“Dog, talk not to me neither of knees nor parents; would that I could be as sure of being able to cut your flesh into pieces and eat it raw, for the ill you have done me, as I am that nothing shall save you from the dogs—it shall not be. Your mother shall never lay you out and make lament over the son she bore, but dogs and vultures shall eat you utterly up.”
#achilles#the iliad#greek mythology#blood tw#turns out the thing to get me out of my drawing funk is some fucked up snarling men! there are many more snarling men in my sketchbook#ft a variation on achilles's design where he takes after his mother (whom i imagine with greyish skin and oceanlike blue black hair)#the main inspiration was that dog beast from otgw but i also feel like theres traces of... fierce buddhist deities??#like those depictions of mahakala where he has his mouth open and eyes bulging and fang everywhere. my absolute favourite#anyway im mildly annoyed that i couldnt find the exact quote that sparked this idea partly because i listened to the e. wilson translation#but im looking at the gutenberg version
