So... Too wounded to return to Troy after his visit to Oenone, Paris dies in the same field where he used to herd sheep...
And sometimes, just sometimes, I wonder if Agelaus was alive, if he made his way through the shepherds, if he picked up his child, his son, from the ground and hugged him...
And sometimes, just sometimes, I wonder if, in his death, Paris simply became Alexander again, the boy who tended sheep, and Agelaus did not see a prince die, but rather the son he raised and loved leave this world
So... Meneparis
That's all. I changed my design of Menelaus a little bit to make it look good, and Paris is just... a bisexual disaster after all

warriors: legends of troy showing that you CAN adapt a fucking good chunk of the trojan war and be good is so important because so many retelling mfs get up their own ass and think they can "fix" the story like bro this shit is already good. and the fact it can fit into a beat em up action game should say something also i dont have them here but the game does have bronze age armor which is so based
hector and paris ngl the game does have a lot of liberties like they make Paris good at fighting so he can be a playable character, but if you're a Paris defender/glazer, you're eating good in this game.
diomedes being not in this game is so fucking funny lmao this game covers so much and diomedes just not being there is wild lolll
so much of this game is dedicated to ajax. they are so peak for making this game more mythologically accurate because theres such a unique feeling of ajax being able to be ajax and being able to play so much of him and his story.
the best Achilles in any game- *gets beaten to death by Hades tm fans
ngl its wild we got a sacking cities simulator here lmao
Hey there!
We're just travelers
We come in peace
Sooooo
Finally... Odysseus's design...
I worked quite a bit while I was drawing it, thinking about exactly what I wanted to see, what I wanted to do with it... I have a Telemachus design, so I didn't have freedom in some things
BUT I'm quite happy with the result... it looks good. It's Odysseus... my Odysseus
There's also a version with that hat...

Making a more proper little collection of all the points of crossover/similarities/references between Dionysos and Paris:
-They share the epithet gunaimanes; the only two to have this epithet, though for Paris translators are only ever translating it as something like "mad for women" while for Dionysos it's turned into "driving women mad". And sure, context is a thing, but I'm not sure one can be that hard-line and simplistic about it, because:
-The beautiful and effeminate “woman-stealer” who drives women mad (or is perhaps mad for them) and lures them away from their homes and proper positions as demure maidens and chaste, married women. Paris might only drive one woman mad compared to Dionysos, but still.
-Dionysos straight up replaces Paris (disguised as him) in Kratinus’ satyr-play Dionysalexandros. -In at least one surviving piece of Judgement-related art (a vase), Dionysos is present (though not to the exclusion of Paris).
-In the late work of Colluthus’ Abduction of Helen, Paris is compared twice to Dionysos, exactly because of his effeminate beauty - even called more beautiful than Dionysos by the narrator in the course of this comparison.
-The prodigal son coming home (though the family doesn't know this at first) as well as the beautiful, effeminate outsider who is a threat to the peace and social order, but who is, also, it turns out, a member of the city's own royal family. Both of them then, more or less eventually, fucks the family up as a consequence of that return.
Woah-

★ — #crackship ;; Zeus × Priamo
– Este dibujo es un pedido que me emocionaba hacer,ya que como saben,en esta cuenta exploramos diversos ships,tanto comunes como poco imaginables.
Cabe aclarar que esto se hace desde la intención de entretener,dentro del respeto a cada figura mitólogica que se represente!!☆
(Estoy orgulloso de como me salió)
Estoy segura de que, en algún sitio, se llama a qué Priamo fue el favorito de Zeus durante su juventud (uno de sus muchos, muchos favoritos)... Idk, tal vez estoy juntando las cosas
