The Diomedes musical would be called "Son of Tydeus" because even in his own musical his father overshadows him

[soundbuster]

Damn, yeah.

I may need to look back at the Iliad, but nearly every time Diomedes is shown or talked to, his father is brought up and not just to mention Diomedes' blood line like Achilles being called the Son of Peleus or Odysseus the Son of Laertes.

Tydeus was one of the Seven Against Thebes, seven champions that served to put Oedipus's son Polynices in the Theban Throne as it's mentioned in the play Antigone.

Unlike Achilles and Odysseus who get their own glory and move past their fathers, Dio really couldn't. Heck, in Book 4, Agamemnon riles him up by mentioning that his father would have been a better fighter against the Trojans than him. Daddy issues, much?

Diomedes relationship with Tydeus is really interesting, especially if you consider how your ancestors kleos (glory) also counted towards your own and how important it was for social standing.

Tydeus - as we learn from the fragments of the Theban Cycle as well as other sources recounting the Theban Wars, along with the plays & Statius' Thebaid, the retelling of the Seven Against Thebes - was a great favorite of Athena, a crazy fighter who not only beat everyone in all the games (Iliad Book 5) but also defeated the 50 assassins sent after him. Which did give him a lot of kleos, so much so that Athena wanted to make him immortal.

But then he commited cannibalism as he was dying...leaving Diomedes with quite a complex heritage to deal with.

A father to revenge, a father to live up to and be better than

Its gonna be fun to explore that :)

This is how I imagine the friendship between these two began.

It’s rather ironic that while Odysseus, as a teenager, was being doted on by a loving family, showered with gifts, and enjoying hunting with his grandfather, Diomedes at that same age was already out fighting in a war.

(I am aware that Diomedes' age in the Epigonic War is not confirmed, but it is the age that is speculated to be.)

To me one of the saddest things about Agamemnon's death is that he fought so hard his whole life to keep Menelaus alive, to make sure his brother had a future, that at least one of them had a happy and fulfilling life. But then Menelaus gets stranded from home for another 7 years and Agamemnon dies without knowing that his brother is alive, without knowing that he is safe and sound, that his wife is next him and that he eventually gets to reunite with his daughter. The one person that he sacrificed so much to protect and then he dies without knowing what truly happened.
