girls when book 6 of the iliad </3

Hector died knowing his wife would be raped and his son would be killed, and that in a way it was his fault for not being strong enough.

I just want to hug him

Agamemnon and Menelaus✨️ (sorry if I wrote the names wrong. I read the iliad in different language)

I just realized my favorite characters are Achilles and Odysseus.

I love characters with sea god issues and leg problems who cried the whole book

these are my babies, and if you hurt them - you die (shash, none of them is dead)

It's just too easy to draw him in dress

Achilles and Patroclus are my achilles' heel

King Priam: What do you have there?

Achilles: a smoothie

he really did kind of died for him

REASONS ODYSSEUS SHOULD ADOPT ME:

I have wavy hair (like in the sea?) (Ugh I'm not funny)

I don't have blue eyes

I LOVE Athena

I also love Telemachus, but we're very different, so I'm sure we can fight like siblings

I can weave

I can sword fight

My biggest dream is Odysseus to be my mentor (or Athena!)

I'm vegetarian, so ill never eat Helios's sacred cattle

im good at math!

Ody's probably taller than me

I (for no reason) ship Hermes and Hephaestus

PLEASE tell me I'm not weird and there's something in this ship😭

i love it when odysseus and penelope

Dorian and Achilles: *killin' ppl*

Me: they're so adorable🥹

It's just- they're so cute- and they're young and blond-

Wikipedia: Homer hid the love of Achilles and Patroclus

Wikipedia literally five lines ago: The relationship between Patroclus and Achilles is one of the main factors that drive the plot in the Iliad. Homer described the friendship between the two as close and emotionally intense. When Patroclus is killed, Achilles says that his pain is greater than he would have felt from the death of his father or son. Apollo comments that Achilles' feelings for one another are out of the ordinary, even between siblings or parents and children.
