Hera and Iris

faer1etale

Is there an actual source for the myth of Apollo being unable to choose between the muses so he unofficially married them all? I do really like the myth I just, can't seem to find an actual source for it. If it turns out to be an invention by some randomass scholar I'm gonna cry

brimo5

I'm adding this to my "where's the original source??!!" list, right after "Macaria married Thanatos", "Medusa was a priestess" and "Dionysus rescued Ariadne from the underworld."😵

The "Zeus married Aphrodite to Hephaestus to prevent the gods to cause a war over her hand" in particular really bothers me because I have no idea who even came up with that

ninoofficial123

Or the "Hestia gave Dionysus her throne" thing.

Tbf I've only ever heard that last one in pjo

soundbuster

Do you think during those seven years in sea and then the war, whenever things went bad, Aeneas would think to himself, "Hector would have done it better"?

Like in Book 2 of The Aeneid, Aeneas calls Hector the "last, best hope of Troy."

For ten years, Troy didn't fall because of its best warrior. He had the fate of their city, and when he died, that burden rested on Aeneas.

Aeneas can't blame him. Can't get mad at him for dying. Just that he's not here to make things better.

And a sad thought of him thinking:

Hector wouldn't have let Pallas died.

And how much strong were those thoughts for Aeneas in Book 1 to wish he died in Troy?

sksjjsjwjejsjwos

And regarding the last part, when you think about it Pallas was almost like Pallantium’s Hector— another prince forced to fight in a war he never started on behalf of his aged father and another soldier who willingly threw himself into a line of fire to fight in a duel in hopes of keeping the hopes of his countrymen up, for which he met an early death. And neither was he carried away from his duty by personal love even once like Aeneas, making Pallas the embodiment of Aeneas’ ideal self. Pallas even lived Aeneas’ ideal life, with his personal love acting as a collateral to his duty rather than an opposing force and his early death under the walls of a second Troy. Pallas was a second Hector to Aeneas— the embodiment of everything he should’ve been. And to see this second Hector die again? Aeneas couldn’t save Hector the first time, and neither could he the second.

homunculus-argument

The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

thekijs

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

while obv people getting the iliad's time focus wrong and saying that it ended with achilles' death is a very annoyingly common mistake i also think it's kind of fitting in relation to the ways achilles DOES die in the iliad. he ends the poem having basically killed himself in more ways than one after killing hector and he knows it. the last time we see him we know as well as he does that he's got an expiration date and it's very soon. he's alreasy chased around and killed a man in his own armour. not to mention all the ways in which he rejects life after patroclus' death. from his lying resembling that of patroclus' corpse (κειται Πάτροκλος/κειτο), to being sustained by ambrosia instead of human food just like patroclus is by thetis. like the entire murder/suicide thing going on between achilles and hector PLUS the idea that patroclus' death is modeled after and made to represent achilles' own from a narrative standpoit makes everything much more i tresting. i know it's definetly been said before but achilles' relationshio with death and his suicidality even should be taken into much more consideratkon in conversation about him.

poetryofapollo

I love how during the entirety of the Ithaca books, the suitors are presented as this great threat (which of course, they are I'm not at all denying that), but then in comparing them to Odysseus, Menelaus reduces them to mere fawns in a lion's lair. Like pop off King, we all know your missing bsf will not stand for these fawns circling his dearest doe 🫶
