You know what would be a great end to 20gayteen??? If they announced a modern comedic take on the Iliad. Agamenmon as the guy everybody hates but somehow he's part of the group. Achilles and Patroclus as the lovey-dovey couple who can't keep their hands off of eachother and have been together forever. Odysseus as the guy who shows everyone a million pictures of his wife. Brises as a happy, independant woman who doesn't need no man. Pyrrhus as the annoyning cat that claws at everyone and hisses. Please. I just want to see them happy and in love. Except Agamenmon and Pyrrhus. They're the worst.

I am on the verge of going on an iliad and odyssey craze so I apologize to anyone who has to see it.

Agamemmnon is a fool really he is greedy and selfish but is also caring for family likel his brother the whole reason he is leading and fighting this war is for his brother to win back Helen.

And yet Agamemmnons selfishness dooms him and his army he insults Achilles for what? Pride? Greed? His want for glory like all Greeks got the best of him and made him forget who was truly the strongest and best of the Greeks at rhe time. He forget that Achilles destroyed whole towns with lone effort and still allowed Agamenmon to take most of the spoils. Achilles was wanting glory while possibly Agamenmon wanted possession and glory which was to much which bit him in the ass.

The Soldiers (Diomedes; Agamenmon; Menalaus; Teucer; Ajax the Lesser; Nestor; Neoptolemus) - summons

These characters stack off-field. When active, they do not have any independent effects, but can trigger some of the skills of on-field characters. there can be up to 4 active soldiers and count as 1 summon.

tl:dr if you have 3 soldiers active, they stack as 1 summon. They do nothing on their own but can increase the damage of some character (Eurylochus for example)

Troy Story: What were they going for?

I was thinking about the godawful Troy movie starring Bradd Pitt today. Thankfully, that in turn, made me think of the Iliad (and Odyssey)

And I had a question. Were they trying to add dislikable protagonists?

Why did that first battle happen, where the Greeks accidentally attacked Mysia instead of Troy?

I read this version where Thetis warns Achilles about killing demigods, and gives him a servant who can see demigods for what they are. Achilles kills one when the servant isn't around, then blames (and executes) the servant for failing his duty. Wtf, hero!?

The whole situation with Iphegenia is bad all around.

Odysseus is the one to propose the suitors' oath, but feigns madness when (shocker) it's time to honor it.

When he finally returns to Ithaca, he hangs all the servant girls who served the suitors.

Agamemnon is a dick, through and through... though I suppose most tyrants are... (in Age of Mythology we have a humorous detail where Agamemnon has no weapon "because he lost his spear somewhere along the way, so he pummels things with his fists". This never fails to make me laugh)

I'm not able to think up more right now, but I remember so much stuff like this. Many of the heroes do a lot more bad than good.

What were they going for? Realism? Was it a warped, myth-laden version of what happened?

Of these things tell That which you can, that which you may, Be healer of this our trouble Which at times torments with evil, Though at times by propitiations A shining hope repels the insatiable thought upon grief Which is eating away our hearts.
