"Like the generations of leaves, the lives of mortal men. Now the wind scatters the old leaves across the earth, now the living timber bursts with new buds and spring comes round again. And so with men: as one generation comes to life, another dies away."

THE RAGE OF ACHILLES

the ancient greek understanding of the gods is, of course, endlessly fascinating. here were immortal beings of immense power which were each assigned specific duties and areas to rule, and were also part of a large biological family with an ever-expanding and ever-changing lineage. the drama on mount olympis is comparable to your choice of any reality tv show. visceral! achilles is so moody lol
