We shall suffer for what the gods have given us

Thinking about how Clytemnestra literally invented the red carpet

i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary

tired of the constant catalogue of ships hate.........reblog if you are a real catalogue of ships truther

just the idea of like saying “achilles is bisexual representation!!!” is crazy to me. in addition to being the lover of patroclus he also kidnaps and rapes women!! like. i understand some people have not read the iliad but in what world would you even think

The fact that there are gods with disabilities makes me so emotional. Hephaestus, Tyr, Hodr, Odin and other disabled deities just prove that being disabled is a vital part of the human experience, not a deviation from it, and that concept alone is so moving. Just like there are deities for specific human experiences like fertility or war, there are also deities with disabilities, which just proves that we have just as much of a place on this earth as mothers and warriors do. The idea of that has genuinely pulled me through some hard times.

I really like the idea that Laertes hears about Penelope's virtue, but honestly I much prefer the versions where Odysseus actually gets off his ass and does something to win his wife, he doesn’t just delegate it.
