Quick doodles of Odysseus through the years.

[lyculuscaelus]

It must have been tough, hiding inside the wooden horse hearing the voice of your wife and forcing yourself not to answer.

There, you can hear her calling your names, in the voice of Aegialeia, of Penelope, of Laodameia, and…in her own voice. Do you think Helen would’ve shed a tear when she called Menelaus’s name once again, without any false imitation, but simply as herself?

Menelaus, you were so eager to get up and answer, had Odysseus not stopped you and Diomedes. What were you about to say, Menelaus? That you will kill her where she stands, or that you have already forgiven your wife? Still, I knew it wasn’t just her beauty that spared her life.

And Diomedes—he must have been so in love with Aegialeia, before he went for war. He must have been so sorrowful, having to leave his homeland, upon his wife’s betrayal.

And Odysseus—do you think he would be sobbing in silence, just as a fighter moaning in his ship, a man cut off from his wife and pinned down by gales and raging seas? For wasn’t it Penelope’s voice he was hearing? What else could he do but to keep everyone in check, while clapping his hand over Anticlus’s mouth, keeping him silent—but wasn’t this also a reflection of the struggle in his own heart? Now, the things he’d do for her…

Neoptolemus: I am the most egdy epic cycle son!

Orestes: No! I am!

Neoptolemus: Shut the fuck up! I am!

Orestes: Oh yeah? I have my mommy issues and killed my mother and her lover and I took my cousin prisoner and killed a bastard!

Neoptolemus: Oh yeah? I have daddy issues, I killed a king and a baby on an altar and I took your wife! And without losing my marbles!

Orestes: I'll fucking kill you!

Telemachus: ...

Neoptolemus: What did you do?

Telemachus: Well...I mostly remained in my room sulking and being depressed not having a father and having a depressed mother but eventually I assisted my father lock 108 men in a hall like sheep in a den, I helped him eliminate plenty of them, helped mutilate a slave for life probably he is dead too and I hanged 12 women.

Oreates: ...

Neoptolemus: ...

Telemachus: I was pretty clear when I did that. In fact I did some pest control

Orestes: !!

Neoptolemus: !!

Telemachus: And that happened to the span of one day too

Orestes & Neoptolemus:

WAIT WAIT ARE YOU TELLING ME DEMETER HAS AN EPITHET REFERENCING VENGENFUL FURIES?! WAHT??? >:D!?!

asdfghjkl thank you! really glad u like her lol shes becoming my favouritest to doodle lol. also not at all! i really love that you kept the aspect of her grief that so many are keen to twist to villainise her or erase completely to invalidate her. both are awful imo

heres a quote from le ask (soon i promise 😭😂): "Demeter and Persephone share a strong bond compared to the other gods. After Persephones "death" Demeter was never really the same. Demeter relives the painful cycle annually, and carries a deep rooted bitterness toward the other gods for it."

--

i actually think its hilarious and awesome to see that demeter can be herself with those shes close with (one of my favourite things in characterisations is when you have what seems to be a stern and serious presenting person breaking character at a dumb or inappropriate joke or something to that affect, it kills me everytime its so funny!)

anyway demeter is NOT not be confused with gaia (my girl knows how to have fun lol). but much like the rest of us shes got issues to work with and experiences to heal and grow from *finger guns*. 10/10 i think u did her justice. so much so i drew this for u hehe

under no cicumstances should she meet micheal scott lmao. humanity will never hear the end of "thats what _ said" jokes. ever.

her hair is lime green btw the light is making her blonde :/

Thinking that Filbrick always loved Ford and always hated Stan is like, you didn’t watch the same show I did.

[mintneve]

I couldn't tell you why, but I have always thought that Menelaus was the older brother of Agamemnon rather than the younger. Maybe something to do with Agamemnon's bratty entitled behaviour?

Either way I think it is wild that this is like my fifth or sixth time reading the Iliad and I have only just understood the Atridae birth order.

sooooo guess who bought a book about Botticelli :3 it's so funny because I read Dante's Inferno and the Illiad (I had read it in my native language as a kid but couldn't remember so I read it in English) and I also have a crippling obsession with William Blake especially The Marriage of Heaven and Hell which I keep quoting in my fanfic and now I'm obsessed with Botticelli (I literally booked a trip to Florence, I'm going next month) Hannibal has taken over my whole life...
