I hate dating apps I need to meet the love of my life more organically*
*in hand-to-hand combat before the great walls of the City of Troy
#Icariasia daughter of Priam was seized by Artemis who wields the Golden Arrows and the goddess spoke to her:#fast-footed daughter of kings you have run for many a year and bested many great and renowned Trojan men#in all the arts and sports contrived by Athena the daughter of Zeus who bears the golden aegis#but the gods warn you now that you shall soon face upon this blood-drenched field a daughter of the greatest of the Achean kings#who will match you in all of the arts and sports played at funeral games in honor of the gods for practice of war#and though you now curse the name of the golden-haired enraged Achilles for the death of your many brothers upon this field#you soon shall deny my twin Apollo’s libation and make libations instead to silver-eyed Athena goddess of strategy and war#because her daughter of like mind to strategy and arts shall best you in combat and yet shall spare you#and carry you back to the hollow ships beside the sea#and for that favor and for the spangled mind of a child of Athena daughter of Zeus who widens the heavens with thunder#you shall betray your father and return as willful captive to the strange isles where Helen with the lovely woven braids was born#Iliad#homer#sorry uh I think I was briefly possessed by my past life self
