#😵‍💫#is he dead or alive?#is he hector?#he isn't it's over #this essay is crazy #andromache literally lives in the past with the dead #she sort of lives in the past in the iliad too #when she tells hector she's soon to be his widow #i imagine vergil was interested by her foresight #but for aeneas the past is lost again and again #the amount of times aeneas loses troy and trojan identity in the aeneid #🔨🔨🔨#aeneid

hector and teucer are the funniest cousin duo ever to me. hector’s ride or die for his family EXCEPT that greek guy who keeps shooting at him. that guy can get hit with fuckass big rock. meanwhile teucer’s so determined to kill hector he shoots like 9 people in the crossfire and when ajax dies teucer immediately sees he used hector’s sword and shakes his fist at the clouds

#ajax is like yeah that guys our enemy but hes pretty honorable lets swap armor bro #meanwhile teucer is shaking with rage behind him like a feral chihuahua #is this how he copes with his Very Clear Generational Trauma is this his coping mechanism #modern au where teucers parents have split custody and he keeps trying to bite hector at family reunions #teucer #hector of troy

"Hector was a good man" "diomedes was an honorable man" BZZZT WRONG. Diomedes was there to steal, burn, and wage war same as the next person. In fact, he was pretty adamant about it. Hector had no issue with the greek's actions, merely that they were directed at him—I mean look at what he wanted to do with patroclus's body, only to then cite respect for funeral rites when it was his own turn to die. Hector also owned slaves within his own city walls—people that he likely took from their homes during troy's own conquests. All that seperated him and the greek warriors was which side they were on.

The Iliad isn't a story about morally upstanding men. Sure, it has men who have honor and perform honorable acts, but these are not good samaritans. It's is a story about war and grief and the real victims of fights between so-called-honorable men and gods. The urge to find a "good guy" in this story is wasted. Hector doesn't have to be morally good just because achilles isn't. Troy didn't lose because they were more or less evil than the greeks. It all just. Is. Because of fate? Because the gods said so? Because people will always make disastrous mistakes and it will always end up biting not only them, but everyone else around them? Who knows? In the end though, doesn't it all feel so pointless in the face of the endless amounts of grief and destruction that war leaves behind? Maybe that's the whole point

#who knows if thats the point homer wanted to make #but with our modern lens #thats the lesson that is the takeaway #the urge to create a good and a bad side is useless here #hector being a loving father doesnt change that hes a warrior #in a city state that came to power by trampling and enslaving surrounding regions #diomedes being obedient to athena and brave to a fault doesn't absolve him from the acts of the greeks of which he was a willing participan #its not about good vs evil #its about greeks vs trojans #and about how pointless that really is #achilles #hector #diomedes #the iliad #homer #the song of achilles #odysseus #agamemnon #hector of troy #diomedes of argos #all that being said #despite achilles being my fave i tend to see the trojans side more #they r dirty little conquerors same as the greeks BUT in this instance they are the defenders so I have some sympathy for them #greek mythology

One thing to know about me is that I also have an annotated copy of the illiad. It’s an abridged version from my childhood and every time Hector’s name is mentioned it’s surrounded by glitter-gel pen hearts bc he was my first crush as a child.

#When I hit my ankle in a scooter and my dad came over he was like oh you hit your Achilles tendon! And I was like my What. And he was like #Achilles tendon! And I was like don’t say that to me.#The scene where hectors is dragged around by Achilles was super fucked up because that was my BOYFRIEND #AND YOU KILLED HIM

reading the iliad is like

who is echepolus? who is agenor? who is peirous?

hi odysseus!! hi achilles!!

who is phegeus? who is eurypylus? who is menesthes?

diomedes!! menelaus <33

who is ttepolemus? who is alcandrus? who is opheltius? who is-

#homer #the iliad #odysseus #achilles #diomedes #menelaus #menelaus was my favourite bevause he was the one i always recognised #also #i was always confused about nestor and hector because of the similar names #i always had to stop for a second to think about which one is with the greeks and which one is the trojan 😭😭🤕
