What has Hector ever done to me?

The thing about the famous “I could recognise him by touch alone/I would know him blind" quote is that its a direct response to Patroclus' hearing about how Heracles, in a fit of madness, was not able to recognise his wife and killed her thinking she was an enemy. Basically, Patroclus is saying RIP to Heracles but I'm different.

my ancient greek history professor is making us post memes weekly. i swear to god

I…I need context. I’m gonna research all this shit one day.. If I remember after work

I understand most of these!

I find it amazing that like a huge chunk of today’s youth makes and laughs at vague memes of events like a millennia ago which future historians will spend hours puzzling over
