Hello and welcome to this corner of contradictions! I am a proud Greek archeologist and singer who loves mythology and worldbuilding! This page will be dealing with various themes but mostly the collaboration with the amazing @artsofmetamoor and our collaboration for fanart related to the TV series, comic and manga called W.I.T.C.H as well as about millions of AUs related to that!
Aditionally this page is also on occasion dealing with Greek mythos and poetry, particularly the homeric epics (Iliad and Odyssey) and the characters involved at them (with some special emphasis on Odysseus and the people who got related with him)
Some of the stories:

Yes 👀✨ I've looking for inspiration for the exiled lands which is a bit more challenging and this is indeed such a fitting aesthetic ❤️
Oh gosh now this would definitely be a film I would pay to see 😂😂😂 with these 3 it would have everything! Drama, comedy, action just insanity! I wonder if the trip home would be quicker or take double the time 🤣🤣
They would fight to be the captain and at the end settle it by taking turns over rock, paper scissors games, and they would all cheat 😆
Okay now I cannot stop myself imagining what if these three went on a crazy cruise together?!
Like who would rule the ship? Who would be captain? What would the others do? What crazy adventures would they encounter? Would they talk of their wives/lovers non-stop over drinks? Would they kill everyone one sarcastic comment at a time?!
These guys are basically both geniuses and silly potatoes at the same time! You love to hate them and you hate to love them and you follow their every adventures! Incorregible bastards and sweet souls in one package!
Disney, Dreamorks and Greek Mythology, the monster giants of epicness and iconic characters in one hell of a crossover!
Hahaha gosh 😂😂😂😂✨✨✨✨
But it's amazing how touching it was that his emotions convinced her! But at the same time it's so funny he's so stressed and in a rage, and that's what makes her go:
So she spoke, and made trial of her husband. But Odysseus, in a burst of anger, spoke to his true-hearted wife, and said: “Woman, truly this is a bitter word that thou hast spoken. Who has set my bed elsewhere? Hard would it be for one, [185] though never so skilled, unless a god himself should come and easily by his will set it in another place. But of men there is no mortal that lives, be he never so young and strong, who could easily pry it from its place, for a great token is wrought in the fashioned bed, and it was I that built it and none other.
Hom.Od.23.181-189
So everyone loves the moment of recognition between Penelope and Odysseus and how Penelope basically "forces the true Odysseus" come out with her own trick. Many believe that the recognition happens because of the detailed account of how he made the bed and how it was the secret only a few knew but in my opinion this is not 100% true.
Penelope did not recognize her husband because he analyzed their secret; she recognized him because of his reaction.
Odysseus replied "in a burst of anger". He is exaspirated, afraid, worried and surprised. That is the husband she wants to see; the husband who wants nothing else but his home, his roots and his wife. Anyone could reveal to any mortal the secret of her bed; from one of the servants till one of the gods but there is one thing no one can fake;
The GENUINE emotion. Odysseus replied so immediately and so abruptly in such a genuine emotion that left Penelope no doubt yet that this was her husband. Odysseus didn't just ask her how it is possible to move the bed; he asked her in ANGER a genuine exaspiration and disbelief. No actor or god could mimic that genuine emotion. Odysseus spent about half his time in Ithaca hiding his emotions so he would survive. At that moment of the mention of moving the imovable bed his emotions just showed.
The sign she recognized was not the information he gave her it was his heart.
Gosh this sounds terrifying, it's even worse when you take peace and security for granted and were not at all expecting the chaos and horror that unfolds... Waking up to it must be like believing one is having a nightmare you can't escape from... A cold bloody victory for the Greeks tho, such different perspectives!
Fantastic posts about the Iliad and myths girl, and your writings and one shots too ❤️ the one inspired by Pocahontas is both beautiful and emotional in their goodbye 😭❤️ As always amazing job with your writing ✨✨❤️❤️
Penelope and Odysseus are one of the most beautifully tragic and bittersweet couples ever written ❤️ Got take my time going through all of these ✨
What Trojans must have heard that fateful night some time during bronze age, 3000 years ago
I mean imagine they went to sleep thinking they won and the Greeks had left and then they wake up facing hell with houses burning people screaming and the Greeks entering the city killing and capturing and sacking their city that was safe for 10 years!
