achilles

“Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.” ― Homer, The Iliad

[beeperoo]

I have a pjo/tsoa au idea

What if Achilles became a god like Thetis wanted him to? What if he gave Patroclus some of that immortality? What if neither of them died? So heres what would happen if they're minor gods in the riordonverse

They would only get cabins after the first Percy Jackson series, and the cabins would be right next to eachother, probably decorated similarly. The Achilles cabin would probably have 20-25 campers each century, and the Patroclus cabin would have 15-20 campers. The campers might consider the other cabin their siblings, but it wouldnt be uncommon for them to date. Some of the Achilles campers might have sea related powers as Achilles was born from Thetis, a sea nymph. Both cabin's campers would be skilled fighters.

The Achilles cabin and the Apollo cabin would have a rivalry. They'd either be wary or even agressive to the other. Main part of the rivalry is the mastery of the lyre, as the Achilles kids would naturally be skilled lyre players, and the Apollo kids are musically skilled too.

The Patroclus campers would powerless in a way, but probably be smart planners of battle strategists. I think they'd get along with the Athena campers.

Iliad fans maths: if Odysseus said to be one head shorter than Agamennone, it totally makes him 1.50 meters

“Die, make an end. I shall accept my own whenever Zeus and the other gods desire.”

Achilles’ last words to the slain Hector

why is achilles the only demigod who's Like That? like he's my boy but u don't see memnon or aeneas or sarpedon acting like him on the reg. why is he so maladjusted? like specifically? I saw his mother once and was so terrified by the sight of a goddess I flung myself to the ground and hid my face in the dirt til she left but I still don't think that accounts for it idk

I was the one who wrote the achilles/agamemnon 100k slowburn enemies to lovers rpf and put it on the group chat but now patroclus is calling me 'agachilles boy' and laughing about it and asking if I can proofread his mock bardic epic where all his dogs are heroes and killing people, so I fear I've made a mistake. I also can't look achilles in the eye anymore... but honestly I've never seen proof he can read so I might be safe

imagine being the achaeans and your best warrior gets killed by PARIS, after everyone else had awesome deaths at the hands of sarpedon or hector or memnon... like that's literally so embarassing I just know achilles is fucking fuming down in hades rn. I bet the achaeans are gonna put around that paris was guided by apollo, or that paris happened to hit his only weak spot..... anything 2 try and make it less cringe.... lol lol we're popping the biggest bottles tonight. hope helen's there

"The horse and the infant"

[ellilyre]

Do you think that Odysseus has become a kind of running joke among the gods, like when we joke about cockroachs' survivability?

For example some mortal is surviving stuff that rly should've killed him, and someone on Olympus says "is he pulling an Odysseus on us?" and everyone laughs
