I know Warrior!Penelope is a thing but has anyone made an au where Penelope (of Sparta) finds out her beloved cousin Helen was kidnap and went "NOT ON MY WATCH!" and goes to Troy with Odysseus. The plot of Odyssey still happens the same way but atleast the king and queen are together. Horrors persist but so do they

Also Pen gets to be besties with Patroclus for a while

i like the theory that homer is not justone guy but a bunch of people bc that means that theres a chance that one guy was gay for odysseus

People are saying that Miller’s The Song Of Achilles made Patroclus looked weak.

But like, am I the only one who doesn’t think so?

Because like, this book and everything we read from it was from Patroclus’s pov, and maybe, just maybe, the reason why in the book why we only saw how strong and bright and beautiful Achilles was, was because that’s what Patroclus saw? He didn’t see himself as strong, he didn’t see himself as beautiful or anything powerful, that’s why us readers think that he was described as weak in the book, because that’s what Patroclus thinks of himself.

To think that everything in the book was written from Pat’s pov would make a lot of senses, why Achilles was also described as beautiful and there was rarely any description of Patroclus.

That’s why every time I saw posts or comments saying that Patroclus was weakened in words by Miller in the book, I just can’t agree on. It’s not like she skipped the part where he killed when he was a child, where he saved the soldiers that were wounded in the war, or where he killed Troy soldiers by himself and could only be stopped after Apollo himself had to pushed him down the wall for MULTIPLE times. I’ve only ever read tsoa, and I don’t see Patroclus as anything near weak at all, I even think he’s the same level as Achilles.

Books getting more expensive each day is my villan origin story.

Waymond has Polites vibes

I think of him and immediately my mind goes "This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms. Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart. No matter the place, we can light up the world, here's how to start: greet the world with open arms".

Just listen to Open Arms please:
