I know that Asia was just the ancient greek word for East (or at least meant it in some capacity), but the idea that Hera's offering Paris a continent he has no idea exists (or if he does, isn't even named that yet) is HILARIOUS

asia minor baby

#also “asia” very vaguely rhymed with “king of” and i just ran with it tbh #all fall together #greek mythology #trojan war #judgment of paris #tagamemnon #paris of troy #the iliad

Opinion on Helen? I'm really curious of the direction you're gonna take for her character in all fall togeter

i think that helen isn't as black & white as some people portray her (or lack thereof?) and a big part of my interpretation revolves around autonomy vs the illusion of choice

there are choices that helen makes (however misguided/"wrong") and she/other people have to face the consequences for them. basically, she's human and flawed but i wouldn't say the war is her fault lol

Surging currents getting louder and louder & Achilles just keeps screaming at him

#they hacked canvas bro

Saw your posts about asks (it's been 3 hours but still), so here I am.

What is your favourite translation of the Iliad? There are so many, and they all read so differently, as things like race and gender often influence not only how the character reads, but also the main events of the story. Which version have you read/enjoyed?

i have many answers!

Samuel Butler – this is my primary translation for two reasons: i'm much better at processing prose rather than the original poetic form. butler's translation was created in such a way that reading it and comprehending it was much easier for me. also, the cover is pretty (it's the golden B&N edition with both the iliad and odysseys)

Emily Wilson – i also reference wilson's iliad for a subversive take! i think that her translation creates nuances for critical thought that the other translations may not impart

Robert Fagles – this is my third translation that i use to compare notes to Butler/Wilson as a baseline! kind like a control group for the other two, since it's also one of the most commonly used translations
