#damocrateia

[spineless-lobster]

Trying to look up pat’s mom and finding out that he actually has five moms one of which is achilles’ older half-sister which is devastating to me not just because they’re cousins but because that means whatever twisted alternate universe troy (2004) takes place in is right

Mothers of Patroclus

+ How I personally see them, since theres barely any info abt them, imma take some creative liberties :p and yes, all of them are the wives of Menoetius. Idk why there’s so many different versions of Patroclus mother but..whatever

Philomela (probably the most popular woman to be seen as Patroclus’ mother). I imagine her to be a strict, disciplined and sensible woman.

Polymele, Daughter of peleus & half sister of Achilles. I imagine her to be very bubbly, generous and gentle (and mostly taking her appearance after her father ofc, also I can imagine her being VERY pissed at Achilles if she finds out that her son died bc of him)

Periopis, princess of Pherae & daughter of King Pheres. I imagine her to be compassionate & very kind

Sthenele, princess of Iolcus. I imagine her to be a bit dull, worn out and isolated.

Damocrateia, princess of Aegina, and a half-demigoddess half-Naiad daughter of Zeus & Aegina. I imagine her being charismatic, creative & expressive.
