Sorry not sorry but Lin Manuel Miranda ate being Hermes

I really loved Hephaestus in this episode. Not just because I absolutely love Timothy Omundson as an actor but because he brought such a beautiful sensation of empathy and heartache to the episode. He was initially so resigned to the way of life of the gods, the way they backstab and are cruel to one another and their children. Even thinking Annabeth wouldn’t try to save Percy, he was kind enough to give her a way out so she could continue the quest, whereas any other god, even her mother, would have left her to figure it out on her own. And when she gave her speech and pointed out that caring about people was more important, it genuinely moved him. It speaks to so much of his character as someone who wants unconditional love and was denied it. And that was what, less than 5 minutes onscreen?? The writers and whoever cast him are BRILLIANT and they did so well with this.

I’ve been seeing something going around about how since Hermes is a trickster god, April first should be a new day of celebration for him. Here’s everything I have on it so far.

Seems super interesting and something I could really get behind.

The Homeric Question feat. Prince Zagreus

For further reading, please check out Martin West's "The Homeric Question Today".

Additional caveats and comic text after the cut:

Additional Caveats:

Writing in Greece existed during the Bronze Age in the form of Linear B (and other systems such as Linear A on Minoan Crete), but after the subsequent collapse of Bronze Age civilization, the system disappeared from Greece.

The first mention of Homer as the author of both poems comes from comes from 520 BCE, a century or more after the poems were created. Prior to this, there was much debate even in ancient times as to the poems' origins, some citing different authors, others saying the creators were anonymous.

Comic Text:

Title: Greek History 101 with Prince Zagreus

Subtitle: The Homeric Question

Written and drawn by Argetcross. Colors by Spleen.

[Panel 1]

NARRATION: Although he might not look it, the Prince is quite the avid reader.

NARRATION: Stuck in the Underworld, it's the only way he learns about the heroes of old. He particularly likes the Iliad and the Odyssey.

TEXT AROUND ACHILLES: The mistakes of my youth.... Embarrassing (<- A Hero of Old)

[Panel 2]

ZAGREUS: To create such a work, Homer must be a poet to rival Orpheus!

[Panel 3]

HERMES: Actually did you know Homer might have never existed?

ZAGREUS: Huh?

[Panel 4]

NARRATION (HERMES): Before the Phoenician alphabet came to Greece (~8th century BC), all the tales were sung by oral poets! They were the ones passing the story down.

NARRATION (HERMES): When the Iliad and Odyssey were written down, those writers certainly used the work of the poets before them. Scholars even believe the two epics were written at different times by different people!

HERMES: So you see, it really was the work of generations that made these poems. (Also there is no record of a man named Homer.)

[Panel 5]

ZAGREUS: You're a sly guy, putting your name on so many people's work...

(IN-GAME) NARRATOR: Stop looking at me like that!
