The Iliad is probably one of the funniest books I ever read

Like I'll be having a not-so-good day, then remember how Hector had given himself an entire pep talk to fight Achilles. He saw Achilles running full speed towards him and proceeds to just book it.

Or when Menelaus got shot by an arrow in like in an ultimately nonfatal spot, and Agamemnon begins prematurely mourning him while he's standing there like 🧍‍♂️” you're scaring the men.”

Or when Odysseus is walking around the camps with a royal scepter and is just beating people with it if he finds them packing or suggesting to leave.

Or when Hector is brainstorming on how to face Achilles and for a moment goes, “Maybe I could talk with him, we’re both princes, we can both be rational, I could reason with him… that's a horrible fucking idea.”

I have more, but these, in particular, really tickle me.

Ah-ha! I remember reading somewhere that there were holes in the blades, really nice to see what that actually looked like!

Looks like I won’t be marrying Penelope…

Hopefully the upcoming film will have enough budget for the other 11 axes!

BTS, art refs and more here

Part 1 (this one ) / Part 2

Ok so I wanted to do something about Penelope warrior AU cuz I FUCKING LOVE THE CONCEPT

Idk Odysseus being the prince of Itaca and Penelope being trained by Ares almost her whole life to be the best warrior ever. They met by chance in Sparta when they were young and Ody just falls for her cuz who doesn't like a badass woman who is very capable of kicking your ass if she wants to

Still working on part 2 tho

EDIT: PART 2 IT'S READY

Love in Paradise is my favorite song of the saga...maybe the whole concept album. God, I was in tears.

telemachus’s gorgeous parents, odysseus and penelope

the queen’s gaze is as sharp and cunning as her husband’s, perhaps that is why he overlooked the beautiful helen for her. her bright eyes only seem to soften for him
