Why Are Titles So Hard

Why are titles so hard 😭

BEAUTIFUL ART!!!! I don't have nothing to say, it's majestic, it's so amazing!.

But......he wasn't an incel...he was a victim of sexual assault TWICE!.

He didn't cheat Willingly, ehhhh... with Circe he was forced by Hermes (yes, HERMES said: even then, don't refuse her bed), after giving him the moly.

Also the argument, but he stayed in Aiaia for a year, he stayed there as a way for his crew to recover, she fed them and clothed them; if it wasn't for Odysseus, they would have stayed as pigs or worse: jamón and bacon.

And Calypso.....with Calypso he was a sex slave, he cried everytime, everyday, so daily it became that when Hermes ask Calypso where he (Odysseus)was, she said: ohhh, at the beach crying like everyday....

“Said so the powerfull Argophontes (Hermes), he rosed, and the venerable nymph (Calypso) after hearing Zeus’s orders went where the magnificent Odysseus was.

She found him in the shore, with never ending tears that never dried as his sweet life was being consumed by grief, longing for the Returning (Nostoi), as the nymph wasn’t kind to him. Although at night he slept with her in the concave cave, with whom (Calypso) she longed; the day was spent alone, crying and sitting at the shore, his heart ravaged in tears, screams and pains, contemplating the untameable sea with bitter cries.” V Chant (The Odyssey), Spanish translation

He wasn't an incel, he had a WIFE AND SON who he loved to the moon and back, Penelope was in his lisps everyday in the Illiad and Odyssey and he didn't called himself: Odysseus, son of Laertes, no; he was Odysseus, father of Telemachus.

He didn't love the two (Circe and Calypso) and to add salt to the injury the power inbalance was horrible (they were inmortals, two daughters of Titans, he a mere mortal whose life could have ended in a moment).

What I'm trying to say, it's that though Odysseus was not the best person ever (he was a compulsive liar and more), he wasn't an incel, he was a victim of s.a.

Before I end this, I don't want this post to come across as a hate comment, in the slightess, I really like Circe and her overall ordeal and her charms and all, she gave him instructions, food and shelter in the end; but she admits that he was there against his will, Calypso can die in a hole six feet under, but don't forget and write Odysseus as a womanizer, incel or other things further from the truth, he is not a Hamilton, he's nothing of that.

Sorry for the rant and the painting is beautiful and so so pretty!

i don’t know why odysseus was so scared of a bunch of women, what an incel (circes island)

@perroulisses Niko finally did it!

trying to figure out their design again

Are you challenging me.....???? @whump-bunny

Not really, this is beautiful!!!, though I don´t know how it could be executed, I´m in the middle of writing a fic so if you want to check it out is called the First night is here on Tumblr, part 1 and 2.

If you think you like my style, send me an ask or what you think is better and we´ll start working if you want. But I will need a little bit more info to know what we would ended up doing.

Also exam season is in the horizon and I may not be able to answer as quickly as possible.

Hope you have a good day/night!!!!

Not what I usually post, but I've had this idea in mind for a crossover fanfic between Orpheus and Odysseus, in which they solve each other's problems and everyone gets a happy ending. Here's the idea:

After losing Eurydice, Orpheus is despondent and throws himself into the sea in an attempt to drown himself. Unfortunately, his singing voice is so beautiful that the sea itself refuses to kill him, and instead he floats aimlessly on a piece of driftwood, unable to join his lost love.

Meanwhile, Odysseus has pissed off Poseidon and is trying very hard not to get himself and his crew killed. One day, after leaving Circe's island with instructions to head to the underworld, they spot Orpheus floating in the waves. Odysseus pulls him out of the water, and they share their tales of woe.

When Orpheus hears that Odysseus plans to go to the underworld, he lights up at the chance to see his love once again. They go down there and Orpheus once again tries to convince Hades to let her go. But Hades will not budge, until Odysseus uses his powers of being Smart (tm) to trick him into letting her go. (I don't have the exact details worked out yet.)

