He's just standing there like

do u go with the version of the myth where helen willingly escapes with paris or the one where he kidnaps her?

tbh i think it wouldn't make sense if helen was kidnapped, because if paris "received" helen as a gift of aphrodite for choosing her, it's more likely that she made helen fall in love with him innit? i mean, i tried to go with the version where helen loves menelaus and everything but it's easier for me to imagine that she "wanted" to go to troy (and went back to normal when paris died?)

idk, what do u think about it?

Ahm... I don't want to bother so fast with dumb questions 👉👈 But i have this one when i was reading a Greek Mythology's blog (and i've been seeing this also in videos and others places): Was Apollo responsable from Thamyris's punishment? I saw many people saying that Apollo wanted to erase his rival in the love of Hyacinthus and he told the Muses that the guy boasted about being better than them, so that's why the Muses punished him. I've been seeing this on a video about greek mythology, a post about myths too, and in websites talking about myths, but i couldn't find any ancient source in which Apollo is related to Thamyris' disgrace. The only "ancient source" i found with both togheter in the Muses' contest is one vase painting when Apollo is present with the Muses.

The thing with "Apollo wanted Thamyris away from Hyacinthus" i think begin with a modern book about "queer greek relationships", as i saw... But people are taking as if did happened in ancient sources (just like the "Hestia gave her seat to Dionysus" wrote by Robert Graves, or the "Medusa was a priestess of Minerva", which i don't know when it started). Anyway, maybe you know better about it! Thanks!

It's been recorded so by a late source:
