Sooo decided to treat myself this year and keep completing my epic cycle series!
Since I already had Iliad and Odyssey in the legendary modern Greek translation and purchased around a year ago the Butler translation (because the book was gorgeous 😍) realized I had to keep going so here goes
"Homerics" or "Epic Cycle" with the fragments of epic cycle and other works originally attributed to Homer including Vatrachomyomachia, Titanomacy, Oedipus Cycle, Thebais, Epigonoi, Cypria, Aethiopis, Little Iliad, Iliou Persis, Nostoi and many more (gosh so many in that small book!)
Quintus Smyrnaeus "Posthomerica" in 3 parts
Euripides "Trojan Women" and "Hecuba" because we want some critical take on the war too from the realm of "ancient adaptations"
And last but not least I thought why not
Apollonius Rhodius "Argonautica" because the epic cycle is one thing but let's see the trip that was partially playing its role to the whole thing hahaha 😆
Because nothing starts the year better than re-reading awesome books especially when they include both the original text and some really nice translations! 👌🏻
At least as far as the Greek sources go I am gathering stuff hahaha 😆 soon will add the Latin ones.
Odysseus on Circe's island. By Friedrich Preller the Elder.
Which lost Epic Cycle poem would you want fully found first?
The Cypria
The Aethiopis
The Little Iliad
The Iliupersis
The Nostoi
The Telegony
thinking about the curse of house atreides manifesting as madness.
agamemnon starts seeing iphigenia in the corners of rooms after aulis, her dress bloody from where the sacrificial knife went in. all she does is watch him. he starts shrinking in on himself. confusing people. diomedes opposes his talk of abandoning the fight and returning home and agamemnon starts shouting at him except hes calling him achilles. he thinks he sees iphigenia during the sacking of troy, and takes cassandra with him out of the city. his dead daughter sits across from him in the bathtub, and hes so busy looking at her he doesnt see the axe coming down.
menelaus, the longer they spend away from home, becomes more and more prone to explode about the smallest things. he yells at his brother when agamemnon is hesitant to sacrifice his daughter. he throws himself recklessly into the Trojan line day after day. he awards achilles armor to odysseus, knowing that itll upset ajax, wanting ajax to pick a fight. he still argues they should have left ajaxs body to rot after he killed himself. he almost kills helen when he finds her in the sacking, but aphrodite touches his shoulder and clears his mind.
thinking about only one brother making it out.

Sometimes I think of the ships. The ships of Achaeans—the hollow ships fully loaded with people when they left for war, but much hollower when they returned—if they did return at all. See the many people lost to the war? Some of the ships would be empty, abandoned by the shores of Troad, since there would be so few people left for some kingdoms, far from enough to fill up even half of their fleet. And see the many people lost to the sea? Shipwrecked in a divine storm, on the deadly rocks, under the boulders cast by foreign giants, by a beam of furious lightning, to be swallowed by waves, or burnt by fire…
How many ships could still make it home, out of the thousand that launched for war?
So Menelaos and Helen spent 7/8 years in Egypt after the Trojan War right?
According to the Nostoi, lost poem of the Epic cycle.
Agamemnon was killed upon returning from the war.
Clytemnestra was killed by Orestes 7 years later.
...
So Menelaos and Helen come back from their vacation/couple therapy and they find both their brother/sister dead 🥺
No point, I'm just sad for them.
This infographic illustrates the Epic Cycle (Ἐπικὸς Κύκλος), a lost collection of ancient Greek epic poems that once narrated the full arc of the Trojan War and its aftermath, from the origins of the conflict to the heroes' returns. Though only fragments survive today, the Cycle was once seen as a comprehensive mytho-historical narrative surrounding Troy. Likely composed between the 7th and 6th...
