The Fact That The Last Lines Of The Iliad Are Thus, They Celebrated The Funeral Of Hector, Tamer Of Horses.

the fact that the last lines of the iliad are ‘thus, they celebrated the funeral of Hector, tamer of horses.’ makes me so sad. homer really ended a story that is full of violent imagery, of battle and death, with the celebration of the life of a good man, and the reminder of a gentler time. we dont need to see more death and the destruction of troy, we need to see a moment of peace

i'm haunted by the detail that big ajax uses hector's sword to kill himself. after their duel in book 7 hector and ajax trade the sword and a belt, respectively, in friendship but the cycle of violence goes inevitably on, revenge is enacted from beyond the grave, and hector gets one last kill even after he and achilles are both dead.

it fucks me up even more in the versions where hector is tied to achilles' chariot using ajax' belt. not to mention the possibility of myth variations where the chariot-dragging IS the method of execution, and not something done to hector post-mortem, which would make ajax directly complicit in hector's death.

it's a spiral of dominoes: hector kills achilles' closest companion which makes achilles kill hector which makes hector's brother kill achilles which makes achilles' friend kill himself with hector's weapon. doesn't thinking about it make you crazy!

bioware needs to go to hell what do you MEAN we could of had a bad bitch like this in swtor. why did we NOT get arcann looking like this. sick and fuckign TWISTED

Achilles’ armors both versions. These are ancient armors inspired, please do not use them as an actual source.

For version 1, I mainly use Dendra armor as ref, so it will look more bulky. The tuft on the helmet will float a bit like fire. Overall the armor is very light reflective and bright. I added a cape because, uh, dramatic effect.

Version 2 will basically demolish almost every characteristic of version 1. Way less reflective, and will be shaded with more black. This armor will prioritize his speed and swift foot nature instead of protection. The helmet will have 4 horns (since he is now more beast than man) and the tuft will even look more like wild fire. After unaliving Hector, he tore the old cape and tied it around his torso, however I am considering the option of one shoulder cape.

Literally them

Drew a little bit of that audio of Logan Cunningham reading the Iliad
