Turnus and Lavinia

ANYWAYYYY EURYLOCHUS OF SAME THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOUUU ❤️❤️❤️❤️

OH OH RIGHT AND THE STUPID WIND BAG ARGUMENT.
1. magic influence lmao
2. odysseus, who is Known for being shifty and disloyal in the trojan war, has a bag he is not even letting his second in command look at to the detriment of his own health.
probs thought odysseus was cursed or sm shit TBH

1. keep his crew alive through divine storms that were not going to let up, watch them starve to death
2. sacrifice himself for a chance the gods would only take him, and if not, give them quick deaths at least.

ITS NOT LIKE YOU CAN *DO* ANYTHING OTHER THAN LEAVE. of course youd think your brother in law is off his rocker. and with the cattle thing i trulyyyy do not think it was just hunger. like, in the odyssey they had run out of all other food. so eurylochus's options were (2/?)

like. i'm sorry. if you're genuinely mad at him for the circe shit PLEASE tell me what the hell *you'd* have done. you have no magic. you are in charge of the lives of several hundred men who also DO NOT HAVE MAGIC. you cannot rely on divine intervention because the gods hate your captain. (1/?)

LAYING IN BED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN NIGHT ASTOUNDED AT HOW ANYONE HATES EURYLOCHUS AGAIN

OUGJHG UGH YEAHH. GOD BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF TIMES IN BOOK 1 HE SAYS HE WANTS TO DIE IN TROY? so much so some other guy had to come give a more normal speech after

ughhhhhh i hate aeneas but thinking about him between the iliad and book 4 of the aeneid just makes me SADDDD.

DANGEROUSLY close to making an aeneid pinterest board. remembered my attachment to pre-aenied aeneas......

A digital painting of a Dungeons and Dragons firbolg named Sea. He is blue, has golden eyes, and white hair in a ponytail, with two strands tucked behind his ears and two strands framing his face. His right hand is giving a peace sign and blocks his mouth from view. His left hand is holding a sword. He's wearing a sailor's top with a ocean-patterned trim and black leather pants. He has a telescope attached to a leather holster on his leg. White scribbles on top of the image say "SEA," have emphasis lines near Sea's face, and a star in the bottom right corner.

highschool latin class has damaged my vocab permanently. when we first learned about the aeneid we used "cave time" as a euphemism for sex bc of aeneas and dido. and a friend of mine, unaware of this, just said "got back from cave time !" and my FIRST thought was "damn, in the middle of the day?"

i might not particularly like udad but i am a sucker for characters w npd. oh narcissus we're really in it now

THE AENEID IS LIKE. aeneas is achilles and was once hector. turnus is hector and achilles. turnus isnt aeneas. cassandra is amata and amata is hecuba but amata is agave and lavinia is polyxena but turnus is pentheus.

YES YES EXACTLYYY. i love putting interps like that side by side bc i feel like if u take one w/o the other u just get like. one side of the character
