Sooooo I read Song of Achilles
i hated Phyrrus the moment he said 'erm, no,' and just hated on patroclus for no dam reason and just did not listen to anyone about him
I smiled when he died.
Millers depiction of neoptolemus will always get my blood simmering.
And oh,
Deidamias character.
Madeline what have you done to them.
omg love the new blog theme
Screaming

A little thing I made at one in the morning
Achilles' horses to him after Patroclus died π₯π₯:
how would my mooties feel if I start unapologetically oc-posting more frequently
EVERYTHING ABOUT ACHILLES THAT I LEARNED AGAINST MY WILL (THE DEEP LORE EDITION)
look, we all know the standard-issue achilles facts. he was dipped in a magical river, he had a gorgeous boyfriend, he spent three months pouting in a tent like a dramatic teenager, and then he died because his mum forgot how ankles work. its classic. its iconic. and its on every middle school syllabus.
but if you actually dig into the absolute fever dream archives of ancient greek deep lore, you quickly realize that the real achilles wasn't just a regular warrior. he was actually a chaotic (with a big K), draft-dodging, apex-predator-eating menace who actively broke the laws of physics and common sense before being banished to a ghost island with the most awkward dating pool in history. anywhoos, here goes nothing....
THE 15-YEAR-OLD DRAFT DODGER'S ULTIMATE DRAG DEBUT
everyone knows achilles died at troy, but few know how hard his mum tried to keep him from going in the first place. when the draft started, his mother, thetis, panicked and hid him on the island of skyros. her master plan? she disguised 15-year-old achilles as a girl named "pyrrha" and hid him among the king's daughters.
he lived as a princess for months. the greeks eventually figured out he was there, but they couldn't tell which girl was actually a six-foot-tall, hyper-muscular warrior. odysseus finally exposed him by laying out a bunch of jewellery, dresses and a single shield and spear. while the princesses cooed over the necklaces, achilles immediately grabbed the spear and accidentally started his war cry because the draft-dodging theatre kid could not resist a weapon.
HIS CHILDHOOD DIET READS LIKE A CURSED 1-STAR PALEO BLOG
you don't get to be the apex predator of the bronze age by eating your vegetables. according to ancient writer apollodorus, achilles' tutor was chiron- the wise centaur who was basically the ancient world's ultimate survival coach. chiron didn't feed young achilles standard toddler food.
achilles was raised on a strict diet (involving (blegh!!) lion livers, wild boar marrow, bear brains) to give him courage and strength. he was also fed honey and milk to keep him fast. he was essentially a weaponised toddler fuelled entirely by raw predators and sugar crashes.
HIS AFTERLIFE IS A TOXIC REALITY TV NIGHTMARE
standard mythology says achilles died and went to the gloomy underworld of hades. but the deep-lore, alternative cult versions reveal his mum used her goddess powers to upgrade his afterlife package. he was transported to leuke (the white island) in the black sea to live as an immortal ghost-king.
the absolute kicker? depending on which ancient poet you ask, he spent eternity married to medea (the famous witch who poisoned her own kids to curry for her husband's favour) or helen of troy ( the woman whose face launched the ships that directly caused his death). the sheer amount of passive-aggressive, agonizing silence at that eternal dinner table is completely unmeasurable.
HE HAD A TERRIBLE, UNRECIPROCATED RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS ULTIMATE PARASOCIAL FANBOY
alexander the great was the ultimate achilles stan. he slept with a copy of the illiad under his pillow, openly emulated achilles' "friendship" with patroclus and even visited achilles' supposed tomb in troy just to, allegedly, run around it entirely naked while crowning it with flowers. the hilarious part is if achilles had been alive, he would have despised alexander. achilles' entire brand was being an angsty rebel who hated kings, defied authority (agamemnon) and fought strictly for his own personal glory.
alexander was a literal king of a massive empire. alexander was out here living the ultimate corporate agamemnon lifestyle while genuinely convinced he was a punk-rock achilles
honestly, you just have to love him. the next time someone mentions the tragic, serious warrior from the history books, remember the absolute goldmine of deep lore they are leaving out.

goodbye my friends.
Ive been fed
Ill go sleep now
I just finished watching Castlevania and CastlevaniaΒ² (nocturne).
Going to go rip my hair out.
having a best friend who meets your level of freak is unmatched. you present them with the most unhinged, deeply buried thought from the depths of your psyche and instead of blinking blankly they just go "oh absolutely"βand I think that mutual brain rot like that is the highest form of intimacy actually.

