not normal about orpheus and eurydice. you loved someone so much it opened the stones of the underworld. so much that death had to listen. so much that everything stopped for your love. so much that you turned around. so much that even when you did wrong. she forgave you.

Homer!Odysseus and Epic!Odysseus would try to kill each other if they ever met

what odysseus dreams of

[thoodleoo]

important question. do you think the minotaur had a soft wet nose. do you think he mooed when he snored. do you think when theseus turned a sword on him he looked up at his executioner with the same dark, beautiful eyes that earned hera the epithet Βοῶπις

So in the context of Greek mythology the tripod is a special three legged stool that the oracle of Delphi sat on when she gave her prophecies. The stool itself was sacred. Very important.

And. There’s a myth where Heracles goes to the oracle of Delphi to ask a question of how to atone for something he did and the Oracle is like “I dunno dude figure it out yourself” and Heracles is so mad about this that he steals the tripod and Apollo himself is like “NO NOT MY TRIPOD” and comes down to snatch it back from him.

Now this is one of those myths that isn’t sourced in a lot of places. Pretty much only The Library by pseudo-Apollodorus I think? But we know it was a very popular and well known myth because artists really really liked painting and sculpting it

Look at him he’s like bro give it back seriously that’s my chair what do you think you’re doing

Greek Mythology AU where Eddie is a sculptor working in Aphrodite’s temple. He was tasked with creating a series of statues depicting the goddess, her children, and six imaginary courtesans to decorate the gardens. The first few courtesan statues are undeniably beautiful, but they don’t even come close to the last one’s beauty. The people coming to the temple to leave sacrifices to gain Aphrodite’s favor, start to leave smaller offerings to the sixth courtesan as well. His statue is surrounded by flowers and fruits at all times, and he’s named ’Star-eyed Lover’ saying his beauty is equal to Aphrodite’s. The Goddess hears about the comparison and sees the offerings, that should be for her, she is not too happy and she goes down to destroy the statue under the cover of the night. In the garden tho she’s not alone, a man is sitting in front of the Star-eyed Lover, reading to the statue. Eddie, raised in a town close to Delphi, the temple of Apollo met all sorts of art and mastered some of it. One of these was the art of music, which he rediscovered thanks to the sculptor of the last courtesan, who became a muse for him. He dedicated all his songs to him, writing them in the garden of Aphrodite, where he sat day and night. Aphrodite, hearing the beautiful songs Eddie wrote, decided to reward his talent for creating such beautiful things. She breathed life into the statue. The Star-eyed Lover aka Steve embraces his maker and one true admirer and they live happily ever after.
