Did you know that Antilochus was among Helen's suitors?
peleus: my son cannot be a suitor. he is only 6. far too young.
meanwhile nestor: [presenting helen with what can only be described as a fresh out the womb baby] a great husband, no? a real charmer.

Norse mythology from A to Z:
[N] - Njörðr is a god associated with the sea, seafaring, wind, fishing, wealth, and crop fertility.
Apollo: Hyacinthus, it's cold outside. Let's hold hands. Hyacinthus: Oh okay! Zephyrus: it's fucking summer-
Greek mythology from A to Z:
[I] - Icarus was the son of the famous craftsman Daedalus.
Daedalus managed to create two sets of wings for himself and his son, that were made of feathers glued together with wax. He taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too high, which would cause the wax to melt, nor too low, which would cause the feathers to get wet with sea water. Together, they flew out of the tower towards freedom. However, Icarus soon forgot his father’s warnings, and started flying higher and higher, until the wax started melting under the scorching sun. His wings dissolved and he fell into the sea and drowned.
How can I explain to you, my happiness, my golden, wonderful happiness, how much I am all yours – with all my memories, poems, outbursts, inner whirlwinds? Or explain that I cannot write a word without hearing how you will pronounce it – and can’t recall a single trifle I’ve lived through without regret – so sharp! – that we haven’t lived through it together – whether it’s the most, the most personal, intransmissible – or only some sunset or other at the bend of a road – you see what I mean, my happiness?
