Helen and Cassandra (2018)
According to the myths and legends At the fringes of our memory Paris stole the queen of Sparta And carried her across the sea As they fled, he never dreamt That he held the world in his grip Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships
From Mycenae comes Agamemnon And the Greeks of the city-states Laden with their bronzen weapons They're waiting at the Trojan Gates As the arrow flies and Achilles falls Does she raise the wind to her lips? Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships
It's funny how the story lingers It's probably a myth of course A whisper in the ear of Homer Perhaps there never was a horse She could have turned the head of Paris With the gentle sway of her hips Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships
Oh Cassandra, what did you know You who bring bad news wherever you go You had the gift to see the future From Apollo so it's said And he made no one believe you When you would not share his bed Oh Cassandra, what did you see As you walked the lonely road of your certainty Gazing at the ruined city That your warnings could not save
Oh Cassandra, so still and so graveCassandra The Bronze Age kingdoms tumble The cities fade one by one The walls of Mycenae crumble The Dark Age has begun And the truth is lost in the ancient dust Yet the memory forever persists Of Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships

Trojan Horse (2024)
You know what? *removes the tiny little people from inside your wooden horse and ruins the surprise*
headcanon that odysseus and penelope were super competitive when they first met and super in denial about their feelings so them getting married was actually the worlds first game of chicken
hi what the fuck I just realized Odysseus won the Trojan war by hiding in a wooden horse. a HORSE. who created horses, again? can someone remind me? wasn't it POSEIDON?? Poseidon, who is Odysseus' GREATEST ENEMY throughout the odyssey?? ...the creation of his enemy.. helped him win... i needa take a nap
The Isrealis have billions of dollars in their cyberwarfare programs and have had such for decades.
How do you know a so called "Palestinian blogger" is who they say they are?
On one hand you could take a chance on donating to Palistine and it's actually an American scam for Pokemon Cards and Ice Cream,
but it could go twords Israeli "dark funds" used to slaughter children in hopes it will provoke martyr response thereby giving them an excuse to escalate to WW3.
Don't be fucking stupid. Please use the thing on your shoulders to do some research into these people and their associates. I don't even trust the guy I rebloged this post from.
As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
DnD encounter idea
A wooden statue of a soldier with gems for eyes has mysteriously appeared in the party's encampment over night
The word "Najort" carved into it's base
If the statue is broken either by removing the jems or some other method, a herd of aggressive nightmares / hell horses who were bound within it are freed and attack the party
ITS A REVERSE TROJAN HORSE
Instead of a wooden horse containing soldiers it's a wooden soldier containing horses ! And the inscribed word is Trojan backwards.
I just have to figure out how to draw his cape so he doesn't look like some blue jedi
(He would be absolutely terrible jedi btw)
THE LEGENDARY STORY OF THE TROJAN HORSE DOES NOT INVOLVE THE GREEKS GIVING THE HORSE TO THE TROJANS AS A GIFT. THE GREEKS’ DECEPTION WAS ACTUALLY THAT THEY LEFT THE HORSE AS AN OFFERING TO THE GODDESS ATHENA.
IN THE LEGEND, THEY BASICALLY SENT SOMEONE TO TROY TO SAY “THIS HORSE IS FOR ATHENA, NOT YOU, SO OUR RETREAT BACK TO GREECE IS SAFE. DON’T TRY TO TAKE IT. IT WON’T FIT THROUGH THE GATES OF YOUR CITY, SO THERE’S NO WAY YOU DICKS CAN STEAL IT AND PRETEND YOU GOT IT FOR ATHENA. NOT FOR TROJANS.”
AND THEN TROY WAS LIKE “YOU’RE NOT OUR DAD. WE WON THIS WAR AND WE’RE TAKING YOUR STUPID HORSE AS A TROPHY SO WE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW BAD GREECE IS AT DESTROYING TROY.”
AND A FEW TROJANS WERE LIKE “THIS IS A TRICK” AND TRIED TO EXPOSE IT AS A TRICK BUT THE REST OF THE TROJANS WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS SWEPT UP IN THE THRILL OF VICTORY, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE GODS KEPT SENDING SNAKES TO STRANGLE ANYONE WHO SAID ANYTHING, BECAUSE THE GREEK GODS HAD NO WORD FOR “SUBTLETY”
THEN AT NIGHT ALL THE GREEKS JUMPED OUT OF THE HORSE LIKE “WE TOLD YOU NOT TO TAKE THE HORSE, WHY ARE YOU SUCH PRIDEFUL DICKS” AND BURNED DOWN THE WHOLE CITY
