I hope they all got to have some get-togethers every now and then—the Achaean kings who settled down in Italy according to some traditions, like Diomedes in Apulia, Idomeneus in Calabria, Philoctetes in Campania…they were together now, unlike the time when they were back in the Greece, scattered around—in Argos, in Crete, in Thessaly…where there was little chance for them to see each other again, until their reunion in death.

#new challenge: get everyone to Italy /j #ok but the way those exiles taking place is literally diminishing Dios boulē concerning their nostoi (which is why it’s not in Homer)#that’s what does not sit right with me #but if you tell me they went there together after a period of leisure back at their homeland #also by the will of Zeus (like how they were sent by Zeus to the “Islands of the Blessed” according to Hesiod)#maybe decreed by Zeus to found a bunch of cities in that place for future cults #that’s the even better version I’d like to accept #tagamemnon #the epic cycle #nostoi #diomedes #idomeneus #philoctetes #greek mythology #lyculī crustula
