So discovered the Epic musical and it’s fantastic , and of course my sentimental self immediately went to “Ok but what if Odysseus actually did raise Astyanax as his own —fluff/angst with a happy ending AU” 😅

So anyway here’s some quick rough doodles on that premise, might be more later

how I think Ancient Greek mythology boys would treat you hcs:

Achilles:

🏺-He’s a bit possessive, not entirely in a ‘red flag’ kind of way but a ‘My partner, I’ll kill you if you touch them” type of way

🏺- He doesn’t like to admit it but he loves to cuddle and hold you close. Especially after he takes a cold shower- he’ll just flop down next to you and shimmy over until he’s on top of you and he’ll just stay there; recharging from your warmth

🏺-he’s definitely more of a physical touch is his lover language type of guy. So holding hands, kisses on the cheeks, touching your hair, caressing you softly. Yeah- that’s what he likes

🏺- He seriously doesn’t like it when other men try to flirt with you..it rubs him the wrong way and it makes his anger bubble up, but he’s definitely not about to go over there and punch the guy in the face……at least..not when you’re around

🏺- He gets anxious when he sees you hurt, like I’m talking about, sprained ankle, flesh wounds, things like that. He grumbles to himself and makes you promise to be more careful.

Patroclus:

🌿- He’s not as possessive as Achilles, but he definitely has his possessive tendencies, like when you’re talking to another man, he’ll casually stroll on up and wrap his arms around you and just watch the guy with narrowed eyes

🌿- he’s a big old puppy dog, he loves hugging you whenever he can. He loves showering you with kisses. It’s just his thing. He especially enjoys holding you in bed and just listening to you heart beat

🌿-However, he loves giving gifts as well. From flowers to home cooked meals. You name it.

🌿- He doesn’t get as jealous as Achilles, but he only locks in when another man or woman is touching you inappropriately without your permission..he hates it.. he’ll try to be polite but stern about it.

🌿- If you ever get hurt, he doesn’t worry that much- because he’s confident he can heal any wound you appear to him with.,though he’d rather prevent than cure…

Perseus:

🛡️- He’s a big old golden retriever boy. He doesn’t get jealous easily because he’s confident that you wouldn’t leave him. He’s only a bit clingy and he almost always insists on carrying you places

🛡️- his love language is words of affirmation, or just loving words in general while he places soft kisses to your hand or palm. The look of devotion in his eyes when you stare back at him. The soft “My love…” or “my beloved..”..it just hits home for him.

🛡️- he loves to have you in his arms whenever he can. It just comes naturally to him, nuzzling your neck as I giggles and cuddles you on the sofa or bed or even the floor. He especially loves to tickle you just to hear your giggles.

🛡️- like mention before. He doesn’t get jealous that easily, instead he’ll probably loudly proclaim that you’re his spouse. And he gets a satisfied look on his face when he sees the scowl on other men or even women.

🛡️- if you get hurt he’ll apologise for not looking after you more carefully..even when you tell him it’s fine.he’s disappointed in himself for letting it happen. Especially under his roof. However anytime you do come to him to get it patched up. He’ll always give a small kiss to the treated wound. Like “boo boos go bye bye”

Orpheus:

🎼- He’s a bit sheepish with touch, but as soon as he warms up to it, he really loves to hold hands..and cuddle. It makes him feel safe and relaxed

🎼- He isn’t totally possessive, but he does make sure the person is at least an arms length away from you.. for their sake.

🎼- he loves to write odes to you. Songs, poems, the works. He’s got an entire book of love letters and an even bigger journal of songs and poems he’ll read to you.

🎼- He’s not really a jealous person but does get a bit moody and pouty, and sometimes he unintentionally stares at the man that’s flirting with you, and it’s so uncomfortable that the man leaves you alone. 🎼- when you get hurt, he’ll most certainly heal you. No doubt about, however he mutters to himself before you call him out on it. He apologises but it’s honestly cute, the way his brow furrows and his eyes are filled with worry. Afterwords he holds you in a soft hug.

sksksksksk I might do more of this. Eh if you see this and like it- drop more mytho boys for me to write about

So... I finished to read the Argonautica of Apollonius. Seriously? Seriously anybody is talking here about how, in book 4, Apsyrtus is killed by Jason and Medea.

