Thanks for the updates! I don’t want to spread misinformation so I’ll go ahead and delete the post.

I'm glad to help.

I do think playing with the possibilities of reincarnation is a lot of fun mind you, I play with it in my fics too. It just doesn't have much mythological support lol. There may be some philosophical support of course, but I'm not the *most* educated on all the various philosophers of Ancient Greece, haven't made them a focus yet beyond what I studied in rhetoric.

I do wanna talk to your professor sometime cause I'm wondering what his sources are for the Achilles stuff and Thetis mythology. I know the Metis myth fits what he claims of Thetis but no source I've read on Thetis mentions the prophecy the way he mentioned it.

Anyways, I do hope you have fun with your fic idea? I mean, idk if you plan to write it lol but if you do that would be an interesting play. I do enjoy playing with reincarnation (my fav is Pallas reincarnating as Percy).

#i didnt touch on the styx stuff cause theres quite a few versions elaborating on hwr #but I think ots Hesiod? who tends yo do his own thing myth wise with stuff #might be mixing him up with someone else mind you #anyways I dont disagree with the styx stuff so much #have some clashing sources but thats mythology for you lol #im glad my info was helpful tho #very curious as to your professors sources #cause I dont claim to know all tje sources but I did try to find stuff supporting what they said before replying #and I couldnt find anything so maybe its a lesser referenced source?#or he mixed up metis and thetis at one point?#anyways if you want my sources for everything I can provide i know I only cited the one homeric hymn #but I do have more just had limited characters in replies so didnt list them-#life answers #eternally mortal #regardless i hope you enjoy the myths!