Hi guys, does anybody know more about that Antiloque guy who apparently shared the urn with Patroclus and Achilles ?
I didnβt read the Iliad (yet) or any others ancient sources but I feel like we barely talk about him.
Antiloque, necked amphora by the Painter of Tithon, c. 470 B.C.
I come bringing information.
Antioque, translated to antilochus now, had is own bond between achilled and Patroclus. He was barried w/ the two after a fight (clearly not ended well) against Memnon. Along with patroclus, achilled avenged him as well.
Antiloque, prince of pylos, son of Nestor.
Hello. Who are you?
oh, just splendid. And you?
I'm doing very well myself
WAIT OH MY GOD I THOUGHT YOU SAID HOW ARE YOU IM SO SORRY //
Giggles. Its okay, I just went with it!
oh, I'm so glad you at least found it humorous. (Ty it makes me feel better !) And, for that, I will correctly answer your question. I am widely known as alexander the great.
You know what?
Im bored.
Lets run to ancient Greece together and leave our mark on history.
HIIIII HII HI EVERYBODYYβ‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈ i hope everyone is happy and well and ready to rejoice as it is one of the most special days in our calendar!!!! 2349 years ago if my numbers are correct alexander passed in mysterious circumstances in babylonia after two weeks of suffering that pain me to think about! all this time i've wholeheartedly believed the poisoning theory but i've actually been reading some stuff (incredible) and all i can say is that the diadochi were all bitches but i love them anyway. yes i've spent these past two weeks going to the beach to read pseudo-callisthenes' 5th century ad novel-biography and it's been tons of fun <33
real hfuers will know my thing is trying to humanize him as much as possible and steer far away from those GLORIOUS UNDEFEATED SON OF THE GODS myths (i spoke about this last year too) so reading a book mostly made up of fake facts was ππππ hilarious actually πππ but also quite tragic. it's hard to find real statements esp in ancient sources since everyone was just writing whatever benefitted them the most and it's a real shame the most notable alexander anecdotes that reached the public were shit like him going to the bottom of the ocean in a crystal cage or that bucephalus ate human flesh and not his bravery and determination to push forward and always believe in himself but WHATEVER he did not have heterochromia besties get over it he was just some guy
BUT THE DRAWING!!!! this year we have a little tomb theme going on and it was about time i drew that time he and hephaestion went to patrochilles' tombs because that's CRAZYYYYYYYYY ππππππππ the design is completely made up obviously and i mixed items from different eras to show it's been cared for for centuries: bronze age architecture and armor (should've looked for an actual description of his armor in the iliad but i remembered doing that YESTERDAY as i went to sleep and now's not the time to be correcting drawingsππ), an archaic statue, painted friezes as a 5th century representative and paintings with floral motives and scenes (sacrifices at the pyre, fight with the river and hector), mostly inspired by the "patroclus vase" and mosaics from pella (all from the 4th century) ππππππ this was a lot of fun to do!!!!
also i made them in tomodachi. they're the only people on my island that are not my ocs or pikmin 4 characters. they've been together for 41 days and struggling to get married #real β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ they live together in a beautiful blue temple ππ (and made the lighthouse of alexandria as a little custom item. it glows at night and i LOVEEE it)
ALSO ALSO my friend is in athens rn (without me naturally βοΈ) AND SHE'S BRINGING MERCH. THERE'S A PRINT WITH ALEXANDER'S PORTRAIT FROM THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM AND SHE GOT IT FOR ME YEEAAAAAHHHHHHH
it's a special day! don't mourn and party all night it's what he would've wanted πβ‘οΈ <3
is there a way for me to marry this post
rb if you hate ai
