him and is like. “wait is this mine? should i be wearing this” (sleep-deprived) and so that’s how ody gets his signature fanon coat
thanks for the ask!!

What was it like for Poseidon to put the covering over Horse-Odysseus' eyes? Did Poseidon have to chase for a long time or was it easy to capture Odysseus and put it to him?
Initially Poseidon had to stay on Ody’s back for three whole months, until Odysseus was finally too tired to run wildly and buck. That naturally took quite a bit of energy from him, and in that time Poseidon had commissioned Hephaestus to create the bridle. Odysseus was simply too tired to do much running. And after it was placed on, he simply couldn’t see where he could even go, relying on Posieson to be led.

when you finish reading the Iliad or the Odyssey, could you draw your favorite characters from those books?
Bold of you to assume I started reading either while arcane s02 was airing tbh. When I actually do I'll definitely try to draw stuff tho.
#I don't even know who my favorite is. it's been so long since we were doing these in school#gonna be someone basic like Odysseus#I remember I really liked that one part where he blinded that cyclops and was wearing a sheeps skin? not in that order#not art#text#ask#anonymous#greek mythology#I'll get to it. don't worry. I just can't mix too many fixations#I totally meant to answer this a few days later and definitely didn't forget. honestly. no doubt

what happens with achilles in your story if the Trojan war never happens?
I am so glad I saw this before I fell asleep (And thank you very much for the question!!)
The short answer is: Achilles (along with a few others like Diomedes and Odysseus) is one of Athena's champions and one of the leading generals in the combat against the creatures of Erebus! Each god has their favoured champions/heroes and each of those people play a key role in maintaining what little order is left in the world.
The long answer is: due to the whole 💫 completely impromptu, unplanned and unprophesied apocalyptic situation of the Divine Light of the World completely disappearing 💫 Hera, Athena and Aphrodite had to completely squash their argument started at Thetis' wedding because there was simply too much to do. Achilles, therefore, is set down a completely different path to immortal glory, same with many other familiar faces from the Iliad (and wider greek mythology). On the bright side, he still hates Agamemnon's guts considering Agamemnon, even in this world, is his direct superior. Likewise, he also still spends an inordinate amount of time getting banged by Patroclus (who is one of Ares' champions) despite the whole literal apocalypse occuring around them. So really, Achilles will always be Achilles 😀👍🏾
#pursuing daybreak posting#for the record btw#Apollo's chosen are called Laureates and Hyacinthus is one of them#He's the Shepherd Laureate#the other Laureates currently alive are Asclepius who is the Doctor Laureate and Orpheus who is Poet Laureate#Apollo's system and way of chosing champions predates the apocalypse though - he often chose a few extremely talented or skilled mortals#and personally taught them his arts along with granting them his blessing#his Laureates are very very important to him and there's rarely more than a handful around at any given time#Admetus was the last Shepherd Laureate before Hyacinthus as an extra fun fact#Anyway Pursuing Daybreak Achilles is a Fiend but he's having a ton of fun monster-hunting and being revered as one of the protectors of men#he just has a bit of a nasty complex because of all of that glory and recognition#Diomedes enjoys the constant conflict too much to quit despite reaaaally wanting to#And Odysseus is a much grimmer darker man due to his home being one of the places that were first swallowed up by Erebus#anyway thank you so much for asking this question! you made me really happy :DD#ginger answers asks
