Telemachus As That One Pic Ft. Argos

you ever feel like you were born with something rotten inside you and if people get close enough they’re gonna find out

Instead of coffee, get tased by the police this morning. Its electrifying.

So silly when straight friends slap my ass with a stretchy hand. Do it yourself, coward.

I will acquise, with having Only read the Iliad and not read the stories where Achilles "falls madly in love" with Deidemia, it's very easy to interpret this man as being gay* and plainly not actually interested in women as anything beyond a status symbol. Sure he "acquires" women from Lesbos for himself and Patroclus, and is upset when Briseis is taken from him but it's easy to read that as expectation/obligation and his pride being hurt, respectively, moreso than him being genuinely interested in women.

Patroclus, well, i don't think we spend enough time with him to know but I feel like it could go either way, with him being either gay or bisexual

*i am aware that our modern terminology and understanding of sexuality is not the same as sexuality from any other time but for simplicity sakes i'm using gay and bisexual

I really need to collapse onto the floor right now. Could really use some nice comforting exhaustion

the nerd i reblogged this from has a quality blog & i recommend you all follow them.

I am currently looking at a pc, a laptop, an iPad, and a phone. I have achieved peak unproductivity.

Idk abt y’all but one of my favorite things about Homers literature is thinking less about morality, since the culture and context the text was written in was wildly different from our own

This concludes my thesis on why Odysseus and Achilles are my favorite
