Honestly every time I see the Greeks portrayed as feeling bad for all the war crimes they’ve done in Troy it reminds me of this:
#it’s not that it can’t be done well or that there isn’t any basis to it in ancient sources#but to center the men who caused the suffering and never stopped causing it#and only feeling bad after all is said and done feels iffy to me#like no idgaf If Agamemnon and Odysseus felt bad bc they should feel bad#so every time I see a retelling portraying them as ‘cartoonishly evil’ I’m like yeah that tracks#real life war criminals really are that evil it’s been crystal clear especially the last few months with the genocide in Gaza#greek mythology#ancient greek mythology#greek pantheon#agamemnon#odyssey#Odysseus#tagamemnon#Achilles#patroclus#Iliad#Troy#the Iliad#Trojan war#cassandra of troy#hector and andromache#andromache of troy#astyanax#neoptolemus#diomedes#briseis#Clytemnestra
