any ancient author: *uses a simile*

commentary: hmmm it’s giving Homer 💅

The people who write commentaries on classical texts are all like:

Guy who has only ever read the iliad and odyssey: getting a lot of iliad/odyssey vibes from this

pretty homer covers go brr

the homeric question should no longer be "who was homer, anyway?" the only homeric question that matters to me is "how the fuck did i get so many copies of the iliad and odyssey"

#is it really an addiction if they spark joy #yes but that’s not the point

so when monks draw in manuscripts it’s “illuminated” and a “work of art”, but when i do it i’m “vandalising artefacts” and “going to prison”

the only person who i trust 100% is Homer. if he says something i can and WILL take it at face value and i don’t think he would ever lie to me

in this essay i will…

#the definition of a reliable narrator #i think he tells me all there is to know about the events in the iliad and odyssey #he wouldn’t leave anything out #and he tells me when people think a different thing from what they say and therefore i put all of my trust in him #ancient greece #greek mythology #tagamemnon #the iliad #the odyssey #epic #greek #roman #rome #the song of achilles #homer #homeric greek #iliad #odyssey

Patroclus: Achilles come down?? ha! more like Achilles calm down

Achilles, sulking in his tent: shut up

Achilles: fuck you!!! how dare you take away Briseis, you self entitled idiot!!!! you absolute buffoon!

Agamemnon, an empath: hmm i feel like he’s mad at me but i can’t quite figure out why….

#odysseus shakes his head disapprovingly in the background #what an empath #ancient greece #greek mythology #tagamemnon #the iliad #the odyssey #greek #roman #rome #the song of achilles #iliad memes #epic #achilles #agamemnon #i’m a certified avid agamemnon hater
