I Love When People Are Like This Character Is A War Criminal And Show A Character From A Setting Where

I love when people are like “this character is a war criminal” and show a character from a setting where we have no idea what the rules of war are. Like yeah they’re a torturer or murderer or whatever but if you wanna call them a criminal over it you gotta back it up with some kind of indication of what things might be in their conventions.

odyssey adaptation where a mini odysseus appears, pauses and explains how he'll get out of his latest misadventure

pylades and orestes 

“We need more evil women in media!!” no because y'all couldn't even handle [insert any complicated morally gray female character with a long, rich history from Greek mythology that has been reduced to "girlboss" in modern retellings]

some of my favorite pallas “scumbag” athena bits from the iliad:

shoving sthenelus out of the chariot b/c she’s going to drive diomedes into battle and she can’t be bothered to like ask him to get off

punching aphrodite in the boob

saying that aphrodite scratched her hand on a brooch when she’d in fact been stabbed on athena’s orders

making a deal with ares to stop interfering in the fight and then immediately giving diomedes special shiny powers

convincing pandarus to shoot menelaus in book four and then guiding the javelin to kill pandarus in the book five

the many, many ways she cheats during the funeral games to make sure diomedes and odysseus win

everything to do with hector’s death and deiphobus 

all the times she and hera stand in the back of the room and mutter about destroying troy together

I changed some things, and now we have Patroclus

They look like this in my head,I'm too lazy to draw Patroclus :)

Diomedes king of Argos
