maybe orpheus always looks back because his very effort to reverse death means that he can't look forward. if he could look forward, he could accept eurydice's death, grieve, and keep moving in life. his refusal to accept her death is looking back. his going down to the underworld, asking hades and persephone for her life, trying to lead her out... it's all 'looking back'. he does nothing for the entire story except look back. orpheus! looks! back! it's his entire thing! the story ends the same way it begins: orpheus looked back.

getting past the sirens be like:

the odyssey: filling the crew’s ears with beeswax so they can’t hear the song, then strapping odysseus to the ship so that he can tell when the sirens stop singing without being able to go to them

the voyage of argo: orpheus just playing his lyre louder than the sirens

Richard Papen is truly god's strongest soldier because imagine being in love with every single member of your friend group and then learning said friends regularly host hedonistic rituals in which they all sleep together and to which you alone are not invited

TIL that plato famously argued that achilles was a bottom

[qxphi]

people don't talk about nisus x euryalus enough, like nisus literally watched euryalus die and got himself killed attacking the person who killed euryalus, then proceeding to fall on top of euryalus to stay with him for eternity

[poetreeanon]

Nisus and Euryalus are everything Patrochilles shippers wish Patrochilles was

[qxphi]

LMAO THIS IS SO REAL

[inked-ir1s]
