Skillet Greek Chicken Potatoes LeaveBlandBehind
i want to see an adaptation of the iliad that accurately portrays achilles’ grief over the death of patroclus.
i don’t want to see achilles act out in anger and violence as he realizes that patroclus died in his armor.
i don’t want to see achilles remain stoic and emotionless as he carries patroclus’ body back to camp.
show me achilles collapse to the ground when he hears the news. show me achilles sob so loudly that his mother on the bottom of the sea hears him and thinks him dead. show me how another warrior must hold down achilles’ hands so that he does not cut open his own throat to join patroclus in death.
show me achilles carrying back patroclus’ body and sobbing into his chest. show me achilles refusing to leave patroclus’ side to eat or sleep because he can do nothing but cry. show me how achilles looks his mother in the eye and say how he no longer cares if he dies when only a few days prior he said that nothing is worth his life.
i want to see achilles, the most powerful warrior of the greeks, to be completely undone by grief.
“Why have you come to me here, dear heart, with all these instructions? I promise you I will do everything just as you ask. But come closer. Let us give in to grief, however briefly, in each other’s arms.” - Homer

Quote from Ophelia's official wiki :
"Mother: Nymph
Mother relationship: Currently Ophelia and her mother are ready distansed and they see each other not so often. But in her early years Ophelia was demonstrating unhealthy obsessive behaviour to her mother, where she wouldn't let her speak to the people Ophelia didn't approve. Since her mother was really naive back then, Ophelia was convinced that she was the only person who knew what's best for her."
And here's another colored sketch of Persephone,because I love her and I love how she's portraited in "Lore Olympus" by @usedbandaid
