Chapter 9 of the Iliad! Thoughts so far...

A very simple chapter, not a lot of things happened, it was still very funny!

Let's begin!

1. Agamenón saying he wants to pack it up and go home just for Diomedes to call him out on his bs. Again, he and Menelaus are the ones who wanted this war more than anyone and now they are giving up?!

Diomedes W

Nestor also advises that Agamenón should try to make peace with Achilles and he tries. Like really tries so hard.

He promises so many things that honestly the only thing he didn't promise him was to suck his dick lol. That's how desperate Agamenón is.

Like yes, eat up your pride!

2. The team that goes to try to convince Achilles is composed of Odysseus, Fenix and Ayante. They really tried but Achilles wouldn't budge. Oh well

3. When they arrived to Achilles tent he was playing the lire for Patroclus. And then the book describes Patrocles as very dear to Achilles heart.

Oh i get it. I get it now lol. I get you Patrochilles shippers

Later in the book he also go to sleep together (along with two woman. Damn.)

4. Fenix really tried to convince Achilles. Apparently he was a mentor/caretaker of Achilles. And he wanted to play with his heart-strings with this very long speech (i'll be honest. It kind of bored me...)

Achilles didn't budge so i wonder if he also found it a bit boring lol

5. I think it's interesting to note that Achilles loves his pride way more than he loves Briseis. Like, waaaay more.

But i think at this point he also sees fighting useless. He seems to be ready for that long, boring life he was promised if he leaves the war.

But we know what happens later on so... 🙂

I'm not a fan of how he is letting his friends suffer because is not just Achilles who's not fighting. But ALL the men he commands are also not fighting. Like, of course the Acheans are in trouble, they lost a good chunk of their troops!

And now, the plot thickens...

That's all for this chapter!

Ares Atonement Book Cover

Info below!

Its Doneeeeeee!!!!

Otrera and her scary dog privilegue jsjsksk. I did this one as an idea of what a Cover for Ares' Atonement would look like if it was a physical book!

Onto the symbolism of the cover, Otrera holds her sword down. When the sword is down, it means a resting potition. She is in no means planning an attack. This reflects her mentality on mercy and her hatred of senseless violance. She still holds the sword, for she is willing to do what needs to be done for the sake of her home.

Ares is holding his sword upright, a ready for combat stance. He is always more than willing to spill blood, after all. Even the blade is permanently splattered with it. Violance and anger are his vices, so he'll always hold the sword up at the minimun provocation.

It's not even an AU... Hermes just had a moment where he wanted to be a sailor (he goes through many phases), and Peitho wanted to be his mermaid during it.

The Kiss

Peace feels Elysian if she is in his arms, and it's been 10 long years of pain for that paradise 🫂💛

"Helen went willingly!" "Helen was kidnapped! "Helen loved Paris" "Helen hated Paris and wanted to go back to Menelaus!"

Why don't we just collectively agree that both of this are just fair interpretations? Both are valid for fucks sake.

Paris apologist, stop acting surprised when people hate him with reason. Specially when the Iliad itself seems to have some kind of hatred towards him, making of him quite the clown of the Troyan side.

Paris haters, let's take a deep breath and accept that versions where Helen loves Paris exists. Sure, at the point of the Iliad she surely doesn't anymore but there is some level of complexity to it and it's valid to ship him with Helen.

Can we be friends now? Great

This is my baby Astyanax design! 😭💞 It’s actually one of the first times I’ve ever drawn a baby, so I really hope I did a decent job. He’s going to have a big role in my future comic, in fact, he’ll often be the main focus.

He has sectoral heterochromia in one eye I hope it looks like that and not just like a random blue smudge 💔 I’d really love to hear your thoughts! Especially if any of you have experience drawing babies, feel free to drop some tips or suggestions if you think something could be improved or adjusted.

Thanks so much for your attention and kind words it truly means a lot! Also, I’m so glad that y’all liked my previous Hector and Achilles design. Your reactions give me motivation, even when I’m unsure about what I’m doing. <3