Anyway, Orpheus gets Eurydice back, and is so happy that he sings a song of love. The song is so beautiful that it calms Poseidon, who then allows Odysseus and his crew to travel safely back to Ithaca.

Odysseus returns home, only a few years late instead of 20, and reunites with Penelope. Orpheus and Eurydice live a long happy life together before dying of old age in each other's arms, and everyone is happy. The end.

(If someone wants to write this, do it and tag me lol)

Iro, the instructions of packages are my nightmare, my english brain activates and for 20 minutos me olvido de como leches hablar en español, me pasa por desgracia.

Don't you ever just stare at a text and your mind goes completely blank you can't understand your own language

Hi! Aaron here, if you don´t know me I´m a just a silly guy here on tumblr.🖐

But I have seen so many posts that Odysseus is a womanizer, incel or whatever; usually is from people that had a tenuous understanding of The Odyssey and when talked to are so kind and really interested in that. Nobody is born with knowledge of everything and I respect that (I don´t know everything either)

And I usually reply with long posts so nothing I say is forgotten, but what get´s me on my nerves is after having a civilized and kind conversation with the op´s the next comment usually is something like: yeah Odysseus SUCKS!! or Odysseus is a pos (regarding his fidelity and love to Penelope), skipping over the fact that:

First, I try to talk about the Homeric version (canon) not other retellings (Madelleine Miller´s Circe comes up so many times, I´m not saying I hate her book, I have a love-hate relation with that book for other reasons)

Second, op said they were wronged or had a skewed perception of the matter and changes the post (usually) and alter the tags to say sorry or something.

Third, I´m usually not the only one who shares information regarding the topic, there´s so much people more knowledgeable than me in that matter and mythology in general (YOU HAVE MY UPMOST RESPECT AND PLEASE IF I´M WRONG CORRECT ME!!)

And so many people become upset when other says, read the reblogs and see, they become offended and so on.....

What I´m try to say please let the poor man alone, he had enough of that. He is a pos, but not in that matter, he´s a pathological liar, there´s no denying that.

But if you need proof that Odysseus was forced into sleeping with Circe and Calypso, here it is:

Circe´s case

I apologize before hand as my book is in Spanish and because of that has a tendency of calling Odysseus Ulises (Spanish translation of the latin Ulixes)

translation:

...and I hugged her knees, supplicant and the goddess heard my voice.

And with winged words I said:

-Oh Circe! keep up the promise you have to send me to my home, as my soul compels me, and my comrades pound my cherished heart sobbing around me when I´m not with you.

That´s how i spoke and the noble goddess answered my act

-Divine son of Laertes, cunning Odysseus, stay no more in palace against your will...

The knee hugging was the utmost vulnerable action an Homeric character could do, Priam hugged Achilles knees imploring Achilles to let him have the body of Hector (his son), it is shown when a character is in such poor situation, they´re begging for mercy, not casually.

This is a snippet of the end of Chant VIII, in this chant he narrates everything of what happened in Aiaia (Circe´s island) There are more fragments where is reiterated that his there against his will and is not happy there.

Calypso´s case

This so heart-breaking T T

V Chant

“Said so the powerfull Argophontes (Hermes), he rosed, and the venerable nymph (Calypso) after hearing Zeus’s orders went where the magnificent Odysseus was.

She found him in the shore, with never ending tears that never dried as his sweet life was being consumed by grief, longing for the Returning (Nostoi), as the nymph wasn’t kind to him. Although at night he slept with her in the concave cave, with whom (Calypso) she longed; the day was spent alone, crying and sitting at the shore, his heart ravaged in tears, screams and pains, contemplating the untameable sea with bitter cries.”

And this is his answer after Calypso says he is going to be freed

Said so, the pacient and divine Odysseus, shacking, answered with these winged words.

-Surely you have another thought, nymph, different of my part when you send to cross the sea on a raft the immense waters of the sea, terrible and scary, that even the symmetrical boats helped by Zeus´s breath would crossed those scathed. I will not go to the raft, as you wish, if you don´t vow to the gods that you are not plotting my demise before hand.
