Murder Dosn't Count As A Sport Odysseus

Murder dosn't count as a Sport Odysseus

Palamedes: *invents dice games*

Odysseus: I'm more of a sports guy, myself

Yikes, I just finished reading ‘Hippolytus’ by Euripides…. This is the most intense thousands-of-years-old soap opera ever! Hippolytus is a complicated guy. He is an illegitimate child, has outright contempt for women (like, wishes you could exchange gold for offspring rather than have to deal with a woman), but loves Artemis (goddess of the hunt) and in turn he is her favourite mortal… Is essentially killed by his own father, via Poseidon, for a crime he didn’t actually commit, but graciously forgives his father before he dies… and that’s the end. Moral of the story? Aphrodite takes it very personally when one chooses celibacy. 

Chomps on him

Btw, an odyssey moment from my class that happened the other day:

My friend: so do you think the professor is gonna grade our work today or..?

Me: No clue, actually.

The professor in question: *sneezes*

My friend: OH GOD HE IS.

Palamedes: *invents dice games*

Odysseus: I'm more of a sports guy, myself

Ok,so hear is my epic headcanon for godgames. I think the reason Aphrodite calls attention to his mother specifically, is caused Aphrodite herself is a mother hurt by Odysseus. Since Odysseus by saking troy, made her own son Anease homeless.
