to me the thing about deification is that something fundamental is lost in the process

people can’t be immortal. so in order to be immortal you can’t be a person anymore. you have to be distilled. stripped of everything. till you come out the other side as an abstract concept.

telemachus' first interactions with athena are everything to me. he has no idea he's speaking to a goddess so there's no posturing, no pretense. just: “greetings, stranger. sit, rest, have some wine. btw not to be indelicate but my life is a joke & these suitors fucking suck. welcome to ithaca”

why are men so self conscious about their height when there are so many more important flaws to be self conscious about like the lack of emotional intelligence

when priam is like hi helen you have done nothing wrong in your life ever i only blame the gods and fate. btw who is that massive hottie on the battlefield. and helen is like you have been at war with this guy for the past nine years how do you not know who agamemnon is

aeschylus is dead sophocles is dead euripides is dead and me i feel not so good
