i, personally, would like to calm down, and yet

Pour one out for #the thebaid.

read thru diomedes' wiki page today and these two are so funny to me

"cool character I guess..." I mutter, walking away with a suspiciously character shaped lump in my throat

Love sketching Odysseus recoiling from anybody but his wife

aeneas makes me crazy dude. he never cared for the future of rome. all he ever wanted was in troy. people kept trying to tell him "its gonna be okay youre gonna make rome" and he went along with it because it was keeping the last things he had of troy alive. he sailed to so many places looking for a place that was safe to call home. no one would take them. he found other trojans, even! and his cousin (helenus) looked him in the eyes and said "you need to go to a land we aren't even sure exists". other trojans wouldn't take them. when he tried to assimilate in carthage, a safe place for his people and for Didos, the gods forced him to leave the person he'd fallen in love with in the most violent and horrible way possible. despite his best efforts troy is slipping from his hands. its been gone the day his fleet left the shore.

aeneas can't be human. he has to be a vessel for the gods exact, contradictory wills at all times or else the last people he has of his home will die. aeneas was named terrible grief for the grief he cause venus by being mortal, but it fits more the grief the gods have caused him. the gods willed him to be born. the gods started the war that destroyed his home, that killed his cousins. the gods turned him away from his fellow trojans. the gods forced him to break the heart of the woman he loved and the only other person hed met that somewhat understood. the gods forced him to war a second time.

aeneas grieves the life he couldve had had he just been a man. aeneas grieves himself who died in troy

you guys literally dont get it. hes a RULE FOLLOWER, he CARES about his MEN, hes a BRILLIANT STRATEGIST, hes an AWFUL HUSBAND, hes a KILLING MACHINE. but its all trumped by the fact that he is his father's son. anything, GOOD OR BAD that he is will always be trumped by the fact that hes his father's son. ALWAYS tydides NEVER diomedes.

Kissing my native soil under my feet. Home at last! There is sand in my teeth

Stayed up nine days just to reach my homeland and the minute I fell asleep my wretched crew opened the wind bag . We all should have died at Troy
