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)

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

~Blog run by @skykiuwu~

Here is where you can see the progress, art, and get updates on the development of the show!

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…)

"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
