okay everyone I need to know, for reasons, who's the first - let's say the most quintessential -god you think of when you think of ancient Egypt?

mostly looking for responses from people who know only baseline stuff about Egypt, but anyone from kemetic to hardcore armchair historian is welcome to participate.

#10 is the max so I had to pick the ones I thought most likely to be the first to come up #which sadly is why Nephthys isn't in there but she's no. 1 in my heart #Egyptology #ancient Egypt #tagamennon #polls

Hades: Zeus, can I talk to you for a second? Zeus: Yeah, what’s up? Lemme guess. You and Persephone are having problems and you want me to teach you how to kiss? Hades: What? No, stop that. I know how to kiss. I’ve read books.

Happy birthday Ovid! 🎂🥳🥂

last year I had the pleasure to illustrate a mock book cover of the metamorphoses. I hope he would have liked it! This cover depicts several myths from the original book, including Apollo and Daphne, Narcissus, Dionysus transforming the sailors into dolphins, the daughters of Minyas, the Meneads, the Calydonian boar, and Icarus and Daedalus.

Sometimes I think about young Penelope and Odysseus and lose my mind like Penelope was smart and wise and witty and talented but her cousin was literally the most beautiful woman in the world like how do you compare to that and then Odysseus was so clever if not always wise and he saw her and she saw him, do you think they recognised each other the first time they saw each other? Recognised someone else who was playing the game, someone else who saw more clearly than the rest? Do you think Odysseus was tired of it all, of all his friends mooning over this woman, of his friends who were often good but not often particularly clever, and then one day he glances over and sees her cousin, knowing, perhaps mocking, and suddenly that's the most beautiful woman in the world and Helen's alright I suppose but not that great actually, and he was willing to help marry her off to some other man on the one condition that he'd have help in wooing Penelope. And then of course it's twenty years later every other ship that was going to return home has done so, no one would blame Penelope from thinking her husband dead but she NEVER DID and she lied and tricked and faced the hordes every day and even when he returned, when she was offered a way out of the hell she had been enduring, when all the suitors were dead and it seemed like her husband had returned to her she still had the presence of mind to test him like do you ever think about how they're SUCH a meeting of minds because I do every day

In case I haven’t mentioned it, I’m writing a thing! :D

Get excited people. But… probably not too excited. I finished the rough draft of chapter one and just started writing chapter two.

If you’re wondering what I’m writing, it’s a fanfic (What else would you expect from me? Honestly?) about the Odyssey that will be posted chapter by chapter- eh… weekly? Yeah. Weekly.

“Oh it’s a retelling? We have a bunch of those! Sure they’re good but like- ok?” I hear you say.

I know! I know. But hear me out!

This work will follow Odysseus from the Fall of Troy, through the Odyssey, and a short time afterwards, but with a twist: Odysseus adopts Astyanax, the infant prince of Ilium (Troy). Also, Ody will get home in half the time. Of course there will be some EPIC: the Musical inspired happenings and events cus that play caused my Greek Mythology hyperfixation to return with a vengeance by hiding in my love of theater. A “Thespian Horse,” if you will.

I’m anticipating it to be as long as the Odyssey in word count, give or take. Idk tho cus I haven’t written it yet lmao

I’m also not sure what I want to do with Polites. I know I want him to be more important of a character than in the Greek epic, but I don’t know what his fate will be.

Will he die at the hands of Polyphemus like in EPIC? Will he perish with the rest of the remaining crew for eating Helios’s cattle like in the original text? Will he find a secret third fate, somehow survive everything, and become the best uncle ever?

Who knows! Certainly not me.

This has been picking at my brain for months, and I’m so happy to be writing again! It feels so nice. I even got notebooks. This is gonna be sick! >:3

Here’s a little sneak peak:

————————————————————————

It was dark inside the horse.

No one dared to even light a torch for fear of alerting the sleeping Trojans outside. The air was warm and dank from the hours the Achaean soldiers spent hunched over in the cramped wooden space. Blind to the outside world, but not deaf.

They heard everything their enemy said throughout the previous day and the splintering of wood as one of the Trojans pierced the horse with his spear. They heard the grunts and strains of the Trojans pulling the horse to the gates. The crumble of stones as the masons of Troy chipped away at the walls to make room for the supposed gift to Athena. They heard Helen of Sparta, daughter of Zeus, the reason for this decade-long siege, impersonate their wives and call out to each of them.

The plot would have been discovered if not for Odysseus, the king of the island nation Ithaca, the mastermind behind the plan to take Troy and end the war. As Helen knocked and changed her voice, he felt Anticlus, a warrior beside him, begin to call out. Odysseus did not hesitate. He quickly and silently clasped his hand over Anticlus’s mouth, stifling his voice before he could speak. No one dared move as the citizens of Troy celebrated their victory over the Achaeans and the war's end.

The party lasted long into the night, and Dawn’s beautiful rays were fast approaching by the time the festivities ended, and the city fell quiet with sleep.

When Odysseus felt the time was right, he turned to Diomedes. They both nodded to each other, knowing Athena was with them and urging them that it was time to strike.

“Listen closely, my brothers,” Odysseus said, standing up and lighting his torch, “These past ten years, our numbers have been slowly depleted. The Trojans, our enemy, killed our friends, brothers, and fathers. But tonight, we will be the ones who slaughter all they hold dear.”

————————————————————————

Anyways. I’ll post the link once the first chapter is up. Wish me luck, fam. o7

ODYSSEUS IS BLONDE?WHAT THE FUCK

Tiberius, when the Senate mourns his son Drusus' death:

Sorrows,Sorrows, Prayers!

(with a resting b*tch face)

#tagamennon #Tiberius claudius nero #Drusus minor #ancient #ancient rome #bridgerton quote

[quill-is-brainstorming]

Quill reads:

The Eight Arrow

Chapter 1: Out of Depths

Part 2/2

Part 1 in case you missed it

I'm sorry Diomedes is BLOND???

"Diomedes knew when to shut the fuck up. Unfortunately for everyone however, I did not" - literally Odysseus

Damn, this'll be My Goodbye all over again, won't it?

LOOK AT ALL HIS HOPES AND DREAMS BEING UTTERLY CRUSHED BY ATHENA, GODDAMN-

Oh, alright so Athena is literally their mom, okay-

Honestly though, the "my sons" aside, this really feels like a mother telling her 9 year old children to go do something for her like taking out the trash and the kids taking it way too seriously.

"You've come to guide us out" :D

"Ah, you wish"

"But what are we supposed to do? We don't even know the way..."

"Yeah that's the point Diomedes, you absolute fucking moron."

Goddess of Wisdom? More like goddess of spitting absolute bars.

Athena, these two have been sitting in a flame for 3000 years, no need to roast them any further.

(Also watch as Athena is later on revealed to be like the Virgin Mary or something-)

Alright so this kinda confuses me.

Athena says they'll be teleported to the first circle of hell, "where the small-souled chase the wind", which I'm assuming is the actual first circle of hell, because the people there are basically forced to live in a tornado (very banal explanation of it, I know).

But then she mentions the entrance of hell...which isn't in the first circle. The first thing you see among entering Hell through the door is the Anti-Inferno, aka: the place where all the people that did neither bad nor good in life and that were forgotten stay in. Then you move down one circle and you find yourself in Limbo, the place where all good Pagan souls go. And only THEN you end up in the first circle.

Sooooo, which is it?

I mean I guess I COULD read ahead, but I'm trying to savor the experience little by little so we'll see.

I actually genuinely don't know if I want them to visit Limbo or not actually. Because on one hand, that's where all the Trojans (- Paris, he's in actual hell because Dante thought he was a pussy) are, which could be pretty interesting. On the other hand, I'm assuming this is where Penelope is (because you can't tell me she doesn't show up come on now) and I don't know if I want them reunion to happen so soon...

Again, we'll see :P

And yeah that's pretty much it for chapter 1. It was pretty short so I don't think I have a fully formed opinion on the book yet, but so far I'm having fun. As someone who's currently studying Dante's Inferno in class (and that likes it too), I am very curious to see where this goes.

so! It's taking me longer than I expected to finish up my wip since I'm having trouble researching specific things about farming which I really really need (been working on it for 8 years now). but I've been kind of rotating aeneas lately so as soon as I'm done with it I'm gonna start to actually try and flesh out something about him. although it's probably gonna take me another whole decade lol
