Ajax The Greater - Tumblr Posts

....i know. I know.

Patrochilles: -exists-

Me and at least 173 other people in the TSOA tags:

Someone should write something where it's the Greek heroes from the Iliad watching odysseus during the odyssey from the afterlife. like achilles and company just being like yea fuck that guy up man. u got that. or he's crying over missing penelope and telemachus and they just feel bad for him or smth.

could also be them all listening/watching the epic songs/animatics 🦭

(even tho a lot of them don't die it's a fun idea in theory)

Hey can we talk for a second how genuinely funny the beginning of Ajax (the play) is??

I can literally see Odysseus flinching and going "oh shit" when Athena calls him. It's like when your mom calls you by your full name and you think of every single thing you've ever done that might have gotten you in trouble

Sucking up to mom. Trying to win her mercy with flattery.

Odysseus literally shits himself and Athena has to reassure him.

Odysseus is sweating and Athena is trying so hard not to grin or laugh.

Once again, Athena is like a pissed off mom who just decided to say "I'm counting to three." Alarms blare.

They want to meet Hades sooner than later.

Teucer: You know you can die from that, right? Patroclus: *smoking a cigarette* That's the point. Ajax: *drinking alcohol* We're trying to hurry this up. Achilles: *Eating raw cookie dough and nodding*

So I read ajax, and it kinda felt like

Odysseus hates Ajax and Ajax hates Odysseus

Menelaus hates Ajax because he's into Ody and Ody hates him

Agamennone hates Ajax because Menelaus hates him

Ajax hates Ajax

But Teucer is a pretty boy that doesn't give a fuck about other people's opinion✨️

Are those real lines from troilus and cressida?
