I just had a look online to find if anyone had made a list of all the names of fighters in the Iliad, and I discovered that someone in fact had.

I had.

Me.

In 2015.

I have absolutely no memory of this.

I made a spreadsheet, and even wordclouds ffs.

It’s even got what side they’re on, where they’re originally from, their epithet and patronymic if they have one. Wow.

And, you can filter it by any of these to find which version of a character you need.

Oh my god I even put if they brought SHIPS? I made an excel spreadsheet of the CATALOGUE OF SHIPS. (I’m Dyscalculaic though so they might be wrong ha!)

Anyway, thanks, past-fugue-state-me?!

I’m sure I used it to make the Deaths in the Iliad infographic: https://www.tumblr.com/greekmythcomix/722650261704867840/death-in-the-iliad-an-infographic-originally

Anyway, the ‘names in the Iliad’ post is here with links to the spreadsheet: https://greekmythcomix.com/2015/07/21/fighters-in-the-iliad/

Have fun with it!

Here some of my notes while reading tsc, enjoy!!

"This time he brought Nathaniel and his pet goalkeeper with him."

ANDREIL CAMEOOO

"Half of the drawer was full of mini candy bars. He threw them all into the trash before grabbing a fork and slamming the drawer shut."

Hey do you want end up dead by a 5'2 man those are his treasures

"Jean noticed how Andrew and Neil moved like they were caught in each other’s gravity"

Well they are boy

It didn’t matter that Jeremy Knox was annoyingly easy to look at;

JEAN BISEXUALLLL

“I’m not dealing with this again. Buy some fucking clothes. –W”

Awww this man needs you to have some fashion sense

“Laila, good luck in the kitchen. Cat destroyed it.” Laila looked to the ceiling for patience. “Babe, I left you alone for twenty minutes.”

YESSSS THEY ARE CANON TOOOOO

"Ice cream was her go-to high stress food, so Jeremy attempted his best apologetic smile as he slid onto the seat across from Jean."

Mine too girl

"Jean learned how to sort and wash laundry from Laila and got to know the local grocery store forwards and backwards from going with Cat."

He is like the child of a lesbian couple I love it

"Jeremy, for reasons he could not sufficiently explain, had assigned each line-up a different animal as an alert noise."

AS I already said he is so silly

"It was a regular cacophony whenever Jeremy was over, and as annoying as it was it made Jean think of Renee, who he’d yet to reach out to since arriving in California."

Fighting the demons (bisexuality)

When he met Jean’s eyes, Jean only said, “Focus on what’s important.” “I am,” Jeremy said. Jean opened his mouth, closed it again, and let go of Jeremy without a word. Jeremy snagged his arm when he started to turn away. “Who did this to you?”

NORA WHY ARE YOU DOING THESE TO ME THE WHO DID THIS TO YOU? Powerful move

Neil,” was the quick response, and then, “I am in Los Angeles. We have to talk.”

My baby made a comeback

Friends, he thought again, and this time it almost felt real.

*Cries*

Hey! I've seen all your posts about how Greek gods and characters in mythology should be depicted more like, you know, Greek people, and l just wanted to ask if you think the Trojans would look Greek too :) love your posts btw

Hello! 💙It's important to remember that the large majority of ancient Greeks didn't have a good idea of how people from far regions looked. The further back in history you go, the less they are exposed to other peoples. This is to preface that Greeks' references for foreigners were limited. And if someone was to be very different from the average Greek, they got their own special description in the narrative. (Like the warrior Memnon.)

Of course, Troy/Ilion was very close to Greek areas in terms of latitude. There is almost no difference in geographical latitude, and the people of this area looked like Greeks anyway. It's the distance from the equator that makes people lighter or darker. But when they are the same distance from the equator they evolve similarly in skin tone over thousands of years because they have the same needs for sunlight. Trojans were so close to Greeks that the mixing with other peoples would have been similar. More Eastern peoples might have found their way easier to Ilion than to Greek areas, so there would a difference lie. But due to traveling distances, it wouldn't be very notable, I think, more so if these eastern areas were at the same latitude

But still, the Greeks didn't have much exposure to foreigners, and traveling to Ilion was a feat. From Argos to Ilion it's almost 1.000 kms and it would take 10 months to arrive there by land. Traveling by ship is faster but still not exactly easy, considering the travel to Ilion with the Greek ships was still a daring expedition for their time.

So it's logical to assume that the Greeks drew inspiration from their own people when making these foreign characters. In the text the Trojans are not differentiated in looks and some even have descriptions that show they were fair (whatever our ancients considered fair anyways). They share the customs and pantheon of the Greeks, albeit not being Greeks. Trojans and Greeks understand each other without translators, although their tribes would speak different languages historically. Paris' name is "Alexandros" ffs 😂This shows that the Greeks didn't have a good picture of Trojan (probably Hittite) culture and they didn't wish to delve that deep. It was just a story about a war with "the foreign peoples over there".

Drawing from native culture and appearances when depicting foreigners of other lands has been the go-to for people of old times. It's shown in the text and also in the ancient/medieval art of the native culture. The Persians and the Chinese making tales come to mind but I also imagine that if an ancient Yoruba tribe were to tell a tale of "a very beautiful prince from a faraway northern land" they would depict him as one of their own, and not like a north Egyptian or like an "white" Italian. It comes down to what nations the natives have been exposed the most. If this figure had been established through millennia looking like a native, I'd go by that when depicting them.

Thinking back to Troy (2004). Anyone else feel like it whitewashed the Trojans? IRL they were in West Asia, specifically what is now Turkey. Before Turkey became as diverse as it is now. I’ve been to Turkey and would know.

But then again, so little still is known about Troy, we have no evidence yet on whether ancient Trojans looked like modern day Turks.
