re: this post it's interesting that tyndareus choosing helen's husband and helen choosing for herself both come with versions of the story where odysseus was the brain behind the oath, if you consider odysseus and helen as foils and all the possible permutations of "i'm the one who devised the plot that [allowed you to choose]/[trapped you in something you did not choose], that you [left willingly]/[left unwillingly], which in turn trapped me"

Achilles: *Opens the door and holds it open* After you, sir. Agamemnon: No thank you. I never let anyone walk behind me. 7 out of 10 attacks come from behind. Achilles: Well, that still leaves a 30% chance that I'll attack you from the front... Agamemnon: Yes, but it will be easier to stop. I can obviously always block the blow. I would countert it.

Diomedes sitting on a couch with his arms crossed: So I've seen that you've been spending a lot of time with Penelope lately. Odysseus: Wait no dude it's not what it looks like I swear Diomedes: Oh really? So theres no reason for me to be jealous? Odysseus: No! You're the only one for me Diomedes: Is that so? Odysseus: I promise! Penelope and I are just dating, ok? Diomedes: so there's no rivalry-friendship feelings involved? Odysseus: you are still my only Rival. She's just the best thing that's happened to me. Nothing more Diomedes: but I'm the best Rival to have happened to you right? Odysseus: Of course! Penelope just watching all of this go down: What the fuck

Menelaus: Why aren't there friend pick-up lines? Pick up lines to make friends like- Menelaus, to Antilochus: Hey, that's a cute outfit. You know where it would look better? On nobody else, because you're a beautiful individual. Odysseus, to Diomedes: Be my friend or I'll set your entire family on fire. Patroclus: There are two types of people.
