I call this one "Achilles looking for his cloak"

(Patroclus in the background)

Happy pride month to gilgamesh and enkidu for inventing gay people and happy pride month to achilles and patroclus for taking that shit to the next level

for one whole year of the trojan war patroclus let any and every animal inside the tent, straw dogs, horses, cats, mice, birds, etc. he had to stop because 1. the cats tried to eat achilles and 2. the tent was swarmed by bees

My question is; how does one get swarmed by bees in this way? Did Patroclus bring a queen in and she made a new hive? Someone scold him.

Are we even gonna discuss how the only thing that made Achilles actually SMILE after Patroclus’s death was Antilochus winning that games during Patroclus’s funeral??

From Book 23:

“Thus spake the youth; nor did his words offend;

Pleased with the well–turn'd flattery of a friend,

Achilles smiled: "The gift proposed,

Antilochus!”

rereading song of achilles and its just like:

achilles: my mom cant see us on the mountain

patroclus: what

and they just immediately start making out

My friend Patroclus, whom I loved

Forgot to post this here too

purple--queen

Odysseus: How are your dogs so well behaved?

Patroclus: Experience.

Odysseus: So you had dogs before?

Patroclus: No but-

*Achilles running around with something he should not have*

Patroclus: Achilles! Put that down! Now!

Achilles: But-

Patroclus: I said now!

*Achilles puts it down still complaining*

Patroclus: Anyway I-

Odysseus: Oh it's okay. I understand.

I'm sorry I have to say this but I think this is what double standards looks like in Greek mythos talk;

Them: Clytemnestra did nothing wrong! Ever! Me: You mean...apart from cheating, murder, coup and child abuse? Them: Shut up misogynist! She was a grieving mother and any mother would do that for her child and men cheat too and Agamemnon is a piece of trash and had it coming! Me: And Cassandra too, I presume...and her other children Them: You do not understand! She was traumatized and she has been through a lot! She was forced to marry Agamemnon even if he killed her husband and child so of course she would turn like this! They made her do that! Me: So...if trauma excuses any horrible behavior shouldn't that also apply for the Atreides too? Them: Fuck no! They are men! They can never have it as hard as Clytemnestra! Meanwhile the Atreides: Their mother was sold to a relative by her own father to drown because she was having a fling with a slave and then she was married to Atreus whom she proceeded on cheating on him with his brother Thyestes. Thyestes being a man wishing to do anything for power even to cheat on his own brother thus using his lover to collaborate with him. Atreus arguably being one of the scariest figures of myth takes revenge for adultery to the sickest level by killing his nephews and feeding them to their own father and taunting him for it. Thyestes raping his own daughter so he can have his revenge. Atreus raising Aegisthus under his own roof. They becoming exiles when their father got killed and Aegisthus did the full coup after arguably facing the most traumatic childhood a child of myth could go through and had to claw themselves back to their original place... Me: ... Me: Yeah they had "La Vie en Rose" playing at the background of their childhood alright. Trauma definitely doesn't apply to them...

Just to be clear I am NOT saying that Clytemnestra had it easy or that her emotions are not valid but if one always uses the trauma as an excuse rather than an explanation for someone's bad deeds in myth then I have to say that the Atreides had all the reasons to become villains and they chose not to and I believe we do not appreciate that enough

And no Agamemnon did NOT want to sacrifice Iphigenia. It was a dictation of the gods and he had no way of refusing that.
