"‘Are you injured, sir?’
I think he was swearing, but am not certain; however, he was pronouncing some formula which prevented him from replying to me directly."

The Homeric Question feat. Prince Zagreus
For further reading, please check out Martin West's "The Homeric Question Today".
Additional caveats and comic text after the cut:
Additional Caveats:
Writing in Greece existed during the Bronze Age in the form of Linear B (and other systems such as Linear A on Minoan Crete), but after the subsequent collapse of Bronze Age civilization, the system disappeared from Greece.
The first mention of Homer as the author of both poems comes from comes from 520 BCE, a century or more after the poems were created. Prior to this, there was much debate even in ancient times as to the poems' origins, some citing different authors, others saying the creators were anonymous.
Comic Text:
Title: Greek History 101 with Prince Zagreus
Subtitle: The Homeric Question
Written and drawn by Argetcross. Colors by Spleen.
[Panel 1]
NARRATION: Although he might not look it, the Prince is quite the avid reader.
NARRATION: Stuck in the Underworld, it's the only way he learns about the heroes of old. He particularly likes the Iliad and the Odyssey.
TEXT AROUND ACHILLES: The mistakes of my youth.... Embarrassing (<- A Hero of Old)
[Panel 2]
ZAGREUS: To create such a work, Homer must be a poet to rival Orpheus!
[Panel 3]
HERMES: Actually did you know Homer might have never existed?
ZAGREUS: Huh?
[Panel 4]
NARRATION (HERMES): Before the Phoenician alphabet came to Greece (~8th century BC), all the tales were sung by oral poets! They were the ones passing the story down.
NARRATION (HERMES): When the Iliad and Odyssey were written down, those writers certainly used the work of the poets before them. Scholars even believe the two epics were written at different times by different people!
HERMES: So you see, it really was the work of generations that made these poems. (Also there is no record of a man named Homer.)
[Panel 5]
ZAGREUS: You're a sly guy, putting your name on so many people's work...
(IN-GAME) NARRATOR: Stop looking at me like that!

Welcome to Doki Doki Literature Club!
DDLC AU 💖✨💌📝
Normal version!
Chaotic version! ⛓🔪📕👁️
I FINALLY finished it! It took a freaking month to make both. Hopefully the wait was worth it, was planning to make this as a game first since it might be easier to create but I don't think so. Depends if this thing even last long, don't worry about the "It Takes Two" AU. I'm still working on concept art for each character, I just had to put that on hold for a while. Which reminds me, if you have any interest helping me in any way by either voice acting, creating background characters or with the storyboard for the AU then ask me! Sadly, I'm broke so I can't pay you. Right now I'm looking for people to help me with the script and storyboard, one so far said yes! Anyways, I hope you like it! Have best day! <3
I made a new server, If you want to voice act any of these guys then click the link on here! <3

guess who read frankenstein
[image ID: four images showing different versions and crops of a digital illustration of a scene from mary shelley's frankenstein. the illustration shows victor frankenstein, a young thin man with light skin and messy brown hair dressed in a light collared shirt, partially laying down in bed, clutching his sheets as he props himself up, sweating and frightened. moonlight comes in through a tall window. leaning over the foot of victor's bed is his creature, a tall and muscular humanoid figure with pale patched and stitched skin, prominent scars, long black hair and eyes reflecting a glowing yellow, grinning down at victor. the second image is a close up on victor's face, the third is a close up on the creature's face, and the final image is a version or the illustration that is lighter and warmer toned. end ID]
