You’ve heard of the Homeric wrath; be ready for the Homeric cold. It’s a cold of epic proportions, that drags in time and some petty god probably had a hand in causing it.

The Iliad is insane. Like batshit crazy. I'm only on book 4 so far. Its chaotic af
- More 💖drama💖 than any soap opera.
- Achilles asking his mom to kill everyone just cos they upset him
- Achilles Daddy Issues!
- Achilles & Patroclus seem cute in theory, but ACHILLES DOESN'T DESERVE PATROCLUS.
- Thetis is a mafia mommy, literally every God owes her.
- hera just like if I kill ur fav city, u can kill mine
- Helen literally calls herself a slut
- Hector calls his brother paris: "sex crazed seducer", & "should never have been born" & "disgrace"
- We love Hector.
- ACHILLES IS A DISNEY PRINCESS!!!!!
- Ares just vibin in all the death.
- we live to be as petty as Eris
- almost all female characters are girlboss, gatekeep, gaslight.
- all homeric heroes literal psychopaths.💀
- agamemnon's brother gets shot, he literally makes a speech about how that affects him - Menelaus literally comforts him while bleeding
- athene grabs Achilles' hair and stops him from lunging to kill someone, while invisible. That most look so silly.
- We also love Nestor 😍
