Since today is April Fools, I decided to draw another genderbend of Paris and Helen but this time also featuring a genderbend of Menelaus and Oenone! What is the joke? ...

I have only three hopes for Ilium

1 Menelaus is a pivotal character in the story. So so so many retellings of the Iliad put more focus on Achilles. and I get it he’s great and gay and the internet loves to see it but I would love to more focus on the guy who started an entire 10 year war to get his wife back

2 Helen of SPARTA is a badass. She’s incredibly smart and resourceful to the point she’s able to be one of, like, two people to recognize the Trojan Horse is a trap and I would love to see her as such instead of the more typical retelling where she’s boiled down to a pretty face forever tied to the city she was stolen away to

3 Oenone (Paris’s first wife whom he abandoned) gets an entire song where she gets to yell at Paris for his fucking audacity. If I’m not remembering incorrectly Oenone has a monologue in the PostHomerica where she refuses to save Paris from his poison arrow wounds because he left her in arguably one of the most asshole-ish ways possible and if I’m being honest I think it would make an excellent song

#The Menelaus thing might just be my personal bias because he’s my favorite #menelaus #helen of sparta #oenone #paris of troy #Secret 4th hope that people won’t get mad if Ilium doesn’t end with the start of epic and it gets to end in a way that’s best for the story

Hey, feminist retelling writers. I have a wonderful subject for your next book that isn't Persephone. Oenone.

She was the first wife of Paris when he was just Alexandros. Her son was killed by him (who was also his son) when he was with Helen.

After her husband was wounded, he went to her to ask her to heal him (She told him to get lost)

She also killed herself when Paris died/:

I haven't posted any art this week bc I started school and I'm absolutely wrecked, so instead have some "greek mythology as paintings" that I gave up on and never posted🫶

We got: Hecuba and Odysseus as "Mercy: St Bartholomew’s Day" by John Everett Millais Paris and Oenone as "Conversation by the spring" by Henryk Siemiradzki

#you can tell i've been stuck on these for a long time bc the lines are actually clean cuz i've been avoiding dealing with the colors #i don't think i'll ever finish these #my art #hecuba #odysseus #paris of troy #oenone #tagamemnon #greek mythology

merry christmas and happy holidays smokey!! since you asked, i'd love to see your design take on Oenone :>

Contrast to Helen somewhat striking and royal beauty (though not as dramatic as Clytemnestra’s), Oenone’s is a bit more on the softer side. She has that nurturing vibe and unperfected, unfiltered beauty and smile lines. Her jewelry is handmade with woods, and flowers and braided fibre. Some are made by Paris himself.

Her beauty signals the previous more simpler life of Paris as well.

“Each of the details enumerated by Cassandra features in the literary tradition as an essential element in the fall of Troy. Whereas in some texts Helenus is responsible for disclosing their importance, Cassandra ascribes the responsibility of “bring[ing] them to light" to Oenone, Paris' first wife, to whom she thus seems to attribute a prophetic role. Mention of Oenone serves as a hinge for introducing the story of Paris' death: in her anger at Paris' treatment of her and her son, Oenone fails to provide Paris healing drugs when he is shot by Philoctetes. Cassandra's prophecy thus juxtaposes the destruction of Troy with the death of the man who will prove most responsible for it. Philoctetes' arrows are responsible for both events. The death of Paris in turn leads to the story of the suicide of Oenone, who kills herself by leaping to her death from the towers of the city (65 πύργων ἀπ ̓ ἄκρων) out of longing for Paris. That other texts offer different versions of her suicide lends significance to Oenone's auto-precipitation, which parallels the death of Hector's son Astyanax, elsewhere thrown from the walls of the city in the aftermath of the war (cf. Iliou Persis F 3, Arg. 4a West). In 57-68, then, Cassandra has constructed the story of Paris and Oenone so that it encapsulates the destruction of the wider Trojan community.”
