Currently reading book 11

The one who successfully injured Agamemnon and changed the tie of the battle is Antenor’s eldest son Coön, who went ballistic because his younger brother’s death. *Side eyes*

Interestingly Coön died while trying to retrieve his lil brother’s corpse, with Agamemnon cutting his head right over his lil bro’s body.

Older brothers are paralleling (again).

Ironically Antenor was the one suggested returning Helen, his sons now die under the hands of Helen’s brother in law.

"Zeus and the other gods willed it. Diomedes elegantly passes over his father’s exile. For after Tydeus killed his own sons, Lycopeus and Alcathoos, he went into exile."-D Scholia to the Iliad with his can we say he's a bad father? tbf it seems a lot of the heroes do a little murdering of their own children

It’s a bit complicated.

For me a bad father is someone who does a terrible job of being a father. This more often than not overlaps with someone “being a bad person”, but we also have the case of a good person being an absolute shit show of a parent.

If he did it due to the god’s will or some similar shenanigans, I would not call him a bad father that since it’s not something of his control, but he (and maybe some others) might just call himself that.

If he did it out of a heat of rage, I’d call him a bad person first for not being able to control his anger, and being a bad father is the following consequence.

YESSSSS

Do you consider Diomedes to be less or more interesting post-exile from Argos?

you specifically

Hmm character development wise Diomedes post exile definitely has a lot of sauce with him finding new purposes and healing

But id prefer his war time since I love war and drama

Achilles quick doodle

[smokey07]

These father and son poses for any father-son duo in the Trojan War

I specifically mean Nestor and Antilochus

[smokey07]

Soccer mom Achilles is the way

Every time I see people say that Achilles doesn't care about Neoptolemus, I want to take The Iliad and The Odyssey, and beat them to death with them

Do you think there's any symbolism in ajax the greater killing himself with Hector's sword?

I think that rarely ever is there something on chance in these ancient tales much less to amazing writers such as Sophocles who seems to show deep sensitivity in certain matters.

I definitely see that it has a symbolism. Ajax feels dishonored before his own people, at a war against the Trojans. It is a tragic irony that he shall regain his sense of honor by using a sword belonging to a Trojan and the pride of Trojan army no less. In one way it also seems that he dies by the honorable weapon of an honorable man such as Hector, in a death he chooses, just like Hector chose to die to fight for his own country

I also detect several parallels between Ajax and Hector with the most prominent one that both leave a son behind, an infant they said goodbye to and an infant that seemed initially scared of them; Astyanax of his father's helmet and Eurysaces of his father's dreadful appearance as he was drenched in blood. Both figures say goodbye to their son by playing with them or holding them. Both seemed to have terrified their child, child born in the middle of a bloody war, because they have an appearance that links them to war and violence (armor, blood) The parallels between these tragic characters are not random there and I believe it is this the reason why it is only by the sword of an honorable man like Hector that Ajax can make peace with himself and die

Also on a symbolic level it seems that Ajax WANTS to die by a sword belonging to an enemy or a rival (illusion of honor dying in battle that will overshadow the shame of his suicide and sin) and at the same time a friend (emotional support and courage at the time he might hesitate)

I hope this helps! ^_^

Basically this is Dio after the event of the Thebian war, i just want an excuse to draw him in ponytail.

The helmet is his, but I want him to hold it as someone’s severed head, in a way as a metaphor for idk, something?
