“Who knows about Ithaca? Who will remember Odysseus?”

“Probably no one. The clever ones are always forgotten.”

Well, that’s very much wrong 👀😂

“I don’t, really. I just think she should be more careful. Other men wouldn’t approve.”

“And do you approve?”

He sits back in his chair, leaning on the carved arm. “Young men often lie with their companions,” he says. “Why shouldn’t women do the same?”

Odyyyyyy 🥰🥰🥰

„It is you, Penelope,“ he says. As he says her name, his voice is warmer for a second, soft. „I wish to marry you.“

„You wish to marry me, yet you came here to court another woman?“

„I never intended to marry Helen. I did not even bring a gift and did not think I stood a chance.“

Don’t care which book, which retelling, I will always love ody and his Penelope and how he’s such a simp 😂

„For all the resentments, for all the wounds they have inflicted on one another, for all the jostling for power and hatred they nurture, the gods of Olympus gather as a family over the Argonauts.“

Wow, as a family who watches others making sacrifices and having to survive the most awful things even though I hate Jason, thanks for nothing, gods

„When it’s over, the broken bodies of his wife and children lie in the ruins of their home. The soft light of morning clears the mist from his eyes, and he sees what he has done.“

Yeah so that’s why I will never like you, why do they have to suffer just so you can beat Zeus?

„You know how powerful Zeus is, how hard it is to escape.“

„She does know that, from bitter experience but it doesn’t change how she feels. It does nothing to dampen her anger of the two sisters, only one of them is a threat to her.“

I understand the rage but why toward all these women, goddesses, nymphs and titanesses? Only Zeus deserves your anger, not his victims

„And a key tenet of marriage is that the wife obeys her husband.“

can someone tell Zeus of Dylan Sprouse‘s quote; „happy wife, happy life“ that’s how it is, you rapist son of a bitch, at the end of the book I will hate Zeus even more than before and I thought that’s not even possible

„She’s pinned beneath his body, the weight of him crushing her lungs and still she is sure he will stop.“

Can all those gods something other than rape??? Wtf is wrong with you?

„And even if he is bewitched by Hera herself, even if she makes him gleam golden as he crawls towards me, even if Aphrodite appears beside him to make me love him more than I already have, I will say no. You could not be trusted with my love, Jason. You will never have it again.“

YES EXACTLY, you tell him Medea!

„The pain looks at him and he looks away. You are marrying her, I said. It has everything to do with us, we are your family, I am your wife.“

„You won’t stop being my family just because I am married to someone else, he said.“

OH IF JASON DOESNT HAVE HATERS IDK WHO WOULD
You son of a bitch and that’s accurate cause you’re mom was a cunt just like you are one

„I am glad he is dead.“

It is the last thing she will ever say to him.


Yk Thetis? Just fuck off already, really no one likes you and I feel already sorry for achilles‘s kid

„I could barely watch these girls as they stumbled into camp to be parceled off. I sent Achilles out to ask for them, to seek as many as he could, and the men teased him about his voraciousness, his endless priapism.“

Patroclus 😭😭

„If you are truly his friend, you will help him leave this soft heart behind. He’s going to Troy to kill men, not rescue them.“

Oh Ody, let’s just go back where you spoke about Penelope

„I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth.
I would know him in death, at the end of the world.“

Already crying 🥲
Can someone kill the mom please? I don’t care if this will change, what she did is unforgivable

„As I ran, I promised myself that if I ever saw him again, I would keep my thoughts behind my eyes.
I had learned, now, what it would cost me if I did not.“

Baby boy, honey bee :((

„This was meant for me. Not for my poor brother Titus - if that was ever really his name. He deserved better than this.“

Fuck that, He deserved worse than this, he was a murderer & a fkn rapist

„If she couldn’t count on her proposals she couldn’t count on him, then she’d have to finish things herself. She had the only ally she needed - a god that could bury countries and if Kitay tried to deny her that, then she’d just have to break him.“

Girl wtf? You are not someone’s savior, you’re just another tyrant and you’re people have to suffer because of it

„She’d been so terribly wrong. There was no appeasing him. She couldn’t beg an alliance from someone who didn’t think her human.“

WELL ITS NOT LIKE LITERALLY EVERYONE SAID SO

„They built dirigibles. Not only can they fly, they’ve been flying for decades and here we are with only a rudimentary knowledge of seafaring because we bombed our own navies to bits in civil wars over nothing. Why?“

This still doesn’t mean they are biologically superior, it just means their people evolve through science and not endless war‘s

„They’re never gone. Do you understand? They still come for you in your sleep. Only this time they’re dream-wraiths, not real and there’s no escape from them because they’re living in your own mind.“

I hate how true this is and can someone give this girl the biggest hug?

„Permission? Who the fuck needs permission-„

„You always need permission. Every time you bring a fight to a village, you put every innocent civilian’s life in danger. It’s your obligation to warn them.“

She really should’ve met him first and not Altan

„They’re just kids. A quarter of them are younger than we are and they didn’t sign up for this war. Most of them were pulled from their homes and thrown into vicious training camps so that their families wouldn’t go to prison or starve. They don’t want to kill, they just want to go home.“

Kids should never forced to be soldiers instead of just kids 🫠

„Maybe they didn’t have the choice. They weren’t trained soldiers. They weren’t shamans. How else were they going to survive?“

„You think that because they raped me, I’m never going to go back to normal.“

„Meimei. Come on.“

Meimei. Little Sister.
