Well…at Least He Cares For His Son :D

I had the book so I just took a picture

(sorry that the quality is bad)

I've been meaning to read the Illiad and the Odyssey for ages but keep putting it off cause I've heard they're hard reads/written kinda complicated. I was just wondering if the version you have is an easier read? What's the writing style like?

I would say it is a slightly easier read than some of the ones I’ve read in the past! Emily Wilson’s are structured into a more poem/verse type story, and since they are newer translations I would say they have the advantage of more so modern language?

These are pictures of the first page of two of my versions of the Odyssey! The first is the Emily Wilson Translation (2018) and the second is Samuel Butler (1900)

And this one is one from the first page of Emily Wilson’s Iliad (2023) (I don’t have another to compare it to sadly)

Overall I greatly enjoy her translations! I’m not done reading her Iliad yet, but so far it is turning out to be really good!!!

Personal Epic HC

After ya know, Eurylochus' death, Ody was the one using his big-ass sword, like he keeps Polites' headband. So, not only does he lug around a sword his size, he also gets to fight Poseidon with Eury, his brother-in-law's sword. And he also should be able to give it to Ctimene, his sister, and Eury's wife.

So is there any way to get an account banned??? Because if there is we should do that to that account that bases their entire page on stealing and whitewashing all Annabeth fanart. I think it’s called notmyannabeth or something like that. In no way should anyone who does that be allowed to have a platform

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

wait, so if Telemachus says yes I can marry him?

girl has “no we can’t share him” but you are already sharing him with another Circe and a son of Gaea

I didn’t know of the child of Gaea situation until it was already out of my control, and the other circe is still me. And thats what Telemachus wanted to do. If he’s okay with it im all for it. Also, your explanation wasn’t grammatically correct, anon.

I USED TO HAVE THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON HIM (after Tobias, ofc)
