Spare The TikTok Memes Bastet He Just Woke Up

My favorite parts of the Iliad now that I’ve finished it for the first time:

Odysseus running around beating people with a scepter (and the amount of joy he got from it)

Agamemnon prematurely mourning Menelaus, who is standing right next to him.

Zeus telling Ares he hates him the most of all his children. God damn. He really did just say that to his face didn’t he.

Diomedes being a force of nature on the battlefield

Diomedes being a force of nature on the battlefield and everyone still treating him like he’s their annoying little brother who they unfortunately sometimes have to kind of listen to.

Diomedes.

“What are you talking about?” I laughed out loud multiple times because of this line. I don’t know what it is, but every single time it’s said I just imagine the most baffled/annoyed expression and tone of voice on whoever was saying it and I just. Lose it every time.

Helen being extremely passive aggressive the entire time she’s on the page. Seriously love her.

Helen believing her brothers didn’t come to war because they were ashamed of her, not knowing they have been dead for some time. It hurts and I love it.

Odysseus and Diomedes being sent on a spy mission and deciding that, after getting information from the Trojan spy, they are going to go to their camp and steal some horses. (And a chariot. And some armor, I think???) Utter chaos. They did not have to do this. This was A Choice.

Them coming back after stealing said horses and NOT A SINGLE PERSON QUESTIONS IT. IMPLYING THIS IS A NORMAL THING FOR THEM. AND THEY JUST,,,,,REGULARLY DO SHIT LIKE THIS.

Athena helping them.

The Trojans being annoyed with Paris

Nestor kicking Diomedes awake, who is, for some fucking reason, sleeping on the ground (?????)

Nestor.

Nestor going on long winded rants about His Day and his exploits. And everyone just kinda has to sit and listen to him talk.

Poseidon causing an earthquake so extreme Hades worried he was going to expose the underworld.

Artemis calling Apollo a baby for not wanting to fight Poseidon

Apollo ignoring her entirely. Peak sibling energy.

Achilles calling Patroclus’ ghost “true heart.” I know what you are.

Athena helping Diomedes in the funeral games.

Athena getting so mad Apollo made Diomedes drop his whip during said games she sabotaged Eumelus and made Diomedes’ horses run faster.

Antilochus threatening his horses into running faster.

This working.

Odysseus and Ajax wrestling and being so evenly matched that everyone gets tired of watching.

When they get up for round three Achilles telling them to “put not eachother further to such cruel suffering.”

The idea that Achilles was so sick of watching them that he compares it to actively being in pain.

Odysseus praying to Athena for help when he’s loosing the footrace.

Athena actually helping him.

Athena sabotaging Ajax and making him slip and fall face first into dung.

Ajax saying Athena hovers over Odysseus like his mother. Everyone finds this hilarious. Odysseus does not disagree.

Diomedes continually aiming at Ajax’s neck while fighting for a sword and armor. They are stopped by the rest of the Achaeans in fear for Ajax’s safety.

Yea, I’m convinced the Iliad is a comagedy. A comedic tragedy. A tragic comedy?

No one looking at the damn food

I think it's my time to say that we were absolutely ROBBED THE FUCK OFF Set cookie. Or whatever flavor he was supposed to be I forgot.

He's got special hair ladies. Somehow, they figured out how to tame his hair a bit.

Sets also catching up on the current gossip. Gotta know what those dang birds have been up too....

¿por que te vas? / por que te vas...

i'd like to imagine nephthys as being quite jealous. you can't really tell she is because she hides her feelings quite well, but if you ever bring up seth to her, nephthys' lips twitch. she has loved him ever since the day they were born—it was this pull towards him that made her heart flutter, as though they were soulmates. she's not as forward as isis is, and she gets flustered quite easily, so she has never had the strength to tell seth her true feelings. seth has always seen her as his little sister, one that needs protection, but he knows she's just as capable of taking care of herself. sometimes nephthys acts pathetic because she wants seth's attention, even if it makes a fool out of herself.

seth has never really harbored feelings for anyone. he's like the desert sand, as free to come and go as he pleases. nephthys wants to grab ahold of that sand and anchor him, tether herself to him, but seth slips easily through her fingertips. he isn't actively looking to slight nephthys or her feelings, no—it's just how he is. for a long time, nephthys has accepted that. if nobody can have seth, then that means he's free for the taking indefinitely.

then horus (the elder) comes onto the scene. he feels the same way about seth—this tug towards the god that makes nephthys feel uneasy. she banks on seth's ability to not give a damn; his freedom means her success. but just like she is forever interwined with isis, horus is with seth. from the shadows she watches in horror as horus easily wins him over, feeling nauseated. so many thoughts run in her mind: if only she had confessed to him first, if only she had made her move, if only she had been what seth had needed and wanted, if, if, if... she wants to scream in frustration—horus is the one who grounds him, not her. why him?! she's the goddess of peace, the one meant to quell seth! not the king, his supposed nemesis!

it's only when horus and seth fall out she seizes her chance. she's grown smarter over the years of seth's absence; more cunning, though not as flashy as her sister. watching horus and seth interact with each other makes her have a good idea of what he likes and dislikes, and she's ready to be the perfect spouse for seth. she will take care of him, lavish him, and show him the depths of her feelings. then, maybe then, seth can fall head over heels for her too.

obviously, seth is hesitant. his heart has been broken and shattered into a million pieces, but here nephthys is picking up the peaces methodically. she shows him how he's supposed to be loved, how much she loves him. it's a slow, tedious process, and given enough time seth slowly warms up to her. nephthys can pretend to be happy—after all, he's her husband now. nobody can take him away from her. they even have a cute little baby together! but despite it all, she senses his apprehension. nephthys is second to that damn horus, and always will be. it will only take her brother appearing back into seth's life for his resolve to waver, and he'll crawl back to him in an instant. the worst part is that horus will accept seth back with opens arms, as if their separation was just a little lover's quarrel.

nephthys will make sure that won't ever happen, not under her watch. seth is hers—forever.

Uhh art summary

Drew them like that in purely theurapetical purposes

Not a lot of symbolism there but still
