fishysseus next?

[murasaki-cha]

"Astynax (the infant) was quiet and didn't cry when Odysseus was holding him and was even smiling and reaching out for him, because Odysseus was wearing his helmet, so he must have thought it was his father, Hector, picking him up."

Me after reading this take:

[nightlilly0110]

Zeus: The gods will tell him what you did when he grows up and he’ll kill you and everything you love.

Odysseus: Why?

Zeus: Why what?

Odysseus: If I raise him and he’s my second son, I’m his father, yes?

Zeus: I guess.

Odysseus: And this is a baby, so he won’t remember his real father? I mean, look at him. He doesn’t even know what’s going on right now and half the city is on fire and I just burst in here with a sword. Zero reaction.

Zeus: I guess-

Odysseus: So why would he be mad at me for killing a dude who did not raise him and he doesn’t remember? I’d be his dad. Maybe he’d be mad I stole him from his home but he’d have no emotional connection to these people.

Zeus: I don’t know how those work.

Odysseus: You mean children?!

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

Zeus: "If you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to save."

Athena: "Finish it."

Aeolus: "The end always justifies the means."

Poseidon: "Ruthlessness is mercy."

Hermes: "You can be hurt or you can beat her. ... I'll help you conquer her."

Tiresias: "I see a man who gets to make it home alive, but it's no longer you."

Hestia, probably:

The Royal Family of Ithaca

Anyone notice that the first time Penelope and Telemachus were mentioned in 'The Horse and the Infant', their pronunciation was closer to the Greek version and not the English-ed(?) version? cause I loved that.

Puh-NEL-low-pee -> Pe-ne-LO-pee Tuh-LE-ma-kuhs -> Tee-LE-ma-kohs

The Greek version, from what I researched, was smth like: Pee-ne-LOP-pee & Tee-LE-ma-hos

I have no idea if I did that right... or if I heard it right...

Anyway, I love Mr Rivera-Herrans. And the whole EPIC cast.

The trojan horse

This is just a quick, unserious, comic that I’ve had floating around my head for the past couple days. But hey now you guys know what my Athena looks like =]

[stick-ball]

Jerejean this, Neil ordering a hit that.

There's one thing I need to know. Was if Nora's intention to reference the ancient Greek myth Paris with Jean being given that as a nickname from Thea? Or is it just about the city? I need to know I need to know.

Paris being thrown out as a little child by his parents due the prophecy that he is going to be the reason for a kingdom's collapse. Paris becoming a Prince of Troy.

Jean being sold off by his parents due to their debt to the Moriayamas. Jean being blamed for the fall Edgar Allan Ravens took. Becoming a Trojan.

Paris being tempted by three goddesses promising him great things.

Jean being fucked over by a pretty face mentioned three times.

Paris and Jean being the scape goats of their stories when acting from love and due to powers stronger than them.

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.

“you don’t understand, this man plans for every fight” is so funny like odysseus really was the greek hero with the ONE braincell huh

you don’t get it this guy PLANS!!!!! he MADE A HORSE ONCE!!!

[thelucidduchess]

Unpopular opinion but Wouldn’t You Like is really good and people should pay more attention to it

[theaethernetconnection]

Odysseus would DIE for his son but he LIVED for Penelope

[glitteringpoet1685]

He's so silly

[shinedoitsulikeabright]

Do you guys think there were moments while they were in that horse when Ody's soldiers giggled like middle school girls during a sleepover?

Elpenor: "Oh my gods, Perimedes, shush! You're gonna get us all busted!"

Perimedes: "But this is so much fun, they have no idea! They'll never see it coming! What a bunch of losers!"

Odysseus: "Guys, please, we worked so hard to build this stupid horse. Don't be the reason we lose the war."

Eurylochus: "If they didn't hear them by now, they probably never will. I'm honestly starting to suspect they're all deaf..."

Perimedes: "Heh, that makes our job much easier then."

Athena (to herself): "I have no idea how any of them lasted this long..."
