For one reason or another I found many Apollo stans who either claim that an ecranisation made their favourite god completely dirty if he rapes, curses or kills people in it (you know, as if he doesn't do that in a lot of myths...) or accept an actual mediocre depiction of him as long as his bisexuality and effeminate appearance aren’t erased, because everybody knows that these are the core, main, ultimate relevant aspects of his identity and nothing else really matters.

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “The Epic of Gilgamesh” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Book IX: Agamemnon promises many concessions, gifts, and treasures to Achilles if he stops sulking returns to the battle. Including offering to Achilles to marry one of his daughters when the war is over and they return to Greece. To which I say: lol.
