And tbh Homer!ody was real for that-

epic!Odysseus and Homer!Odysseus are very different people like epic!ody is like “i cant do this :( this is wrong” and homer!ody is like “oh lol one more war crime to add to the list” and procedes to chuck Astyanax off the wall.

why is achilles the only demigod who's Like That? like he's my boy but u don't see memnon or aeneas or sarpedon acting like him on the reg. why is he so maladjusted? like specifically? I saw his mother once and was so terrified by the sight of a goddess I flung myself to the ground and hid my face in the dirt til she left but I still don't think that accounts for it idk

❓ myrmidons-confessions

I was the one who wrote the achilles/agamemnon 100k slowburn enemies to lovers rpf and put it on the group chat but now patroclus is calling me 'agachilles boy' and laughing about it and asking if I can proofread his mock bardic epic where all his dogs are heroes and killing people, so I fear I've made a mistake. I also can't look achilles in the eye anymore... but honestly I've never seen proof he can read so I might be safe

imagine being the achaeans and your best warrior gets killed by PARIS, after everyone else had awesome deaths at the hands of sarpedon or hector or memnon... like that's literally so embarassing I just know achilles is fucking fuming down in hades rn. I bet the achaeans are gonna put around that paris was guided by apollo, or that paris happened to hit his only weak spot..... anything 2 try and make it less cringe.... lol lol we're popping the biggest bottles tonight. hope helen's there

Why are you writing about the forbidden play?. it´s not real, it´s an hallucination, the Telegony was lost for a reason, also is way more modern than the Epic Cycle, is bad fanfiction, like a shipper´s dream making not canon relations, Odysseus was s.a, Circe´s didn´t have a crush on him in the Odyssey.

In the Telegony, they have a child Telegonus, the boy is not bad, but a little mary suey, like everything he does, is good, like killing his father because he became mad (Odysseus) and didn´t know it was Circe´s child. Like man please let Ody and Pen have a happy live and the same for Circe´s.

And I, enjoyed Madeline's Circe, until the Odysseus part because then I realized it made canon the Telegony!, arrghhh, welp sorry for the rant, but yeah that´s the reason they´re in hell and burning for all eternity. :D

waiting.

odysseus gets sent to the underworld after his death, only telemachus and penelope were both made immortal in the telegony so now HE'S the one waiting for them.

he's eternally looking to the edges of elysium, just waiting for their figures to come across the horizon and being able to hold them in his arms again.

As I wrote on my discord three Iliiad Poems!

Andromache's plead

Inside the chains of dawn

Amidst the rivers of blood

Inside the fallen halls

Where laughter is no more

Inside the Chambers of long

There's a flick of hope

Thundering away despair

As it welcomes the new day.

The day of spring

A day of birth

A new soul took flesh

In Illium's bustling halls again.

The tender string of pearls

Gave way to thundering rain

While poor Andromache

Wasted on felt, humming along the air:

But when did the thunder became the rain?

When did a cuddle became my heir?

When did in mother I became?

(When does a ripple become a tidal wave?) She thought away.

But when did my light in your eyes became ?

When did spring rose again?

When did in mother I became?

As soon as the lyrics end

As soon as her eyes laid against

The stiff and cold bundle of flesh

As soon as her mind saw him again.

As soon as the helmet shine in her end.

As soon as that beast was awake

She could not rest.

Forgive me, is all she said.

En la sombra del ardor

En la luz de la desesperación

Estaba Andromache parada en estupor

-¿Cómo, no puede ser, otra vez?

En él se fijo ella otra vez.

-Héctor ya sabes que el casco no hace bien.

Parado la muralla de valor, aquél corazón habló:

-¿Oh mujer cuándo vas a entender

Que este casco de regreso es?

-No me importa tu razón

Sino las lágrimas que tu primogénito derramó

Al verte entrar en la habitación.

Y como mi corazón se encogió en el salón.

Al quitarse el casco de jabalí y temor

Dejó entrever su rostro

El troyano mejor.

-oh mi niño., oh mi rey.

Por tí acabaría la vida de los argivos sin ley.

Por tí Troya será fecunda, por tí mi vida daré

por que esos aqueos no rocen tu piel.

Y así el sol deslumbró al infante

Envuelto en sábanas de oro y rubor

Así río la alegría de ellos dos

Translation

In fire's shadow

In the light of despair

Still and mute Andromache was.

-¿How, not again?

She in he her eyes were fixed.

-Hector you know no good the helmet is

Standing the greatest wall, his heart spoke:

Don't you know my love

That this helmet is return?

-I don't care what you said

But the tears your firstborn shed

As seeing the room you entered

And shrinked my heart was.

Doning the boar's and fear helmet away

Did he let his face be sawn

The best troyan of them all.

-oh my child, oh muy King

Those lawless argives lives would end

For you Troy fertile will be, my life I'll shed

So those aqueans don't stroke your flesh.

And the kid by the sun was blind

In gold and Red blankets he was.

And then their joy laughed once more

As Previously Mentioned, I Am Kinda Going Through A Greek Mythology Phase Right Now, Which Led Me To

As previously mentioned, I am kinda going through a Greek Mythology Phase™ right now, which led me to creating this painting depicting Klytaimnestra after the murder of her husband, Agamemnon. The snake is in reference to a dream she had, in which she gave birth to and nursed a venomous snake/dragon instead of a child, which is seen as a prophecy of her death at the hands of her own son, Orestes.

I decided to do a bit of research into historical Mycenaean Greek dress, seeing as the Epic Cycle and the events directly thereafter are most likely set in the mid to late Bronze Age and as such the style of clothing and architecture would differ considerably from that of the later Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Periods that is often associated with Greco-Roman mythology.

Then again, I'm not a Historian, Classicist, or anything of the sort, I'm just some random sixteen year old with too much free time on their hands, so I make no promises of accuracy. There are also certain elements that I deliberately left inaccurate, either because it didn't fit the colour scheme, such as the fresco on the wall, which should have had several yellow elements that just looked a bit muddy when I tried to add them, or because I was too lazy to paint them in intricate detail, such as the skirt, which should consist of several layers of different fabric atop each other, but I didn't want to paint all that.

Said skirt is inspired by John Colliers painting also depicting Klytaimnestra after the murder.

Anyway, sorry for the long, nerdy ramble of text, I hope you like the painting and have a nice day :)

Achilles is quite annoying until that big character development in book 24 of the Iliad, but that kinda makes him interesting to paint.

This originally started out as a lighting study, hence the composition and colour scheme being a bit sparse. Also couldn't find that many depictions of male Mycenaean clothing, so most of what he's wearing is just guesswork.