How he is tricked by her sister into letting his guard down. How Jason slaughters him like a sacrificed bull (Apollonius says it, I'm just the messenger). How Medea averts her gaze because she cannot bear to see the death of her own family and therefore she is not yet the vengeful murderer of Euripides but Apsyrtus's last gesture is to soil Medea's white/shining veil.

How Medea wants to avoid it. How Apollonius needs a single verse to make it clear that she can't… SHE NEVER CAN.

How Jason tears Apsyrtus's body into pieces and LICKS HIS BLOOD THREE TIMES AND THEN SPITS IT OUT. How it is the same thing that Clytemnestra does with Agamemnon's corpse according to Sophocles' Electra.

How Apsirtus is killed in the foyer of a temple of Artemis and this goddess does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING because she is the only Olympian who accepts human sacrifices in mythology (cough… Iphigenia… cough)

THERE REALLY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS?!

I will NEVER get over the part of The Odyssey where Argos, Odysseus’s loyal dog, recognizes Odysseus after 20 years (even though he’s disguised) and THEN DIES.

"the symbolism of Achilles' shield" well now you gotta elaborate. Not the full 30 😅 but I'm curious!

omg omg omg thank you for asking!!! there's a couple different interpretations that i like so here we go:

-since thetis was prophecied to bear a son greater than his father and she was married off to peleus instead of zeus/ poseidon/ some other god, achilles was cheated out of the chance to rule over the cosmos (at least as he sees it, according to this interpretation). so, the shield, with its depictions of the world, represents what the gods cheated achilles out of (from his perspective). anyway, so if you're achilles, you've just lost your bf, you've been dishonored by agammemnon, you're just generally having a really bad time, literally carrying the physical representation of the destiny you were denied enhances your rage

-another interpretation is that it represents two different worlds: ideal and real. the city at war is achilles' reality at troy, while the city at peace is the world without troy/the war. now that i'm thinking abt it, the cities could probably be interpreted as achilles' two fates.

also not related to the question, but i love your fanfics and your interpretations of achilles and pat!! i just started reading "Fortune" and i am obsesseddddd. i love reading your thoughts on fandom racism too. it's something that i think should be talked about more, so i'm always glad to see BIPOC creators talking about their thoughts and experiences. your work is so great, and i'm a big fan. literally squealed when i saw you asked me about the shield 😅

If you're gonna call Odysseus a piece of shit cuz of his thing with Circe, you better call Calypso a piece of shit for SAing him as well. Don't hold double standards

Jealous, Jealous, Jealous Boy (Patroclus hcs)

Patroclus x Fem! Reader / GN reader (I don’t think it really matters but still, just in case)

🌿- Patroclus is usually always so calm. He never really makes it obvious when he’s jealous unless you really pay attention to his mannerism.

🍵- He always talks about how he’s sure he’s fine but yet does little things that hint to you that he’s being a bit possessive.

🌿-Again, he’ll try to be polite, but sometimes it just burns him to see people being touchy with you, especially if Achilles is being all flirtatious with you and seductive.

🍵-He knows how charming Achilles is, and he hates to admit it but he’s a bit worried that you’d leave him for the warrior prince.. he’s trying to work on it.

🌿- But it’s not his fault entirely…most times he’s gets overshadowed due to Achilles. After all- it’s his name that is mainly heard- not Patroclus..

🍵- He knows that you truly love him and wouldn’t play with his feelings but he’ll occasionally just come up to you, place his head on your shoulder and you’ll hear him mumbling something along the lines of: “I love you…so much…”

🌿-It’s his way of saying to you that he’ll never leave you and he hopes you feel the same (of course you do)

🍵-You don’t have to remind him a lot- he’s not that insecure. But sometimes he just needs a little reassurance. His confidence isn’t low, but we all have those moments, y’know

🌿- Sometimes all he needs is a little hug and a kiss and he’s all smiles once more. He’s such a sweet man.

"Now help me, Muse, for I wish to tell a piece of controversial math, for which the lawyers of DVD CCA don't forbear to sue: that they alone should know or have the right to teach these skills and these rules."

Apparently, back in the awfully awesome and awesomely awful aughts, there was some legal wrangling going on with regards to the programs that allowed people to decrypt DVDs.

One workaround was to distribute the programs in verse rather than in actual computer code?!

Due to the way the laws had been written/interpreted at that point, this meant that they could get away with it, I guess? Because it didn't count as a computer program, but was, rather, classified as poetry?
