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?

There is an anime that delves into the origins of ancient gods.

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.

For some reason the issue of oddessey I had called Odysseus as Ullysus

All the other names were accurate
