The fact that Apollo uses a silver bow and a golden sword implies that hes the type of person who combines golden and silver jewelry *shivers*

Odysseus: You knew about this and didn’t tell me?

Patroclus: I don’t have the time to call you every time Achilles has a bad idea.

before i leave for school today i want to say something: i think a point that a lot of myth nerd people miss is that at the end of the day it doesn't matter what you want to label achilles and patroclus' relationship as because it will always be fundamentally queer. these are two men who love each other so intensely one is willing to risk his own life to protect the other one's glory and reputation and the other one is willing to sacrifice his godlyhood and immortality to avenge the other's death. their love for each other breaks almost everything that the people expected from heroes and demigods as we see in plato's symposium -- achilles killing hector and not caring that it meant he had basically been reduced to any other mortal person is the most shocking part of it all, even for the people back then, since he's been fighting to maintain his glory and honor for so long, for the entire iliad in fact, but is willing to throw it all into the air the exact moment his beloved patroclus is killed. it doesn't matter if what they felt for each other was platonic, familial, queerplatonic or romantic, the story in itself is queer in its very roots and has always resonated with the lgbtq community and to try and make it seem like we are foolish for thinking of them as lovers is to disregard the importance that their story has to all of us.

“through madness comes clarity. it is not a descent, it is an ascension beyond the mundane and material. eyes that see only truth and a tongue that speaks the divine language beyond the veil shall let it be known that godhood is obtainable and there is no return.”

That is what is written.

☀️Your Icarian Carrion☀️

I didn’t realize how deeply I related to the story of Icarus until hozier released this damn song and now I’ll never know peace lol. Shout out to everyone who is far too ambitious for their own good and is so desperate to prove themselves that they’d burn up under the pressure of it. Don’t fly too close to the sun my friends, but if you must do not be ashamed of falling.

Someone: Greek mythology is boring.

Greek mythology:

woke up this morning with a silly thing to say

merman achilles x fisherman patroclus au

pat is just living his (honestly kinda shitty) life and randomly comes across this little princess of a guy injured on a beach or smth and brings him home to heal him

(imagine his dad walking in and seeing this on the bathub 💀💀💀)

kinda like in little mermaid achilles falls (dives?) for him and wants to have legs so they can be together. thetis says no because humans suck. someone shows up (prob apollo) and is like "uh actually if he goes to fight that war and be badass and make the greeks win he can keep his legs" and he says yes

anyways brainrot rambling over. im out
