So How 'bout Those Trailers. OMG.

When I saw this picture, I knew I had to draw it with Hektor and Andromache, it's perfect for them~

i'm sorry (not) to people who know me irl

Yet think, a day will come, when fate's decree And angry gods shall wreak this wrong on thee; Phoebus and Paris shall avenge my fate, And stretch thee here before the Scaean gate.

I just think they’re neat

stand on the axe blade of light and dark

what Aeneas saw when he wake up, received the fire of Vesta.

Hey friend,

Just curious about some greek retellings you like? I tried to get through 'Clytemnestra' by constaza casti but even the first few chapters felt so anachronistic and out of character I returned the book.

i love till we have faces by c.s. lewis. not encouraging to me that no one** has come up with anything better in that vein (that is, "more or less straightforward retelling from an overlooked female character's perspective") since a white english man in the 50s.

**no one i've READ YET, i should say

but if you step away from the formula of narrative fiction, there's good stuff! denis o'hare and lisa peterson's "an iliad" and derek walcott's "the odyssey" are both interesting plays. of course, my beloved hadestown. alice oswald's poems "memorial" (drawn from the iliad) and "nobody" (drawing much more loosely on the odyssey) are [kisses fingers]. in louise glück's poetry collection meadowlands, she uses the odyssey throughout as a way of exploring marriage and parenthood; it's excellent. the lost books of the odyssey is a short story collection by zachary mason; like most short story collections, i found it very mixed, but it has a few stories i've returned to again and again.

They're talking about horse riding

The Trojan prince Troilus brings his horse to a fountain to drink, while Achilles (to the left; not visible) lurks in ambush.  Detail from an Etruscan red-figure stamnos, part of a pair known as the “Fould stamnoi”.  Artist unknown; ca. 300 BCE.  From Vulci; now in the Louvre.
