Status Updates From The Iliad (Penguin Clothbou...

‘Achilles, son of Peleus, again berated Agamemnon with harsh words. His anger was not over yet. He said, “You dog-face! Drunk and heavy with your wine! You have the heart and courage of a deer! You never dare to put your armor on and march to battle with the common troops, or join the finest fighters on a raid. That seems like death to you....”’

This shit is sending me 💀 get em!!!

‘“...So I will go back home to Phthia now, in my curved ships, because that is much better. I will not stay here to be disrespected, serving up wealth and revenue for you!”

And Agamemnon, lord of men, replied, “Then off you go, if that is what you want! I certainly will not be begging you to stay at Troy for me....”’

Me reading the Odyssey: "god I fucking hate Agamemnon, Menelaus and Odysseus"

Me reading the Iliad: "time to see what these fuckers were up to so I can hate them some more!"
