What Aphrodite did to Helen is horrible, absolutely. Yet I would never be able to get over that one scene where Helen recognizes Aphrodite after "her desirable breasts".

Respectfully, if I would live in Ancient Greece I would be SIGNIFICANTLY more scared by Dionysus than by Hades.

Homer: Are you aware that many Iliad characters are first time fathers? That all of them in one way or another misses a big chunk of their children’s life or never gets to see it at all?

Also Homer: leaves and never elaborates

A doodle for random parenting shiz basically. Order from left to right, top to bottom:

-Menelaus carrying a sleepy Hermione. @hermesmoly I was drawing this when the request came lolol

-Achilles and baby Neo. I don’t know if it’s a thing in other places but hanging on father’s leg and then let him moves it back and forth like an impromptu swing is quite a favorite pastime activity here.

-Odysseus and baby Telemachus who was trying to be a helicopter

-Hector and baby Astyanax when he was born.

-Probably Agamemnon and his three daughters, but I have no official designs. He tried to scold them and was failing. Tbh I feel like Agamemnon would be the type to cosplay buff Bubble from Powerpuff girls along with his daughters. I know he’s not that great but me delulu.

-Patroclus and Neoptolemus. Yes Patroclus contributed in raising him as well, the kid had 2 dads. Fight me.

may i humbly request some MeneLen for the people 🙏 (you can also add Hermione and your Megapenthes if you wish!) 

I.AM.SPEED.

Btw happy birthday!!!!

A doodle of Menelaus and Hermione giving Helen a bundle of flowers during their earlier years. Hermione tried to make a flower crown but she failed and Menelaus saved the day as their daughter fell asleep.

Spartan Princesses and their husbands (B&W version)

To everyone who draws Menelaus with long beautiful mermaid ginger hair, I thank you for your service

I suffer from a bad case of the blond-men-enjoyer disease it is incurable and I will die from it

PYLADES: I'll take care of you.

ORESTES: It's rotten work.

PYLADES: Not to me. Not if it's you.

Part 2 of my Bronze Age Iliad designs: Trojan Boogaloo!

there’s not nearly as much info online about ancient Anatolian/Hittite costuming compared to Mycenaean, but I had fun trying to fill in the gaps :’))

i realized i couldn’t keep doing iliad comics/fanart without having some more polished character designs, so here we go! mycenaean-inspired iliad part one: the achaeans <3

A friend helping form afar🌊

I started watching Troy: Fall of a City because, why not? I knew it wasn't that good according to my friends who have seen it, and they know all about the Trojan War or epic Trojan cycle. But I wanted to see it mainly because I found out that Penthesilea is there, and I love her, but when I saw her in the series, my heart broke.

Penthesilea in the series:

That's not my girl.And I don't want it to sound like an insult to the actress, she did well, I'm just not happy with the series itself

Alcibiades would like a word
