From What Ive Gathered Online, These Two Books Compared The PTSD Of Iliads Soldiers And Old Vietnam Veterans,

From what I’ve gathered online, these two books compared the PTSD of Iliad’s soldiers and old Vietnam veterans, and are written by a psychiatrist.

If you have come across one of these books, please give me some reviews :3

Its always neoptolemus was unhinged. Neoptololemus took his father's rage and pride and doubled it. And never odysseus taught him the art of war crimes

me when im SOOOOOOOO normal about greek mythology and curses and what not. anyway i like to think orestes a little hesitant abt matricide on the journey. when your cringe god bestows you with some fucking task

Poseidon's boyfriends be like

Thinking about what went on at Olympus during the Trojan War is so interesting cause it must have been so tense in there at times 😭 but even before like. Who made the decision to choose *Paris* in particular and did they know who he was ?? (I assume they did because well they're gods) Because if they did. What was Hera's role in it ? Because if he picked her as the winner, she would have a Trojan as her protégé. You know who else is a Trojan ? Ganymede ! (Thinking of him during the war destroys me.) So... Did Zeus pick Paris hoping he'd choose her ? Did Hermes do it ? Was it just the first man they saw ? So many questions...

And speaking of Trojans, Apollo kinda contributed to the doom of his own side when you think about it

Ares has an *interesting* depiction during the Iliad but it's quite funny how he was just unbothered at first to the point of changing sides because Aphrodite asked him to 😭 over his own MOTHER and sister he's whipped fr

Hypnos' appearances are funny too like his whole thing with Hera 😭 "I'm not making Zeus asleep again did you forget what happened last time ?"

*What happened last time :*

Nyx @ Zeus :

Hypnos : Yeah so I'm not doing that again

Hera : Your girlfriend in marriage

Hypnos :

"...Swear it on the Styx"

Hera : "I swear you'll have her as your wife"

Hypnos : "DEAL !"

And then him and Thanatos have to carry Sarpedon's dead body off the field because that's what being a nepo baby gets you in Ancient Greece. (Did Zeus ever know about Hypnos usung his power on him again ? Guess we'll never know)

There's also a quote I found on Theoi.com about what happens supposedly he put Zeus to sleep which I find absolutely hilarious, go check Pasithea's to see it. Hypnos is as much of a horny one as any other god 😭😭😭 that was one of the funniest euphemisms I ever read.

Just noticed I got distracted. How did I go from Ganymede's no good decade to this

IF I SEE ONE MORE POST WANTING ODYSSEUS TO ADOPT ASTYANAX I WILL KILL SOMEONE

If we think like people, what would happen 🤔 Not really what would happen

1. THIS CHILD WILL DIE IN THE STORM ON THE WAY TO GREECE

2.IF NOT he will kill them all like dogs and you know what HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO
