athena went out looking for a champion of wisdom and ended up being the babysitter to the world’s most brain dead genius for a 10 year field trip

tip: don’t tell blind cyclopses your personal info, especially when you’re the reason he’s blind

We’re talking about the golden trio’s dynamic but let’s talk about lore expansion!! Monsters sense where you are weakest and that depends on the monster. No demigod will be hit the same way, therefore this reflects on how the original mythic quests were undertaken in the first place: always a lesson, a test of faith, an individual undertaking facing your own flaws and destiny. The show is heavily reinforcing what we’ve been told the whole time. Quests are not simple fetching errands or a revels for glory. Quests, as far back as mythic Greece and the dawn of time, has always been about fighting one’s fate. So what does this mean for the gods? At least heroes have a purpose. Who are gods if not victims of their own design?

Favorite epic song???

Love ur art btw <33

hi i know this probably means my favorite song that i consider to be epic sounding BUT ive been bingeing EPIC the musical for the past few weeks so my brain instantly went to “just a man”

#ask #music recs #<- kinda #for real epic the musical has had my brain in a CHOKEHOLD for the past few weeks #when I made the tiresias video I was only tangentially aware of it #but recently I gave the finished sagas a listen and OUGH MY BRAIN #got me out here reading the Homeric classics for the first time since lit class in school

Me *while looking for a new fic to read*: I wonder if there’s any Iliad fanfiction.

My Brain: Yes. It was called The Aeneid, and you didn’t like it.

Me: And now I’m wondering what an Iliad fix-it!fic would look like….

#classic literature #my brain #yes is a conversation I had with myself #the iliad #homer’s iliad #virgil's aeneid

the fact that I cannot find a gif, or even the scene itself to make my own gif, of that bit in simpsons where homer gets mad at a commercial and yells "that's bullsh**t man" (it's bleeped in the ep) to use to respond to things is, in fact, bullshit man

#homer saying that has been lodged in my brain and pops up whenever I see bullshit #yet I can never find the scene and I've looked multiple times #other people seem to remember him saying that so I hope this isn't a mandela effect

it's so fascinating to me that we go so little of menelaus in the iliad (arguably the OG text that you find him in [okay, i suppose he's more in the odyssey, but even then it's limited]) and from ancient to modern times his portrayal can go so many ways. and they're all so different. how do we get such varying degrees of man from the same limited source?

#this will be my pHD i can feel it #and i completely respect that like euripides and sophocles may have had #texts and things that we dont have now. i TOTALLY get that #but euripides and sophocles and seneca all treat him differently as well #boring white bread and asshole can often intermingle tbh #who is menelaus? who is he really? the brain itches to know.#*locks the door* lets talk about this #'you can argue this about others' not to this extent. and im mainly going off .....#'screen time' for lack of a better phrase #other characters give us sO MUCH more to work with in the homeric pieces #so you have arguments for many sides #menelaus? not really. and YET.#who is menelaus? i ache to know him....

Every time I see someone twisting Hades abducting Persephone into something romantic and claiming it to be real myths, I want to recite the Homeric Hymn to Demeter like a monk reciting sutras to ward off spirits.

#homeric hymns #homeric hymn to demeter #abduction of persephone #greek mythology #watched the BOZ trailer and already see people flooding in saying how Hades is the good guy and not a villain #is kidnapping assaulting and forcing a goddess to marry you NOT a thing a villain do?#if you're mocking on Zeus for doing that on women then Hades isn't any better #don't even pull that “it's just one time it's better than many times”#ONE TIME ASSAULTING SOMEONE IS ONE TIME TOO MANY #sometimes i'm tired of arguing with people about this #so i just recite the homeric hymn like a prayer and hope some of the words get into their brain

currently reading The Tears of Achilles by Hélène Monsacré to prepare for my rereading of the homeric epics… it’s so interesting

#last year i read the iliad in 3 days #and the odyssey in 2 #but this year uni is destroying my brain and i want to annotate/analyse both so it’ll probably take longer #anyway i love homer #and this book by monsacré is really good for now #homer #iliad #classics & gender #classics studyblr #classics

i’ve really wanted to post about hua cheng as theseus, but i have no clue how to translate my thoughts, bc it’s just a jumble of “stain them, i don’t care” and “fuck he’s the king of athens he invented ghost city” and “FUCK it’s the red string that saves you from the maze” and “lmfao trans ghost shapeshifter ship of theseus motherfucker”

(quote dump beneath the cut)
