Designs I’ve seen for Hermes so far:
- otherworldly being radiating power and energy, a form of something no longer a human but an outside shell for what it truly is
- disco man
- whore
Eurylochus really hit him with the “But we’ll die 🥺” after everything he did. Love him for that.
paris: haha i just shot you diomedes!!
diomedes:
diomedes: what the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? i’ll have you know i graduated top of my class in the sack of thebes, and i been involved in numerous secret raids on the thracian forces, and i have over 300 confirmed kills. i am trained in gorilla warfare and i am the top spearman in the entire achaean army. you are nothing to me but just another target. i will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this earth, mark my fucking words. you think you can get away with saying that shit to me on the battlefield? think again, fucker. as we speak i am contacting my secret network of spies across the troad and your face is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. the storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. you’re fucking dead, kid. i can be anywhere, anytime, and i can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. not only am i extensively trained in unarmed combat, but i have access to the entire arsenal of the achaean army and i will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of this plain, you little shit. if only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. but you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. i will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. you’re fucking dead, kiddo.
don’t get me wrong, i love patroclus/achilles as a relationship, but the gayest part of the iliad to me will forever be at the end of book 10 when diomedes and odysseus return from the night raid, take a bath together, and then spend an entire line just….rubbing oil into themselves
that fake uncited article that claimed odysseus was said to have hetrochromia in antiquity (he was not) led me down a rabbit hole of attempting to find any source on odysseus' eye color at all, only to discover there is none, which i find utterly hilarious given the repeated descriptions of his physical appearance. homer said "don't ask me the color of nothing he has MASSIVE TITS and THUNDER THIGHS. ive never looked him in the eyes in my life"
