Finally figured out how to feature my favourite person from that era of history into Alexander Comic Book 2. ✌️

Demosthenes doesn't really appear in the Alexander Romance, but he's such a presence in Philip and Alexander's histories, and if there's one thing the Romance did Demosthenes dirty, it didn't portray just how much of a Hater he was. I love how he's this hyper rambly nerd who had a lot of hot takes and rage against Philip in the safety of his home in Athens, but when he was called to Macedon to confront Philip himself in person he totally blanked out. Amazing. Pure online hater energy. He invented the 30 Page Callout Post. He performed the crab dance gif when he found out about Philip's assassination, even while he was supposed to be mourning for the death of his child. He's the best person I discovered from all my research into Alexander and I am glad to be able to give him a spot in my comic. Demosthenes ftw.

Nothing is easier than self-deceit.

For what every man wishes,

that he also believes to be true.

One person who should have been extra romanceable and two people who should have been romanceable at all. Xenia, Demosthenes, and Anthousa.🖤 For AC Odyssey Rarepair/Rare Character day.

Every dictator by his nature is an enemy to freedom, an opponent of law, a deposer of democracy. Though it may be useful, in military terms, to make an ally of a dictator, beware, because in the long term he will always be an enemy to democracy.

Demosthenes, Second Philippic (344 BCE)

THE LINE THEY FEED YOU

“Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Overman — a rope over an abyss.” — Friedrich Nietzsche This three-part image (with this two-part text) shows some predators, some prey, and someone trying to be neither. It seems to be getting worse for the last type, but maybe that’s not new, though. It sure seems like their habitats are shrinking, and worse, their means of survival—trust—is…
