Forget anime! We have Diomedes rampage, Odysseus stabbing the guy through the heart FROM HIS BACK and Achilles piercing Penthesilea ALONG WITH HER HORSE with his spear! (And the dudes throwing rocks at each other)

I need an Andromache retelling where she kills Neoptolemus.

[loresung]

Like streaks of lightning splitting the sky with raucous peals of thunder close on its heels, starbright golden armor flashes through the air and clashes to the blood-soaked, corpse-littered earth. The fiery gaze of the son of Telamon snaps to the horrific sight, and for a moment, he does not comprehend it. He does not recognize the once golden-red hair escaping the terrifying helm. Hair that is darkening by the moment with the wet crimson of blood. He does not recognize the once rage-bright eyes that seize upon him. How could he when these eyes are now desperate and pleading? This unknown man’s mouth moves, bloodstained lips shaping his name — Ajax — with horrifying familiarity. 

Valiantly, the broken man attempts to push himself upright, hand curling around the haft of a broken spear. Then he is… gone. Once bright eyes dimming as the black of death closes upon him. Still and silent as the battle around them — yet Ajax’s arm is moving; his bronze tipped spear is piercing the throat of a Trojan warrior as men are rushing forward to strip the god-crafted armor from the corpse. Ecstatic cheers are echoing over the clash of bronze; he himself is calling for aid in protecting this corpse, to deny the ravenous Trojans their prize, though he hears none of it. 

The great bulwark of the Achaeans crosses the distance in three long strides. The towering shield crashes into the carrion warrior alighting upon the corpse to pick it clean. Ajax stands astride the corpse, bronze spear flashing forward, and the would-be vulture shrieks with pain. He bends to seize the corpse himself, to drag it into friendly lines away from this wall of death, and Ajax becomes as still as the glorious, godlike Achilles. 

For it is Achilles, his beloved cousin, lying broken at his feet.

Greetings and welcome to the official Havoc of the Fallen blog!

Asks and suggestions are more than welcome, we’re glad to see feedback on our work and hope you’ll enjoy what we produce!

Ahem, Havoc of the Fallen is a modern retelling of the Trojan War(mainly the Iliad) and the Odyssey. It mainly follows Diomedes and later Odysseus, but several more characters are in focus of course.

General content warning for the show

Hotf aims to be a really dark story as it focuses on war, death, trauma, mental health and abuse. Just a fair warning for anyone who may be sensitive to the following-

Graphic depictions of death and illness, suicide, SA, child grooming

Each episode will begin with a trigger warning for what it contains of course but these are the basics. Viewer discretion is advised.

[epicthemusicalstuff]

Love how in The Horse And The Infant we see a bunch of the Greek soldiers and big names from the Trojan war- and in Epic they are just never mentioned again. (All the more reason Jorge should do a Iliad musical…)
