Dear children of Priam, were you doomed all along?

[kexytimes]

Paris *shoots Diomedes in the foot and starts bosting instead of killing him*

Diomedes :

Okey, i started reading the iliad and here are some of my favourite things so far:

•Odysseus being done with agamemnons shit ( and calling himself the father of telemachus when everybody else sayse they are son of someone)

• Hector cursing Paris out for kidnapping Helen, starting a war and just existing

• King Priam sying to Helen:

" Come here, my dear daughter, come and sit next to me, you can see the first husband and the brother-in-law and the rest!

I do not blame you in any way, but the gods blame me, who brought the Achaean mercenary army on me."

This was during the fight between Paris and Menelaus

•KING PRIAM SAYING ODYSSEUS HAS BIG TITTIES HAHAHAHHAHAH

The boy had a habit, wanting what shone, So he asked for a fate where he could call her his own. The girl dreamt in secret, of a love so sweet, She wanted to fight but fell for his deceit. He painted her dreams in gold and light, Spoke of a kingdom where love burned bright. And so, she left, as she had once before, Trusting his words yet scared to want more. But then came the whispers, a price to be paid, A thousand ships for a choice she never made. She believed her grace would make him stay, If only for her face, she hoped he'd find a way. But his love was a lie, too fleeting to last, A kingdom built so high, fading too fast. When he turned from her touch, without a word to say, It was an odd thing for her, someone walking away. And that’s when she saw, the truth behind the lies, To them, she was a name, a dream in disguise. His words were never for her, only for what he could see, Her beauty a painting, not a person to be. Now that I know, I must confess, I was the rarest of gems yet something to possess. A war for a face, never love’s desire, My heart forever lost within the city wearing fire.

Do you think Paris can read? Cause while he is now kind of known as a spoiled prince of Troy, sometimes you forget that for most of his childhood he was like raised in the woods.

He was abandoned as a infant out of fear of a prophecy that he would doom Troy and was raised by a shepherd (or sometimes animals) and he grew up in the mountains and like chilled with nymphs and by the time he was reaccepted back to his family he was like a adult.

There is a solid chance he just wasn't properly taught how to read and honestly that makes his relationship with Hector all the funnier.

Omg the last volleyball au comic made me giggle 🤭

It's also funny to imagine Paris (who tries (and fails)to get a girlfriend) suddenly sees Ody not only having a hot girlfriend but a hot boyfriend too hahahaha 🤣

ever since paris found out he’s been praying on ody’s downfall

[orpheus-has-lyreizz]

AU where paris is just a little less of a dumbass

[astrothii]

the whole trojan war could have been avoided if paris just. ate the apple in one comically large bite. athena, hera, and aphrodite would have been stunned into silence.

[qinnyanimation]

The extra comic I did for my crack Thai AU (From this if you’re wondering) I still find the concept of reverse iliad where Paris kidnapped Menelaus funny so, here ya go! Even in this universe Paris is still certified freak.

Oh my god wait. What if the blessings of the gods manifested physically? Like if a god takes an interest in you, EVERYONE is going to see it, for better or worse. And if you lose their favour? Everyone can see that, too

Jason with a peacock tail and feather-crest, both of which go faded and limp when he turns on Medea, so that they drag on the floor and get in the way

Pollux with eagle wings instead of arms, so Castor acts as his hands and that’s why they’re inseparable. When Castor dies and Pollux splits his immortality with him, they each get one arm and one wing, so one can’t fly without the other

Odysseus with a forked tongue and fangs—a subtle feature that he can hide when he needs to. When Athena feels like being helpful (like when she disguises him as a beggar) she’ll cast an illusion over it, but Penelope immediately recognises him by his lisp

When Athena gives Diomedes the blessing of seeing through the gods’ disguises, he also gets owl eyes and the ability to turn his head 180 degrees. This helps when Odysseus tries to stab him in the back on the Palladium heist

HERACLES WITH BULL HORNS. I have nothing to add I just think that sounds sick as hell

Helen grows beautiful golden feathers instead of hair. Nothing useful, just an obvious sign of her heritage that adds to her appeal to the suitors: whoever wins her hand gets to walk around with a physical symbol of Zeus’s favour

Atalanta with antlers that snap when she gets married, leaving jagged shards behind that won’t go blunt and can’t be sharpened down. She can have her husband, but he can’t touch her head without risking badly cutting himself. This can either be one final blessing or a curse depending on how consensual you interpret the marriage

Hector has pristine white raven wings, making him even more terrifying to the Achaeans, flying into battle like divine intervention, and a symbol of hope for the Trojans. Achilles plucks the feathers off his corpse, but they won’t stop growing back. Still, Achilles has a cloak made from them and wears it into battle, turning Troy’s symbol against them

Paris gets dove wings, but he tells everyone they’re too small to fly with because he’s a coward and doesn’t want to have the same responsibilities as Hector. Then he flies away from the duel with Menelaus in front of the entire army, and that’s when Troy finally loses what’s left of their respect for him

Uhhh so I made Menelaus/Helen Iliad Swap AU-

Or as I like to call it Malewife Menelaus AU

Basically everything is the same but Paris kidnaps Menelaus instead of Helen and Helen goes to war to get her husband back!

Nobody dies in the end and they all end up in poly relationship

[ochiody]

paris in the front btw

[wolfythewitch]

Yet think, a day will come, when fate's decree And angry gods shall wreak this wrong on thee; Phoebus and Paris shall avenge my fate, And stretch thee here before the Scaean gate.

[tenoart]

Could you fucking imagine Paris being your little brother? I imagine Hector cared about and loved him but few things sound more frustrating then Paris as your little sibling
