Pretty much every figure in Greek myth has done something making them a terrible person or boarder line questionable at best.

Patroculus this, Achilles that, what about Hector? What about the plight of being a hero and the sacrificial lamb of your people? what about having your corpse desecrated after your death, your homeland destroyed, your infant son killed and your wife enslaved? All because you couldn’t defeat a demigod in a war that you didn’t want? What about making all the right choices and still losing? What then??

Homer Describing Odysseus: A head shorter than Agamemnon but wider in shoulders and in chest, strong legs and arms

Modern fanart: OK I shall make Odysseus shorter than literally ANY other character!

Like...come on guys! 😆 Agamemnon was also described to be taller than many men around the Greeks hahahaha and okay even if Odysseus could potentially be shorter than many other heroes in the war why the heck is literally EVERY character taller?! Including females?! Hahaha 😆 I mean I get it for goddesses that by n large they are pictured as tall etc but people like Penelope? Hahaha like even nowadays average height for women in Greece is like roughly 165-170 m tall yet alone back then! Hahaha she could potentially be at least at the same height as Odysseus if not shorter like come on!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Like allow some girls be shorter than average or average hahahaha 😆 😂 😆

Bashing my head in the ground and sobbing at how Briseis and Patroclus mirror the kind relationship (both platonic and somewhat familiar) with Helen and Hector. How they both treated the women with kindness and respect, how both women mourn their deaths and are given their dialogue to do so. How both women were trophies of war to a man that took them away from their first husband, but Patroclus swore to Briseis how she will be revered as the legitimate wife of the hero Achilles, and Hector stood up for Helen all time, both as friends. How they both wailed out to the deaths of the beloved heroes, merciless in battle and kind to their people, faithful to their loves all the same.

No one stop me I'm moving to the sea to drown my sorrows.

Bust of Iphigenia by Claude Michel called Clodion (1738-1814)

There are some beautiful Greek/ greek inspired busts out there but this one has to be my favorite. (It’s probably also a benefit that I love Iphigenia too)
