#how is the binding of isaac psychologically complex anyway?
Photo
there is more depth and complexity in priam pleading with achilles than there is in the entire bible
#i once wrote a whole essay about it#how it represents a unique pagan perspective on forgiveness#but really christians are so arrogant sometimes#lmao at least the characters of the iliad and the odyssey for that matter#are actually characters#if you asked me about any character i could tell you about them#who they are what they are like what their goals are and so on#they are multifaceted and full of internal and external struggles and undergo character development#and even if this characterization of homeric epics was accurate#and i maintain it's not#but even if it was#we still have all the greek tragedies#which are again famous for their depth and complexity#christians stop being arrogant and develop some nuance challenge#lmao#how is the binding of isaac psychologically complex anyway?#like lol abraham doesn't even seem to hesitate at all#there is no evidence of internal psychological struggle#so i'd like to know what op is talking about#lol what is the ever abiding question of this tale?#the iliad on the other hand raises questions about#glory war mortality friendship love honor fate and so on#i could write essays about the love of achilles and patroclus#or the rivalry between achilles and hector#or as i mentioned the scene between achilles and priam#or the anguish of achilles#lmao not interesting or vital my ass#and don't even get me started on the odyssey#also glory and honor and revenge and duty and returning home#are all much more salient motivating factors than gold or women
