He actually did them to be allowed to get back home.
Yeah
It's really sad
My favourite Greek hero is Odysseus though
How you know I was thinking of him?
*maybe we're the same*
hehehehehe
He was great
While Heracles was named after his "mother", Odysseus was named after...you know.
I love how he handled the cyclops
Brilliant.
I loved the illiad, but the odyssey was much better
He actually once proved to be an expert in debate.
After the Trojian war he found himself in a debate about who would be given the Armor of Archillies. He won.
I feel bad for calypso
Kind of tragic.
She did nothing wrong man
But she'll always be alone
Oh, if you are interested in ancient mythology, I got something for you.
yea?
Like how Athena was originally an earth goddess, ancestor of the gorgons and thus the medusa.
Didn't she make the gorgons?
It differs from story to story.
Some say they were the children of Poseidon.
classic mythology
Or how Perseus was a "goddfrom the east".
or should i say
*classical* mythology
Indeed.
*culturing intensifies*
Athena and Hephaesthus were my favourites among the olympians
Good taste.
Here an aditional funfact: While Athena was prayed as goddess of "windom", she specifially was seens as the goddess of warfare technology.
She was a god of strategy and stuff
So yes, tech too
But I'd expect Warfare technology to be more related to Hephaesthus
The superlong spear called the Sarissa was said to be inspired by her.
Hephaesthus was more in creating known weapons, only a lot better than the rest.
Yea
In which case I got two anime shows that delve deep into mythology, if you are interrested.
