If I Knew How To Draw Abhorrent Posture I Would Draw This - Tumblr Posts

So I know everyone likes Odysseus to be a short king, and I also like to think of him that way...

But have you considered: Odysseus with absolute dogshit posture? Odysseus who cocks his hip and curves his shoulders in and ducks his head, because it makes him smaller. More unassuming. Less of a threat and more of just a nice guy, someone to trust, someone who smiles up at you and laughs at your jokes and - he's stolen your armour. Fuck.

Odysseus who is used to strong winds and rocky cliffsides, needing to duck and bend his knees to be stable. Odysseus the mountain ram. Odysseus, favored of Pallas Athene, who knows the lower your center of balance when wielding a weapon the harder you are to topple. Odysseus who tilts his head down from the glare of the sun and grins a too wide grin.

Odysseus the trickster who uses his body like he uses his words: to his advantage.
