Just had a thought
Once Odysseus realized that they would have to travel through the lair of Scylla, and sacrifice 6 people to her heads, why didn’t he think to keep 6 of the sirens to use as sacrifice? Like, tie them up with the torches so Scylla can have her snacky-snacks and they can pass through; no crewmen would have had to die??? Would that not have worked or was he eyeballing six of his men that just had to go?

I will NEVER get over the part of The Odyssey where Argos, Odysseus’s loyal dog, recognizes Odysseus after 20 years (even though he’s disguised) and THEN DIES.

What would ody be wearing most of the time? A chiton? A chlamys? A toga? A random piece of fabric? Just a tunic with a skirt (fun fact: they found slacks disrespectful)? Full armor? A padded chest? Leather guards? I need answers 😭

a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:
-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings
-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)
-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)
-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)
-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same
-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well
-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped
-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt
-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians
-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be
-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia
-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that
-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told
-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions
-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect
-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think
greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!

Was curious how far Ithaca was from troy today while listening to epic the musical and rereading the illiad and I found this map

I think odysseus would have been better just to walk😭

Rumour has it, although the King of Ithaca had returned to his shores, his throne remained empty for the better part of a year.

*a few months after The Ithaca Saga*
Odysseus: *wakes up at the dead of night drenched in cold sweat*
Penelope: Love? What's wrong?
Odysseus: That prophet son of a bitch- IT WAS ME!
Penelope: What??
Odysseus: I WAS THE MAN WHO WAS HAUNTING ALL ALONG!!
Penelope: *pulling him down and hugging him* ok dear just go back to sleep.
*meanwhile in the Underworld*
Tiresias: Fucking finally that dumbass
