I wanted to adapt one of my favorite scenes from the Iliad into a comic ✨ the dialogue borrows and takes direction/inspiration from various translations, although pacing, general flow of the words, and page space got the final say in what I ultimately ended up deciding to letter.

(Iliad, book 20, trans. fagles)

(same scene, trans. lattimore)

#the iliad #achilles #aeneas #someday im going to do Achilles Committing Murder and also probably the night raid scene #i did lay outs for the night raid scene awhile ago i just havent been able to summon the motivation to draw it RIP #aeneas becoming taller than achilles is a deliberate thing i chose to do the gods towering over people is fun and i am thinking about how #narratively weird aeneas gets like goddamn my good man #drawing tag #komiks tag #it's all greek to me
