Odysseus: If your love story was a movie, what would it be? Patroclus: Probably a tragicomedy Achilles: what? why? Patroclus: Because it's got the drama of the war and comedy of your stubbornness. Achilles: And the tragic of your terrible jokes. Patroclus: They're gold to someone... Just not you. Achilles: Wait no-

What had a greater cultural impact: the French Revolution or two gays (Patroclus and Achilles)?

Finished Chapter 14 of The Song of Achilles. Odysseus is Prince of Ithaca now 🤨? Wasn’t he already King during the events of the original story? What is the point of demoting him from King to Prince?

I will say Odysseus is my favorite part of the book so far. He moves the plot at lightning speed and he and Diomedes bring much needed comic relief.

JORGE WILL MAKE A MUSICAL ABOUT THE ILIAD AREGDHFHFJFH?!?!?!

Hear me out, what if it focuses on wrath and grief. With every new "saga", it focuses on a different character and challenge. Until the ending where it all colbinates together for the death of Achilles or the saking of troy. But mostly I NEED, I BEG FOR PATROCHILLES SONGS AND A SONG ABOUT ACHILLES' MOURNING. I also need a Cassandra song and a Neo song..AND SO MANY OTHERS!

Reminder that Greek mythology (or any mythology) retellings are RETELLINGS. They are not meant to substitute the source material, but bolster it

That means that some of them have inaccuracies. Some of them are just plain wrong. Some of them don’t fit in with the world and people of the original work

And that’s OKAY

Because, once again, it’s a reinterpretation, not a repetition. It’s a version of the story colored with someone’s personal biases and that’s absolutely A-OK

As long as y’all don’t start using them as a substitute for the original

(For instance, saying Patroclus was a healer and shied away from fighting, while perfectly accurate in the context of TSOA, is egregiously wrong when applied to the original Iliad

Saying Odysseus told his name to the Cyclops because he was distressed about the deaths of his crew is perfectly fine when it comes to Epic, though in the original myths, it’s more likely to be the much more selfish reason of “you can’t get glory from an event if you don’t put your name on it”

And that’s OKAY

Because it’s a reinterpretation. It’s not going to be a hundred percent accurate, and people need to accept that)

#I'm back on my bullshit :3

[justmiraculousconspiracies]

Odysseus: What's up with Achilles? He has been laying on the floor for like.. an hour now?

Breises: He's a bit overwhelmed

Odysseus: And why is that?

Breises: Patroclus smiled at him
