One day, I'm going to a write the illiad as a high school dodgeball competitions.
Here the first half of my cast
Achilles – MVP dodgeball champ, most popular kid there, rich, everyone wants to be him. However he takes the game. way too seriously and could wipe everyone out in seconds but refuses to because he too busy fighting with Agamemnon and deliberately benches himself while calling his mom (who is on the school council) to pout and complain. His team keeps begging for him to come back or they will lose, but he is not budging and they will have to find out how to win without him
Patroclus – Achilles’s best friend/boyfriend, everyone loves him because he's very kind and is a great player, but is mostly there to try and keep Achilles in a good mood. But secretly he is very competitive as well and puts up a good fight in Achilles place before he is taken out by Hector. Achilles does not take this well and wipes out half of the team, breaks a water fountain, chases Hector around while throwing balls at him and drags him around by his legs until he's forced to stop by Mr Priam. Patroclus is fine, just a broken nose and they cuddle in Chiron's class after
Agamemnon - Head Coach and leader of the Archeans clique. He is kinda good leader and Menelaus older brother who keeps saying that Helen will be impressed by him if they win this but is doing this to take down the Trojan because he hates their style. He can be a lil bitch who constantly starts petty fights with Achilles and pisses him off when he deliberately benches Briseis, Achilles friend, causing Achilles to bench himself which puts their team at a risk and they almost lose. However they win and Agammenon appluads himself on victory which even the trojan know is bull
Menelaus – Agamemnon’s brother, decent player, just wants Helen back (his ex and former cheer captain). Everyone makes fun of him for Helen running off with Paris. He's very good dodgeball player and almost wins the game at some point when he takes out Paris, but coach Ares is convinced by Aprodiote to keep Paris on and yellow card Menaleus instead. After they win, he and Helen reconcile and everything's good for him
Odysseus – Clever team strategist; not the fastest, but always has a plan. He is a favourite student of guidance councilor Athena who often has to help him. He organises stealth missions with Diomedes to sabotage the Trojan dodgeball plans in their locker room and steals their best gear. Will probably have a long detention and will be given many tasks and assignments after the game for breaking in and vandiliasing their stuff. He will have to hurry if he wants to get on his usual weekly date with his badass, but beautiful girlfriend Penelope
Diomedes – This man is a wildcard. Always a badass not matter what he does. He is also Athena's favourite student who she always helps out by telling him which students to look out for and which to go for. He and Odysseus are a single hell lit candle that will burn the school down one day
Will do the rest of the archeans next, including the trojans and the gods as teachers.
