Sometimes I like to sit and imagine that the reason baby Astyanax didn't cry at Odysseus' appearance is because he instinctively associates war-helms with his father.

Even when Odysseus takes him over to the balcony to drop him, even as his mother cries out at the sight of him in Odysseus' hands, he doesn't cry, because his father is right there with him

The Odyssey, but if Odysseus just got to stay home and chill with his son and goddess bestie.

been obsessing over this musical project lately.

Can't stop imagining the moments Odysseus missed. Little mischievous joys, teaching moments etc. In this scene, Odysseus teaches Telemachus how to braid hair and Athena shares profound wisdom with two of her favorite mortals.

Achilles: See I'm straight but if there was a man I would marry it'd be Patroclus.

Briseis: How do you feel about that, Pat?

Patroclus:

Patroclus: It's not helping with the rumors.

Briseis: I think the kiss you guys shared in my tent isn't helping with the rumors.

Achilles: Yeah I just hate that he didn't give me enough tongue.

And yet I liked to think that I alone would perish here in Troy, far from Thessaly where the horses graze, and that you, Patroclus, would get home to Pythia and be able to fetch my son from Scyros in a fast black ship and show him everything

- Achilles, book 19 of the Iliad

SCREAMING ACHILLES THOUGHT PATROCLUS WOULD LIVE AND RAISE HIS SON 😭😭

Penelope: a short character analysis

SO I’ve been hyper fixated on Greek mythos and Homer’s Odyssey on top of Yours Truly and these two share a name. Names hold a lot of symbolism and Penelope (The Odyssey) is a symbol of faithfulness and fidelity, and she was clever enough to hold off the suitors for 10+ years by weaving and unweaving her tapestry. imo, Nel is extremely loyal to her family (i.e Grace) and also pretty clever as she tends to hold her own against Al, who is the epitome of cunning. I’ve been sitting on this brainworm for a While. Also the name Penelope means weaver or duck, which are both birds 👀👀 @amusingmusie

Gonna be completely honest and say that I never finished The Song of Achilles. i stopped reading at the cave handjob sex scene with the centaur outside. But i still sob hysterically when i think about the book.
