Diomedes & Aeneas making up and out Italy

#dioneas #tagammenon #diomedes #aeneas #the iliad #post canon #the aeneid

So an angry man (Achilles), a pious man (Aeneas), and a liar (Odysseus) walk into a bar.

The angry man kills someone over hitting on the girl that's with him, one he himself forced to go out with him.

The liar convinces everyone he blinded the bartender in self-defense, even though he was caught stealing some drinks.

And as the bar burns, the pious man carries his dad on his shoulders because destiny says they need to be in Italy by dawn.

The odyssey (2026 AD) was an innovative and oddly brilliant take on the odyssey (~800 BC) that blends a lot of disparate ideas to recontextualise the story and make it something genuinely clever and fascinating but I still think it's a tad bit dogshit

Helen of Sparta Troy

Idk if it really came across but I tried to make her eyes sad but her smile almost genuine. This is supposed to be in the middle of the Trojan war, maybe 5 years in or so. She's found friends in the Trojans and has learned how to love Paris and Aphrodite, but she misses her homeland and children. She feels immense guilt for the Trojan War and it weighs heavily on her; she's constantly stressed. As she ages, she becomes more preoccupied with appearing perfect. You can almost see wrinkles and eyebags weighing her features even when she spends hours in front of her mirror trying to keep up the only part of her she thinks is worthwhile. All she knows how to do is obsess over her looks-- she feels powerless in all other aspects of her life. She has found how to be content in Troy, not happy, but content

+Different version

#me personally i headcanon she doesnt like menelaus nor paris #and she finds catharsis in making love to aphrodite #like she is desperate to be with her and aphrodite just likes the devotion #i feel like she knows she deeply cares for andromache but doesnt understand why #(they r in lesbians with each other)#ofc there is also her finding comfort in cassandra and how neither are listened to #i love both ships i rlly just hate when shes with a man rlly #she feels very comphet TO ME #helen of troy #helen of sparta #helen the beautiful #iliad #tagammenon #diarunas art #this took like 18 hours what

Roman Ides of March gold aureus:

Reverse: two Roman daggers bracket a pileus (liberty cap), a felt hat placed on a slave's head when freed. Signifies Rome's deliverance.

EID[IBUS] MAR[TIS] : on the Ides of March

Obverse: Portrait of Brutus. Ironic because part of the rap against Caesar was putting his own portrait on coins which until then had been reserved for gods. Et tu, Brutē?

BRUT[US] IMP[ERATOR]*

L. PLAET. CEST. (Lucius Plaetius Cestius, the coiner)

Roman generals often minted their own coins to pay troops, using images as propaganda. This is one of three surviving Ides of March coins stamped in gold. About a hundred silver denarii of the same design exist.

*Imperator was originally a high honor bestowed on generals by their troops, who might hail them as imperator after a great victory. It derives from the verb imperāre, to command. Later, of course, Augustus coopted the title, to maintain the pretext he was working within the system. But as we all know, an emperor came to mean someone even more powerful than what Brutus & co had feared when they went all stabby stabby.

#tagammenon #ides of march

It had every right and reason to go as hard as it did and I'm still shocked.
