Besides training all the major Greek heroes, Chiron was also a doctor.

there’s a lot of evidence that the iliad and the odyssey were actually composed by a variety of poets through an oral tradition rather than just by one poet, so what if the homeric texts are actually just a very long game of D&D

homer, the dm: okay achilles, agamemnon has just taken away your war prize, what do you want to do achilles’ player: i roll to have a diplomatic conversation with agamemnon achilles’ player: *rolls a 1* homer: you throw the staff of speaking at agamemnon’s face and storm off to sulk with your boyfriend

Homer, the DM: Your beautiful Patroclus is dead. What do you do? Achilles’ player: I fight everyone. Homer, the DM: You can’t fight everyone. How would you even– Achilles’ player: *rolls a 20* I fight everyone. Homer, the DM: *sighs* Fine. You cut a path through the Trojan army, enemy dead strewn in your wake. Achilles’ player: How many? Homer, the DM: …lots. Enough to clog the friggin’ river with bodies. Achilles’ player: I fight the river. Homer, the DM: You. can. not. fight. the. river. Achilles’ player: *reaches for dice*

Homer, the DM: Okay guys, so the war’s over, you had a bunch of losses but you won in the end. Time to go home, let’s roll to see who gets there firs—

Odysseus’s player: I got a critical failure.

Homer, the DM; “Ok seriously guys they’re not going to fall for the giant horse.”

Odysseus’ player; “I just rolled a nat 20 on my deception check.”

Homer, the DM; “What the fuck.”

Paris’s player: I’mma shoot Achilles

Achilles’ player: Dude, immortal? You want a dictionary to look it up?

Paris’ player: *looks Achilles’ player dead in the eye* I’m going to shoot him in the heel.

Achilles’ player: Are you serious? Tell me you aren’t serious? You’re going to shoot the one inch of non-immortal me?

Homer, the DM: Hey, it’s his roll he’s wasting.

Paris’s player: *smugly rolls and to everyone’s surprise including his own, rolls a natural 20*

Homer, the DM: Well, shit.

I fell for her like Troy fell to the Greeks; quickly, and in the most embarrassing way imaginable.

I fell for her like Troy fell to the Greeks; *after ten years and thousands of casualties

How do you kill a God?

Aphrodite laughs, head tossed back with stars in her hair, ‘We are immortal. We are ageless. We will never die.’ 

How do you kill a God?

Hera sighs, ‘You rob them of love and loyalty. They will be alone and unhappy, and eternity will seem like a punishment, but it is not death.’ 

How do you kill a God?

Zeus declares, rather confidently, ‘You deny them their power. Poseidon nods his head in agreement. ‘They will be weak and defeated, perhaps even chopped up into pieces, but it is not death.’ 

How do you kill a God?

Apollo closes his eyes. ‘You strip them of their senses. Their eyes, and they cease to see. Their ears, and they are rendered silent. They will be in the dark, conscious and cut off for millennium, but it is not death.’

How do you kill a God?

Hades whispers, though still his voice carries, ‘With another God. An immortal for an immortal. Era for an Era. A celestial being to strip another’s soul. He pauses, the rest are silent. ‘A God for a God.’

L.H.Z // How do you kill a God?

Achilles: The Trojan War is homophobic

Patroclus: how?

Achilles: I’m gay and it’s inconveniencing me

imagine a modern au where achilles is such a drama queen and he’s always making these grand bold declarations of love and devotion which after a while just leaves patroclus rolling his eyes like

“i dont need you to die or kill for me i just need you to do the dishes”
