Look is no one else gonna make a big deal about the fact that in the middle of battle Achilles’ horses stopped in their tracks and started crying over the death of Patroclus? And refused to move despite Automedon begging them and whipping them to try to get them off the field until they were literally compelled to move by Zeus himself?? Because I can’t stop thinking about it.
*talking about Achilles*
Patroclus: *dreamily* I always saw him as like a kind of funny little man
Automedon: he’s a fucking criminal Patroclus.
I keep thinking about the suggestion that Apollo hated Achilles so much because Achilles was literally just like him but mortal (blond, musical, good with a sword, talented at medicine) and he just didn't care for that.
Achilles: Can you see us on the mountain?
Thetis: No. Why do you ask?
Achilles: No. Reason.
*later at the mountain*
Achilles: SHE COULDNT SEE US. FOR THREE YEARS.
Patroclus: Oh?
Achilles: FOR THREE YEARS. SHE COULDN'T SEE US. FOR. THREE. YEARS.
Patroclus: Mhm.
Achilles: THREE. YEARS.
Patroclus: Mhm.
Achilles: WE COULDVE BEEN FUCKING. FOR. THREE. YEARS.
Patroclus: Mhm.
Chiron: i ship it.
Thetis: What the fuck
*as kids* Chiron: I just found out that my dad isn't really my dad. Chariclo: Your dad... Apollo the god who doesn't have a drop of horse or centaur blood in him? Chiron: [nods] Chariclo: Chariclo: That must have been quite a shock...
Chiron: *sees people in the distance doing something stupid* oh my gods, what idiots.
Chiron: *realizing it’s Patroclus and Achilles* Oh no, those are my idiots!

*1am on Pelion*
Patroclus: *giggling* You’re my moon.
Achilles: *also giggling* And you’re my star.
Chiron: *tiredly* and you’re both getting on my nerves, go to bed!

The fact that Python is Apollo's greatest enemy and snake is Asclepius' sacred animal will always be funny

Hermes finding a lost soul 🦋
I wanted to draw Hermes in his role as psychopompos and I remember reading somewhere that butterflies represented souls in greek mythology. I'm not really sure on that but I liked the idea :)

Hermes Lucio!! I messed around a lot w the background I think it’s pretty neat :]

Apollo is probably crying somewhere in the background at this point

Zephyrus, the Wind of the West, pursues the goddess Flora, making her drop her flowers onto the Earth below Date circa 1640.
The reason Zeus, Zephyrus, Agamemnon and Theseus are so important to Greek mythology is that they give us an excuse to make memes.
I mean, I REALLY HATE THEM ALL but the memes about their myths are the best
Zephyrus and Flora by Clodion (1799)
Hyacinthus: I want to kiss you.
Zephyrus, not paying attention: What?
Hyacinthus: I said if you die, I wont miss you.

Zephyrus, you already have your own flower. Leave Apollo's flower alone.
Hermes: So how did Hyacinthus die?
Zephyrus: Natural causes.
Apollo,*sobbing*: you directed a discus at his fucking head!!!
Zephyrus: Wind is natural on this planet.
Therapist: What do you have to do if someone rejects you? Zephyrus: Kill them using their loved ones as a weapon. Therapist: no-
