Every 5 minutes of scrolling through Greek Mythology fanarts be like

Come on I can't be the only one

[hades-bat]

just imagine a boy flirting with a girl in ancient greece and he tells her "you're prettier than aphrodite" and instead of blushing and saying "thank you" she goes BRO ARE YOU KIDDING ME ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND WHY THE F*CK DID YOU SAY THAT DO YOU WANT ME F*CKING DEAD OR WHAT

I will never understand how Odysseus has all the braincells while also having none of them at the same exact time. He is an amazing war general and is insanely smart but has the attention span of a rat fuelled by the need to cause chaos simply because he is bored. He can't listen to one thing while getting distracted by the thing he was specifically told not to touch.

Classics tumblr should try starting posts with invocations to the muses.

"To the goddess I call, of memes she sings

Make light of the epics, those ancient things

Give cause to jeer Atreus' son

Within the tags, of his name make a pun"

[h0bg0blin-meat]

Ares: I just stubbed my toe.

Ares: But did I cry like a baby?

Ares: Of course not.

Ares: A baby don't have the lung capacity for the sound I just made.

[withlovefromolympus]

[achilles teaching patroclus to drive]

achilles: you’re driving and suddenly you see clytemnestra and agamemnon walk into the road. what do you hit?

patroclus: the brakes obviously

achilles: wrong. agamemnon. you should always hit agamemnon.

[princessofopus]

“Patrochilles is real,” I say into the mic, the crowd boos. I begin to walk off the stage in shame. “No, she’s right!” I hear a voice in the back say. The lights come on. It's Alexander the Great.
