is there any lore behind you username??

It's just lesbian + odysseus it was my dn in the epic discord server but I got banned from there and I thought I peaked with that so I made it my Tumblr user to compensate

[lesbodysseus]

Andromache imploring Ulysses to spare the life of her son (1810) George Dawe (English, 1781 - 1829)

THIS PAINTING KILLS ME EVERY TIME I SEE IT my goat washed brahhhh what is he doingggg Andromache you should actually kill him girl

[lesbodysseus]

How awkward would it have been if another woman showed interest on the weapons meant to bring out Achilles, and Odysseus falsely accused her of being a man

OH PLEASE I REMEMBER TALKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC WITH OOMF BEFORE it would've probably been VERY awkward honestly I think Odysseus' plot armour is the only reason that plan worked because it's so nonsensical

[lesbodysseus]

How often do Odysseus' thighs hold consequences

I've thought long and hard about this and spent hours analyzing this subject and consulted the spirits of my ancestors and the answer is yes

[lesbodysseus]

what is the longest thing you have memorized?

Briseis' speech for Patroclus Iliad book 19 Robert Fagles' translation

Here is my recitation THOUGH KEEP IN MIND IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I READ IT SO I MAY BE A LITTLE RUSTY AND MAKE MISTAKES

Patroclus dearest joy of my heart my harrowed broken heart I left you alive the day that I left these shelters now I come back to find you fallen captain of armies so grief gives way to grief my life one endless sorrow the husband to whom my noble mother and father gave me I saw him cut down by the bronze before our city and my three brothers one mother bore us my brothers how I loved you you all went down to death on the same day but you patroclus you would not let me weep not even weep you vowed you would make me Achilles' lawful wedded wife you would sail me in your warships west to phthia and with the myrmidons hold my wedding feast so now I mourn your death and I will never stop you were always kind

Rate how well I did 🥹🥹

"Odysseus is Athena's son" this, "No, it's actually Diomedes" that.

Ericthonius exist guys, please, remember Athena's first and ONLY son, tho she kinda does act patently with Odysseus and Diomedes, but still, they're more of a mentor-mentee

YUPPPP 🙂‍↕️ I do like the Athena and Odysseus mother-son dynamic hc personally but I shall NEVER erase Erichthonius he is the one and only child of Athena that's her babyyyyy

[lesbodysseus]

who do you think has the biggest ass among the Greeks?

(Ps: my predictive texts almost made me type “biggest mistake among the Greeks” which also a good question

Well for the first question the average person may think Achilles because he's like the best at everything but you would be WRONG it's Odysseus I have seen it and his ass is LARGE and BEAUTIFUL and I NEED that okay

Biggest mistake is Achilles being born though
