Hi! I’m Here To Inform That This Is A Demoiselle Crane, Or “Grus Virgo”. They All Slay That Hard

There are so many books I want to read, but alas, I am SO BUSY.

My current goal for art is to try and figure out how to properly draw men. When the day comes that I unlock that skill, I can finally draw Odysseus King of Ithaka and no one will be able to stop the next step of my brain decomposition. I don’t have a name for it yet but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it

Seriously if anyone has tips for actually drawing men please let me know-

Odysseus for the entirety of the Iliad and Odyssey.

Good theory👍

So

A friend mentioned to me that Poseidon's trumpets mimic Ares' instrument in 600 strike and that Ares might have blessed Ody in the moment (Shout-out @dysphanic-redshift) and asked me why I thought that might be

In the myths, as far as I remember, Ctimene is a Warrior of Ares, while Ody is Athena's Warrior. Since Ody was so close to being reunited with Ctimene, knowing Ares, there was no way Ares was going to let Poseidon interrupt the reunion of his Warrior and his sister's warrior, hence the blessing

Patroclus’ shade singing a soft and comforting song to the mourning Achilles.

When Patroclus fights Hector in Achilles’ armor we hear Achilles’ musical motif instead because Pat is in disguise.

A song for Odysseus where he schemes up the Trojan horse and we hear his motif in the background kinda like in the sacking of Troy in Epic.

You could probably call it “Ilia” since that’s what the acheans call Troy.

I see your vision and I will help expand it. Someone get Jorge lol

with epic wrapping up, I've been thinking that it'd be pretty cool if Jay made a musical about the Iliad.

No idea what it'd be called but I think it'd be cool.

It'd also be cool get God Games 2.0 where Hera beats the crap out or Artemis with her own bow, along with the other stuff the Iliad has to offer.

We could also add Polites and Eurylochus to get a feel for what their time fighting was like. Along with maybe some Achilles/Patroclus, Cassandra, the dynamics between Agamemnon and Menelaus and Hector and Paris, Helen and Menelaus' reunion, etc.

And once that musical wraps up if could lead into Horse and The Infant

Do y'all see my vision-

Late night post: does anyone actually have recommendations on how to draw men? They seem to elude me which is kind of awful. It doesn’t help that I also want to draw Odysseus more.

Our tactful, guileful man, ladies and gents

tbh my favourite quality about Odysseus towards the end of the Odyssey is that he'll swear to be honest and immediately spit out two pages of nothing but lies about who he is and where he comes from and whose son he is and how he's suffered terribly to get where he is now

compare that to him giving polyphemus his full name, his postal address, his social security number, and his birth certificate in earlier chapters

that's what we call ✨personal growth✨
