Oracle twins of Troy!

In general, I have a lot of golden thoughts so it's nice if you read them! As I love Cassandra, I am also fascinated by her brother Helenus.

In my Au Priam and Hecuba sent Helenus (then called Scamanderus) to Phrygia. This is a special place for two reasons, because one of the suitors of Cassandra, Coroebus (who gave his life in the Trojan war when he tried to protect her!) came from there! What is even more interesting? His father, King Mygdon of Phrygia … fought in his young adulthood on the same side as Priam of Troy in war! Wow, they like friends, this is a very cool information right??? I think Troy would like to keep relationships with city of Phygia by sending their sons to school would be very interesting.

And again, for two reasons. First of all, Coroebus would fall in love with kind & intelligent Cassandra from the stories which her brother told and not only in her appearance as other suitcases did. And besides, I want relationship of ths poor twins to be very complicated. Like, they love each other but Helenus suddenly returns, his beloved sister behaves as if she lost her mind and there is a war in front of their house because a stranger who turned out to be their lost brother (Paris) kidnapped someone's wife (Helen).

Additionally, I have an idea that Apollo has cursed Cassandra with "no one who NOW is behind the walls of city will believe you in terrible visions that I will send." What does it mean? This means that the curse that was imposed on her is still here … but Helenus (and even Coroebus) are not under its effect, because they were no longer in Troy at a time when Cassandra refused love to God. This means that Helenus may not believe his twin of his own will :)

At my arts - twins with colors (ugh, why is he so like my Odysseus? I need to do something with old king tho), a scene from the Iliad in which after the death of Paris, Helen is forced to marry his brother … and Helenus for some reason also fought for her hand? Boy, you were supposed to be the intelligent one. And next is the scene in which Cass is after vision, all scratched and in her own blood/ Helenus wants to disintegrate the wounds so he pours some vinegar onto a cloth. He has no idea what happened to his sister, he has no idea what to believe but he really wants to help her. And the last art, i.e. young twins who interested wrong God. BTW … I used yellow and blue for them because they are complementary colors. Cass has yellow, which unfortunately shows her attracting to Apollo but she wears some blue. Helenus has blue besides because it is a color that will show coldness and distance. He publicly does not take Cassandra seriously but privately apologizes for it and says that he is too weak for standing on her side. He doesn't lie, she believes him and understands it too, but this hurts a lot. In general, it is difficult to love someone when divine forces on the road and Helenus did not pass the test. Coroebus do! But we'll talk about him later. For now I will say that he and Hel do not have a good relationship.

Apollo, Poseidon and Dionysus

That's only the second book where the woman in the story actually got involved with Apollo

It's sad to point that out

He's not the sun god, and stop using the word "alpha" in greek myth retellings

"Can he repress the forbidden passion that is eating away at Canace?"

Considering that Canace had 5 kids with Poseidon, I would say the answer is no

Well would you look at that! A retelling about Dionysus that doesn't make me scream in frustration

Cassandra: If I had a coin for every man who joined the war because they fell madly in love and wanted to win my hand in marriage, I would have two coins.

Cassandra: Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

COROEBUS

In Greek mythology, Coroebus was the son of King Mygdon of Phrygia. He came to the aid of Troy during the Trojan War. During the Sack of Troy, Coroebus convinced some of his fellow soldiers, including Aeneas, to dress in enemy armor to disguise themselves. He was killed trying to defend Cassandra from Ajax.
