Something that will never not be funny to me is how in his Divine Comedy, Dante goes out of his way to specify that every single Trojan is in Limbo (aka: the place all good Pagan souls go).

He only mentions a few by name, like Hector and Aeneas, but he says they're all there.

All of them.

Every single Trojan ever.

And he then proceeds to move on to the 1st circle of hell and who do we find?

Paris.

Paris is literally the only Trojan in hell.

Dante really said "man, the Trojans were all so amazing and cool and brave...except for Paris, fuck that guy, am I right?" and I find it hilarious.

#Everybody hates paris #Doesn't matter the century #If you like the Iliad you hate Paris #I'm joking I love him actually #but you know #he's kinda...#dante's inferno #the iliad #trojan war #paris of troy #hector of troy #aeneas #dante's divine comedy

book 23 in the iliad is just so fucking funny to me. half of it is basically just athena looking at diomedes and odysseus and being like 'omg theyre my boys look at them go' and then sabotaging the entire competition so that they can win.

also theres apollo being a bitch and denying teucer his shot because he didnt pray and knocking the whip out of diomedes' hand which was fucking hilarious

#diomedes #odysseus #athena #the iliad #homer #teucer #apollo #book 23 the iliad #book 23 #greek mythology #no but like can we talk about that lmao #the iliad is kinda silly <3

i just started reading The Song Of Achilles and i’m in love with the way Patroclus describes Achilles 🤍

“In the huge hall, his beauty shone like a flame, vital and bright, drawing my eye against my will. His mouth was a plump bow, his nose an aristocratic arrow. When he was seated, his limbs did not skew as mine did, but arranged themselves with perfect grace, as if for a sculptor. Perhaps most remarkable was his unself-consciousness. He did not preen or pout as other handsome children did. Indeed, he seemed utterly unaware of his effect on the boys around him.” (Chapter 4)

“He looked different in sleep, beautiful but cold as moonlight. I found myself wishing he would wake so that I might watch the life return.” (Chapter 5)

“There was a vividness to him, even at rest, that made death and spirits seem fool-ish.” (Chapter 5)

“When he smiled, the skin at the corners of his eyes crinkled like a leaf held to flame. He was like a flame himself. He glittered, drew eyes. There was a glamour to him, even on waking, with his hair tousled and his face still muddled with sleep.” (Chapter 5)

“This was more of the gods than I had ever seen in my life. He made it look beautiful, this sweating, hacking art of ours. I understood why his father did not let him fight in front of the others. How could any ordinary man take pride in his own skill when there was this in the world?” (Chapter 5)

“Something in the way he spoke it drained the last of my anger from me. I had minded, once. But who was I now, to begrudge such a thing? As if he heard me, he smiled, and his face was like the sun.” (Chapter 5)

“I did not mind anymore that I lost when we raced and I lost when we swam out to the rocks and I lost when we tossed spears or skipped stones. For who can be ashamed to lose to such beauty?” (Chapter 6)

#i’ve read around 1/3 of the book #still pretty new to greek mythology but i kinda know the story of Iliad and Homer so that’s made reading this a bit easier #the song of achilles #tsoa #achilles #patrochilles #patroclus

At my aunt and uncle's house, they used to have a huge stone relief of Achilles dragging Hector over their fireplace.

It was there when they bought the house, and they later removed it to redecorate. But who put that over the fireplace. Who thought, oh this is great, this is what I want to see every morning from my open plan kitchen as I eat my cereal.

I have questions.

#the iliad #it was so weird because the stone was kinda dark and it wasn't immediately noticable what was depicted.#and then after a while you'd notice it and be like #huh #alright.

Kind of tired of posts that go "Patroclus wasn't a softboi!!!!"

Patroclus actually was a softboy, he always was kind and treated everyone well, even the enslaved women.

He was loved by everyone in the army, do you honestly think that someone who was constantly aggressive would be liked by everyone?

He was a softboy, who also happened to be a total badass and killed people like it was nothing, those things aren't mutually exclusive?

What happened to "the duality of a man"?

#greek mythology #iliad #trojan war #Patroclus #patrochilles #greek myth #tagamemnon #Not gonna lie. right now I'm picturing Patroclus giggling like a teen girl while completely covered in blood #ramblings #Bro. If you just want a masculine character who is aggressive and kinda gay. There's Diomedes right there

fancasting the iliad again, i genuinely think jacob elordi would be a great paris.

like you might have to watch saltburn and see him as felix to get the vision (check the tws!) but the vision’s there! he’s so talented and i think he would do a great job with the role.

the only problem for me is how tall he is😭he’s 6’5 according to google and i’ve never imagined paris as being particularly tall lol.

#the iliad #the odyssey #homer #emily wilson #tagamemnon #greek mythology #paris of troy #jacob elordi #“pretty paris’’ ITS LITERALLY HIM!!!#the only thing that could kind of make me like paris 🤷🏽‍♀️#could also kinda see him as hyacinthus!

Astyanax, was thrown down from that tower, from which he used to see his father, Hector, whom Andromache, his mother, pointed out to him, as Hector fought for him, and protected the ancestral kingdom.

-Ovid’s Metamorphoses

What if i just end it, huh?

tfw your dad died when you were like four and you spent the next ten years of your life training to avenge him and when you do avenge him you just move on to the next war. and then the next. all you have known is war. and everyone wants you to be more like your father. he is a warning of all that you could become. you don't remember him. you are your father's son. you know you are nothing like him. you both were pawns in the gods' games.

#does this make sense #just finished rereading book 5 and i'm having Thoughts #something something you cant escape your father's blood #thinking about athena literally using diomedes like a weapon #and tydeus being doomed no matter what he did #diomedes #tydeus #the iliad #the thebaid #kinda #tagamemnon #fil.txt
