Same, fuck Paris! but not in that way, all of you, gods, keep away of him, don't protect him and don't... Involve intimately with him, let The Achaeans do their thing
I’m sick rn so might as well blame it on Paris of Troy
Okay, so, imagine this, you're a young man, drinking something in a bar, minding your own business, and suddenly this kid comes to you and tells you that he admires you, cute right? Nice, isn't it? But then, the kid told you he punched someone you know, some of your friends, and okay, that's not that cute, like, ¿?, but THEN the kid keeps talking and saying things, asking you how you get where you are, so you tell him about your life, and how the fact you graduated so fast was because it was your parents dying wish before they passed, and the kid was happy about that. MAN?? and he said he WISH THERE WAS A WAR? Wow this kids nowadays. Anyway, you decide to tell the kid, in a very polite way, that he's been too much, like, yes. So you buy him a drink and gave him an advice. He's handsome, you see it, so you just tell him, again, very politely, that he must just shut up and look pretty. Of course it is because if no-one knows what your thinking no-one can use it against you, and not just because he's disturbing you. Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.
So, my family thinks I'm asleep, and I'm trying not to SCREAM BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING SAGA AND IM LITERALLY JUST ROLLING AROUND IN MY BED AND KICKING MY FEET AND BITING MY FIST AND !!!!
I'm dead. Nobody talk to me, I'm gonna listen it on repeat and jump happily every time I listen it for the next 3 weeks
(Merry christmas and happy holidays to everybody, stay safe and drink water)
Athena in God games, basically
"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.
I saw a lot of posts, where is implied that Apollo in God Games doesn't care about Odysseus and his situation at all. But what if it's other way around and Apollo just cares too much?
Mythologically Apollo and Hermes are friends. And looks like Hermes cares about his grandgrandson (Odysseus' grandfather is son of Hermes). Hermes was the only god who helped Odysseus even without being asked, just because Hermes wanted to help him.
I just imagine, that Hermes keeps an eye on Odysseus and constantly chatters to Apollo about him, calling him Ody. So thats why Apollo choose such a ridiculous reason as sirens, and uses "Ody" - he wants to help just because of his friendship with Hermes.
I hate too much when people it's like "nooo but Eurylochus wanted to left all the crew on Circe's, he's too selfish and hypocrite when he got mad at Ody sacrificing only 6 men" PARDON ME? Look, get in his shoes just a moment.
You're a man who finally finally got out of war after 10 years, because your king promised to protect a marriage which wasn't even his, you faced a literal Cyclop who KILLED some of your friends, your king decided to say ALL HIS LIFE INFORMATION which okay, you can left that pass because noone of you thought it could do some damage which it did, but eh.
Next, your king, dear friend of yours and your goddamn brother in law, decided to go piss some god in their domain, but hey, Aeolus help him, so, okay?? But he came back with a bag, which was kinda sus, and he told y'all not to touch it, which was even more sus. So, okay, you opened it, because, c'mon, he's done some stuff, like almost killing a friend and tell all of them he did it because a spell everybody knew he lied, just because he wanted the social status stealing something without help would gave him. HOWEVER it was not treasure but wind. So, ups, you fucked up the things a bit.
AND THEN, MAN, by the gods something happend. Literally, a God happend. PO-SEI-DON HIMSELF APPEARED, and he did it because of your king. And okay, yeah, when you opened the bag you ended on the island he was. But let's be real, he's the fucking god of the ocean, wherever you where, he will find you, it is HIS DOMAIN. So, apparently, your king hurt his son, who was the Cyclop, and in the moment he said his name and all, he doomed y'all.
So Poseidon killed most of your crew and friends. But you could escape, ending on an island, and you were about to tell your captain, your king and friend, that you opened the bag, because you felt guilty. But nono, he told you to talk to him later and search something. You went with some crew, just a few of them, and found a palace, inside there was a woman, who invited y'all. You decided not to go, but your men were hungry and stupid and entered. She was a witch. She turned them into pigs.
WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?? She's super powerful, the last time you faced someone super powerful, your crew reduced, from 12 ships to 1. As the second in command, basically the captain when the captain is off and now he's off, you're the lider right now and here, so no, you are not willing to lose more men, let's ran away, there's nothing you, a simple mortal, can do.
Is this hubris or sleep deprivation
campbell bain. reblog if you agree
Okay, so, I was (hello! Nice to meet y'all people from Tumblr) drawing Eurylochus after my math test today and he had this baby face and I was like, c'mon man, seriously? And then I said, young Eury. BUT a song popped into my mind (it was If I Were A Man) and I thought, Man you remember how Eury was the only one who didn't came inside Circe's palace? What if if this is because Eury is a trans man? (Yeah, I know, maybe not much sense by now, I just... Felt it) Like, Circe's spell was doing something with the testosterone of the men, and Eury is not on T (many years on the sea and almost dying, plus ancient greek medicine, may do that to you), so the spell didn't work on him.
That's it, that's the post, thanks for your attention.
