I honestly find it funny and ironic that Odysseus has met two lovers of Heracles (Iphitus & Philoctetes) and has two different relationships with them

He's friends with Iphitus and even gets a cool bow from him n all, while his relationship with Philoctetes is... y'know😅

It's literally just this with him

They genuinely make me so fucking sad, like they probably would’ve gotten closer if Iphitus didn’t get killed..

Ptolemaeus Chennus

Have you already heard about Ptolemaeus Khennos? He’s a Greek writer from 2nd Century CE. Most of his works are lost (even if we have still some analysis) and he deserves all the fandom recognition for having basically invented the slash crack pairing!

Here is a list of some things he shipped wrote about

Apollon/Helenos (Cassandra’s brother, who was a prophet too)

Heracles/Nestor

Heracles/Adonis

Heracles/Jason

Heracles/Iphitos (Iole’s brother)

Zeus/Priam

Chiron/Dionysos

Hermes/Pollux

Zeus/Euphorion (some hypothetical son of Achilles and Helen)

A lot of others with his OC being the eromenos of Heracles, so many actually.

So think about Ptolemaeus Chennus and what he did for fandom! :-)
