The Iliad is a wonderful epic filled with super cool fight scenes, stealth missions, and gut wrenching sadness, but there’s this one moment that lives in my head rent free for absolutely no reason aside from slight amusement.
Not sure which book(chapter) it is, but there is a scene in which Achilles has completed his mourning over Patroclus, and if I’m not mistaken, Achilles was there for twelve days and did not eat or drink anything. Trust me this is important.
Achilles goes and he tells his mates (Ody, Menelaus, etc) that he’s gonna go out and absolutely rip Hector a new one.
Before he goes out though, Odysseus stops him and I kid you not, for at minimum half a page, our boy Odysseus goes on a whole MONOLOGUE about how important breakfast is, and how Achilles needs to at least have some meat and wine before he tears through the Trojan army and turns Hector into his personal ragdoll.
And if I’m not mistaken, Odysseus actually gets Achilles to eat before he leaves. What a guy, getting Achilles to listen to him.
Now go eat breakfast like Homer intended, dear readers. If the great, swift footed Achilles needs to eat breakfast, so do you.

not ready for the moment we actually see Penelope in Epic. because if the first time we see her is also the first time Odysseus sees her I will walk into a river
Why is everyone so obsessed with breaking Telemachus’ bones. Boys, get more creative if you’re gonna threaten a prince, come on😂
To all drivers with a certain yellow and black Camaro, I thank you. The rush of dopamine I feel whenever I see one in the wild is always needed.
YES LETS BRING MORE ATTENTION TO THIS STUFF! ILIAD! ILIA THE MUSICAL LETS GIVE THIS MAN SOME IDEAS (if he wants to focus on Epic though that’s ok)
*slips Jorge 20 bucks*
So how do you feel about the Illiad?
so in other news Pokemon is releasing life-sized Eeveelution (+ Eevee) plushies. this would not be particularly noteworthy except for the fact that the plushies are FUCKING HUGE

Greek mythos brainrot is so bad that Odysseus king of Ithaka can grow mushrooms using my neurons
