Admetus and Alcestis my beloveds!!!! I love them so much, their myth is so underratted.

Some info for those who never heard of them:

Admetus was a king of Pherae, he was one of the argonauts and took part in the hunt for Calydonian boar. After Apollo killed the Cyclopes (to avenge Asclepius' death) he was banished from Olympus by Zeus and ordered to serve Admetus. And the fell in love because of course they did.

Alcestis was a princess of Iolus. She had many suitors so her father said that she will only marry a man who will came to her riding a chariot drawn by a boar and a lion. Apollo helped Admetus with this task and Admetus and Alcestis got married.

Admetus however was supposed to die a few years later and when Apollo found out about it he tricked the Fates (by some accounts he made them drunk lmao) and they agreed to let Admetus live but only if he finds someone to die in his place. Admetus was known for his hospitality, justice and kindness but despite that nobody wanted to take his place, not even his old parents. In the end Alcestis volunteered. In Euripides' "Alcestis" Apollo tried to convince Thanatos to not take Alcestis but left after he prophesied that Heracles will save her. (it's also implied that Apollo was ready to fight Thanatos for her, because he came with a weapon and when Thanatos asked him why does he have a bow on him, Apollo only says that he always carry it. 🙃)

Admetus couldn't imagine living without his wife so he wanted to die with her but she told him that he has to stay alive and care for their children and Admetus swore that he will never remarry. Apollo's prophecy came true and on the day Thanatos came for Alcestis, Heracles visited Admetus and when he found out about Alcestis' death he went to her tomb and wrestled Thanatos until he gave Alcestis' soul back. A happy ending for once 💕

So, you know all the different interpretations in how people draw (epic) Odysseus ?

Examples:

(Gigi, duvetbox, aniflamma, Ximena Natzel, and Wolfythewitch respectively)

What version of Odysseus (including but not limited to these examples) would win against the others in a fight?

Comment / reblog with the Odysseus drawings you want to see, and who you think would win. Polls start soon

Do you think Poseidon knows how to surf? Or do you think he would be secretly bad at it and just lie to everyone?

He is an excellent surfer and he would challenge anyone to beat him

it's his favorite sport after horse riding

You ever think about the fact that Ares was a baby at some point ?

the interesting thing is that when you say things like 'the united states is beyond saving' people view that as a defeatist statement that is giving up on the hope of a better future, but frankly the thought of a significant number of people on the planet being willing and able to say that there is no place for colonial empires in their vision for the future is, to me, a much brighter and more hopeful political standpoint than the thought of being stuck in a perpetual cycle of choosing 'the lesser of two evils' as the overton window pushes further and further to the right with nothing but enthusiasm from our so-called progressive party.
