I'm tired of people calling Alexander the Great Greek, his ass is Macedonian, sure the Ancient City of Pella is now part of Greece but it was previously the capital of Ancient Macedonia.

The Ancient Greeks regarded Alex as a Macedonian, not as a Greek.

If anyone has rights to Alexander the Great it's North Macedonia, not Greece.

#literally a pet peeve of mine #stop calling my boy Greek #history #alexander the gay #alexander the great #mini rant #rant post

Every now and then I remember that I have a Google doc open with an unfinished fic chapter in it that at least 1 person is maybe waiting for...

Anyway, after like a month or two I finished the chapter and published it.

Will the cycle repeat itself? Probably but still I keep trucking on.

Balius/Xanthus looking at Patroklos after throwing Achilles off their back for the 50th time.

#Why does he look like a guilty dog?#Patroklos #Achilles #Balius #Xanthus

Antilochus: "Thanks for helping me with training Patroklos, I would've asked Aias but he takes training too seriously." ☺️

Patroklos: "Don't mention it Antilochus, now I should probably get back before Achilles realises that I'm gone." 😇

[Cut to Achilles waking up in an empty bed]

Achilles: "Patroklos? Patroklos! My beloved where'd you go-" 😭

#Achilles has separation anxiety #He doesn't like sleeping alone either #achilles x patroclus #patrochilles #greek mythology #incorrect quotes #meme #achilles and patroclus #achilles #patroclus #Antilochus #shitpost

Aias [Telamonian]: "You think you can take on Patroklos?"

Akhilleus: "Do I think I can take on Patroklos? I mean yeah, he's not that big." 😇

Aias [Telamonian]: "No, cousin, I meant at a Pankration." 🤨

Achilles: "Oh, that's a no then, he'd probably strangle me with his thighs until I pass out... Actually, on second thought I might just challenge him-" 😈

Aias [Telamonian]: "Achilles no-"

Praise Priapus and his monster cock!

#i'm burdened by this knowledge #Priapus #Greek mythology

Achilles is a needy bottom, Patroklos is a power bottom.

Achilles is a submissive top, Patroklos is a dom top.

But in the end, they are both versatile switches.

My pet peeve is when people depict Greek Homeric characters with short hair, they were called "long-haired Achaeans" for a reason and I'm dying on this hill, give the men long hair!!!

I agree - unless that character is Diomedes.

I believe he cares more about practicality than appearance, and that's why he keeps his hair cut unfashionably short and wears plain bronze most of the time (the exception being Iliad book 6, when he swaps with Glaucos and wears a gilded breastplate for the rest of the day).

This hc is based on certain lines in the Iliad (which I may or may not look up later) and, of course, Aegialia's wonderful two lions at midnight (which you should definitely read if you haven't already, its my favorite series on ao3)

Translator: Augustus Taber Murray (1924-5?)

"What pleasure have I therein, seeing my dear comrade is dead, even Patroclus, whom I honoured above all my comrades, even as mine ownself? Him I have lost” (Achilles to Thetis)

#give men long hair (sincerely a long-haired men enjoyer)#This is very targeted towards depictions of Patroklos btw #the iliad #greek mythology #shitpost #meme #homeric epics #the odyssey

Achilles: 🥺

Patroklos: I'm not calling you a "good boy" my beloved you committed a war crime!

Patroklos probably forgave but Achilles? Nah he's too stubborn.

#Achilles probably would still hold a grudge after 100 years #hector #the iliad #achilles and patroclus #achilles x patroclus #patrochilles

Odysseus, Phoenix, Ajax (the greater): Please as your friend, teacher and cousin rejoin the war efforts, we need your Myrmidons, we're literally dying 🥺🙏

Achilles: No 😡🖕

Patroklos: Beloved, you are cruel, our friends are dying, please at least let me rejoin the war efforts and lead our men into battle 🥺🙏

Achilles: Of course, my beloved, my loved and most honoured companion and friend, heart of my heart, soul of my soul, do what you want, here have my god-gifted armour and come straight back to me safe and unharmed or else I'll go insane 🥰❤️

#Patroklos is the only person Achilles listens to and would do everything for #achilles and patroclus #patrochilles #achilles x patroclus #the iliad #incorrect quotes #greek mythology #meme #shitpost #ajax the greater #odyssey #phoenix

Achilles: "Can I seduce you?"

Patroklos: "Sure."

Achilles: "Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please lay with me for without your beloved touch I shall surely wither up and die!"

Patroklos: "By the Theos..."

#accurate Achilles behavior #he's REALLY needy #achilles and patroclus #patrochilles #achilles x patroclus #incorrect quotes #shitpost #the iliad #meme #greek mythology

Achilles: *Sobbing* I'm a horrible person! My beloved Patroklos tell me I'm not a horrible person! :(

Patroklos: Well... my father said that lying is bad so...

Achilles: :(

#Patroklos can't lie #Achilles is genuinely a bad person #patrochilles #achilles and patroclus #achilles x patroclus #the iliad #incorrect quotes

In solution to the ancient arguement over the Erastes/Eromenos dynamic between Achilles/Patroklos I present the last option.
