I’m sorry!! I’m not rushing you or anything but do you have a peisistratus design yet? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want too😭

Peisistratus of Pylos ! Son of Nestor !!

I gave them both my poseidon's eyes and freckles cause Nestor is poseidon's grandson

The Iron Horse (The Iliad Western AU)

Achilles is dead. The City of Troy did not fall. Apart from the riches it hides behind its gates, it also stores damning evidence against Agamemnon's notorious gang — the Achaeans.

Will the Achaeans raid the city again and to steal the money and dispose of the proofs? Will Menelaus save his wife from being stuck in an alien city, in a stranger's arms? Will the gang prevail despite the conflicts and affairs within? Will the story of the Achaeans bring a happy ending to each of them?

Welcome to the story of robberies, murders, conflicts and love (not always requited). Enjoy!

Agamemnon's method of inspiring his troops is....interesting.

@ Nestor: oh if only u were young again and could actually stab things

@ Odysseus: oh if only u werent a greedy, treacherous wee bastard who cared more abt feasting than fighting!!!

@ Diomedes: oh if only- wait, nah, what am i saying? lol u will never be as good as ur dad.

Like mate calm down!! They might trip over and hurt themselves if u keep giving them big heads!!!

nestor cant give the poor guy a break

Diomedes: Litreally wins every game in Patroclus’ funeral. Nestor: “OK BUT YOU’LL NEVER BE AS GREAT AS—“

“Showing Athena around the Greek Camp”

Recorded by Odysseus Laertides (1700 b.C.)

[irefy]

My favorite parts of the Odyssey (and things I took note of while reading):

Telemachus not understanding Penelope’s grief over Odysseus

Telemachus being So Done with the Suitors

Athena calling Odysseus her “old friend” twice while in disguise.

Athena disguising herself exclusively as Odysseus’ friends when appearing to Telemachus.

Athena’s utter disdain for Calypso. (It’s really funny, actually. She does just seem to hate her.)

Nestor (WHY IS THIS BITCH STILL ALIVE HE WAS OLD DURING THE TROJAN WAR AND ITS BEEN TEN FUCKING YEARS.)

Nestor being asked for news of Odysseus and admitting he doesn’t know anything, then immediately going on a rant about his own journey home.

Nestor having EVEN MORE SONS. WTF. WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM.

Nestor saying he’s never seen a god more openly fond of anyone than Athena is of Odysseus.

SERIOUSLY HOW OLD IS NESTOR???? ITS SAID HES RULED FOR THREE GENERATIONS.

Menelaus going to Egypt and getting even more rich right after Troy, while Agamemnon was murdered in his own house.

Everyone bursting into tears over dinner when talking about Odysseus

Menelaus disguising himself as a seal.

The seal skins that they used for said disguise smelled so bad the goddess who was helping him put ambrosia under his nose

The old man of the sea saying he shouldn’t tell Menelaus who got home alright and then proceeding to tell him every little detail.

The first time we see Odysseus, he’s on Calypso’s island crying “as usual.”

The return of “What are you talking about?” Still laughing my ass off about this btw.

Nausica seeing a dirty, scruffy, naked man (he was wearing a branch but that doesn’t count) come out of a bush and getting annoyed at her maidens for being afraid.

Athena making Odysseus look young and hot to the maidens and Nausica. I don’t know why. She really didn’t have to.

Athena making Odysseus invisible but not telling him, so when he goes up to the phaeacian queen and Athena makes him visible again everyone is confused about where this random, scruffy, homeless looking man came from.

Seriously. They were eating dinner and then suddenly a guy was just there.

King Alcinous wonders if Odysseus is a god, and Odysseus is very confused about why he would think this.

One guess why he would think this.

Alcinous, after knowing Odysseus for like. A few hours. Asks him to stay and marry his daughter. He doesn’t even know his name.

Hermes telling Odysseus that he has to be careful or Circe will “unman” him

The men transforming back from pigs and being younger and hotter than before. Again. Why.

Them getting really emotional and crying with thanks for Odysseus saving them (seriously everyone is crying all the time. They all cried earlier too)

The sight is so pathetic that Circe, the notorious man hating goddess, takes pity and invites the whole crew to her palace.

Eurylochus spreading doubt and immediately folding at the expression on Odysseus’ face

Circe getting annoyed with all the crying and basically telling Odysseus to tell them to shut up.

Elpenor. Need I say more?

Oh my god they’re all crying again.

Ajax being a sore loser

Elpenor got a funeral!!! Yay!!!

EX-FUCKING-CUSE ME???!!!!??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE CATTLE MADE NOISE WHILE THEY WERE BEING COOKED????? IMAGINE YOUR STEAK JUST MOOS AT YOU. THATS NIGHTMARE FUEL.

Odysseus falling asleep immediately after getting onto the Phaeacian ship. What a mood.

Odysseus condemning liars while actively lying to Eumaeus.

Odysseus condemning liars while actively lying to Eumaeus and immediately after making up a story in which he meets himself.

Odysseus pounding on his chest and yelling at his heart to stop beating so fast.

His heart listens.

Theoclymenus immediately getting Murder Vibes from Telemachus and Odysseus and deciding to nope out

Telemachus defending Penelope from the suitors by saying her praises. I thought it was actually really sweet, because a majority of the time he was kind of rude to her. Shows he really did care and didn’t want to force her into anything against her will, despite the way he sometimes talked to her.

Odysseus stringing his bow and shooting through the axes (iconic)

Odysseus IMMEDIATELY AFTER stripping. He shoots Antinous naked. Everything out there. Telemachus must have wished he didn’t have eyes.

Penelope and Telemachus’ arcs (swapping viewpoints on Odysseus’ possible return.)

Athena holding off dawn so that Odysseus and Penelope could have lots of sex.

Odysseus and Penelope’s entire reunion

ODYSSEUS TREATING THEIR STRUGGLES AS EQUAL. YES.

ODYSSEUS TREATING PENELOPE AS HIS EQUAL WHEN EVERYONE ELSE UNDERESTIMATES HER.

Odysseus visiting his father and instead of telling him who he is immediately he decides to play a silly little game.

And by that I mean he makes up a random story on the spot when he doesn’t recognize him.

Laertes, used to the antics, doesn’t question this.

When Athena stops the fighting between the suitors families and Odysseus, and the suitor’s families begin to retreat, Odysseus chases them.

Zeus sends a lightning bolt to tell him to stop.

modern au antilochus would make nestor read brainrot words

[brainrot-sy]

I need to inhale more of your Telestratus PLEASSE

ask and you shall receive

i imagine nestor being calm and proud and smiling (since he was the one that emphasized the fact that pisistratus is quite single) while odysseus freaks out but the spiderman meme was too funny to pass up on

Snippets #4

Telemachus: Diabetes Diomedes: Telemarketing Agamemnon: Arch-hiles Achilles: A game on Odysseus: Nestor, what are they doing? Nestor: Well, Penelope's Bitch, they're going over their code names. Odysseus: *Realises what Nestor called him* Hey! Teucer: He's not wrong, you do ask Penelope's permission to do anything. Lil' Ajax: You didn't build the horse until you got her permission. Odysseus:...That doesn't mean I'm her bitch. Penelope: Yes it does Odysseus: Yes it does
