Every Day I See Funny Pictures And Think “how Can I Make This About Eurylochus”

BRACE FOR THE STORM!

You know i had to

In your hc, what made Ody try to stab Dio during their mission?

I made a fic about that whole situation, in the little iliad it was for Odysseus to claim all the glory from the mission. But for my own interpretation, he did it on a blink of pure pressure of being this perfect warrior Athena intended for him to be. He feels the need to be ahead of others and not having any weaknesses and with that pressure bottling inside, I imagine that in the one moment of the heist he finally snapped and lashed out on Diomedes, the only person he let his guard down with,the only person he think he can be vulnerable with. Part of him denied this thought and it led to his attempt to stab Diomedes.

Which he actually regrets almost immediately the moment he went for the stab. Luckily Diomedes managed to dodge it in time. In that moment he probably is relieved that he failed to do so, it was a moment of pressure and he couldn’t think properly anyway. Now he has a whole new problem to deal with of trying to convince Diomedes not to kill him.

(And….the fic is entirely in Thai and I don’t have the power to translate all those in to English🥶 sorry)

Don't tell me you're not the same person.

Triton: Zeus, what the actual fuck? *gestures at Athena* Triton: I have not spent 200 years telling this little bird to be herself and not to let anyone take away her spark, just for you to come in and teach her the opposite? Fuck, I told her not to be mad at you because I believed she'd feel better that way, but let me tell you, I am majorly pissed off! Zeus: Triton: *incomprehensible angry Dad noises* Zeus: Didn't you ask me to take her? Triton: A) BECAUSE YOU FUCKING KILLED MY CHILD AND I WAS LOSING MY MIND A BIT and B) I DIDN'T KNOW HOW BADLY YOU WOULD TREAT HER!! Ody and fam in the background: *holding up "Go Triton" and "Bitchslap please" signs* The rest of Olympus: *eating popcorn* Athena: Pallas' ghost: FUCK HIM UP, DAD!

OOOOODYSSEUS OF ITHACAAAAAA

Oh wait! Ganymede has a face! As Always Gods designs and Odysseus are from Neal illustrator. Ganymede is my Design.

Okay, so I've been seeing a misunderstanding about Antinous' age going around, so here's my most recent bit of Odyssey research (read: combing through the entire Odyssey for scraps of dialogue)

First of all, the idea that Antinous is 19 is flat out incorrect. That's just folks doing a google search and not looking closely enough to realize that the 18-20-year-old Antinous is a different guy entirely (the lover of Emperor Hadrian). Antinous of Ithaca has no established canon age.

HOWEVER.

Telemachus indicates that Antinous, along with the other suitors, were adults when he was a child, or at least older than him.

When did the suitors arrive?

Four years ago, when Telemachus would've been 16.

Now, the bigger piece of evidence here:

Antinous was old enough before the war to have seen and remembered Odysseus well, but young enough that he was not forced to join the of-age men as soldiers.

Given this, I would assume he was at least 10, maybe as old as 15 when the Trojan war began. 20 years later, he is likely in his 30s when Odysseus returns from war.

It's also worth noting that Antinous' father is also present when Odysseus returns, implying that he was likely too old for war when the Trojan War began. While that doesn't necessarily indicate anything about Antinous' age, it does lend some strength to the argument that Antinous is on the older end of the scale, especially as the suitors are willing to defer to him as their leader.

Eurylochus: Ody, you gotta stop.. with this "pissing off the gods" thing—

Odysseus: Miss me with that gay shit

Eurylochus: WHAT GAY SHIT, THE LAW!??!?

hello my bloodstained gorgeous <3
