The Iliad is a wonderful epic filled with super cool fight scenes, stealth missions, and gut wrenching sadness, but there’s this one moment that lives in my head rent free for absolutely no reason aside from slight amusement.
Not sure which book(chapter) it is, but there is a scene in which Achilles has completed his mourning over Patroclus, and if I’m not mistaken, Achilles was there for twelve days and did not eat or drink anything. Trust me this is important.
Achilles goes and he tells his mates (Ody, Menelaus, etc) that he’s gonna go out and absolutely rip Hector a new one.
Before he goes out though, Odysseus stops him and I kid you not, for at minimum half a page, our boy Odysseus goes on a whole MONOLOGUE about how important breakfast is, and how Achilles needs to at least have some meat and wine before he tears through the Trojan army and turns Hector into his personal ragdoll.
And if I’m not mistaken, Odysseus actually gets Achilles to eat before he leaves. What a guy, getting Achilles to listen to him.
Now go eat breakfast like Homer intended, dear readers. If the great, swift footed Achilles needs to eat breakfast, so do you.

Rereading Euripides’ Helen (once again) and some of my favorite bits

Menelaus’ “YOU LOOK LIKE MY WIFE!! :0” and Helen’s “YOU LOOK LIKE MY HUSBAND!! :0” clown on clown interaction (affectionate)

“I’ve come here with grief enough for cargo” :(

Not them fighting over who protects the other more 😭

Is it really romance if you don’t swear to end your life if your spouse dies

I fucking love Odysseus and Menelaus as a character dynamic so much. They are so so different in personality but in their goals they are so similar.
Both loving husbands and fathers. Willing to do anything and practically anything for the ones they cared for. Despite their differences in where their morals lie, this is something consistent and I love them for it.

Helen: "Menelaus, can you turn the lights on?" Menelaus: "I don't have to, you're the only light I need in my life" Helen: *blushing* Clytemnestra: "FUCKING TURN IT ON. WE CAN'T SEE SHIT!"

updated version


Half-done map of New Rome, for my fanfic. (I need the pic online to be able to add it to my fic) Based on a few other maps I found online, but I also tried to add my own spin on some stuff.
Scaling is probably off, but that's not the point. This is only for fun and I actually don't care how book accurate it is in every detail (it's not, and that's okay).

Ares: You’d do that for me? Aphrodite: I’d do a lot of things to you. Ares: ...you mean for me..? Aphrodite: That too.
