Tagged by @dingoat​ to take this uquiz with an OC (or two), went with Tragen and Endrali. I ran it twice with Tragen bc there were a few questions where I was really torn on the answer, annnnnd that was enough to give him two results that both fit. 😅 I ran it twice with Endrali to be fair, but there weren’t enough different answers to change her result.
which tragic greek figure are you?
·Tragen·
Tumblr media
Orestes
you are your father's son and your mother's equal. morality and justice guide your hands through every act, no matter how vile, so that society may be preserved��even if you must sacrifice yourself. what is your flesh flayed by the kindly ones over your father being avenged? matricide, when sparing your mother would lose her respect for you? there is peace at the end, orestes, but the journey to it is dark and terrible.
Patroclus
clever patroclus, beloved patroclus, poor patroclus: you do fall into madness, nor vanity, nor hubris. not, that is, for your own sake. love for that golden-haired man, sorrow for your countrymen; it is for his name that you don his armor, and for the dying greeks that you ride into battle. every piece of you is willingly given away, even if after you are gone there are wicked things done in your name.

Orpheus
sing, o muse, of the failed lover who thwarted perils and charmed death but could not save that who he cherished most. you have impressed the god of music with your skill, have sailed with argonauts, and penned literature that lived millennia past your death, but you are most remembered for only just failing to save eurydice from the depths of hades. take your grief-filled hands and wander, now, museless creature, until death comes for you too.
