Helen is so badass saying this to a goddess
"you go and agonize over Paris, go and pamper him, and one day he may make you his wife—or his concubine.”
So mad at Aphrodite as she knows how bad forced marriages can be and still puts Helen through it. Proud of Helen for speaking up. Shame on Paris for not having enough honour to give Helen up. Menelaus won fair and square. Besides, Helen wants to go back to him.

“You sex-crazed seducer, you should never have been born, or married.”

Why did they randomly start yapping about contigents 😭

Why did Odysseus have to intervene on Agamemnon's plans to return home rather than Menelaus. 1. It's his wife. 2. Why did no one else remember the prophesy? 😭

Odysseus really likes to hit people Also "let my head be parted from my shoulders" is such a weird way to put it lol

Why is Agamemnon retreating like a coward rather than accepting they need Achilles 😮‍💨

Zeus can't sleep so he disturbs Agamemnon's sleep. That's chill ig.

It's strange that Zeus calls the Greeks 'long-haired'. Does that mean being long haired was the norm in Ancient Greece? It's interesting to see that there actually were less stereotypes in Ancient Greece (as both men and women could cry as much as they please and wear their hair whatever way they want) to my understanding.

I hate Agamemnon but Achilles is really selfish to ask his mom to ask Zeus to let the Trojans win. Like you don't mind your comrades dying just for the sake of your own glory? It's not just Agamemnon, it's everyone who believes in you, everyone wishing to go home as quickly as possible. It's everyone
