  Gotta love that Odysseus is literally the ONLY dude in the war that actually has a brain and doesn’t just jump into death traps for the sake of honor

  Knowing Odysseus asked Menelaus to set him up with Penelope and later not wanting to go to war because he loves being a family man is the sweetest and further cements him as my favorite Greek Hero

  Achilles being portrayed as an excitable kid who’s there to have fun and slowly descending into depression is actually genius

  You know what the best part about the book is? Those long descriptions of where a character was born, what their father did five years before they were born, how their homeland was formed... Only for them to get a spear through their skull in the first battle of the chapter.

  There is one part where Ares tries to stay neutral in the war, I like to imagine him seeing his mom and big sister arguing with his baby mama, and him just going "nope"

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLodQGpIpIs&amp;t=793">13:13</a> “Agamemnon is about to get murdered and all is right with the world” gets me every time just because of the pure joy in her voice

  The fact that we still know Achilles’ name today means that the prophesy was kinda legit.

  Odysseus still just literally being Solid Snake because of one dumb joke Red made SEVEN YEARS ago is incredibly heartwarming to me.

  I love how Red&apos;s shifted Odysseus&apos; design so that he looks perpetually &nbsp;exhausted/dead inside on top of the solid snake thing. Seems like a fair choice for the guy stuck with the one braincell in the midst of all this rampant shenaniganery.

  Fun fact, the arrows that Philoctetes uses to kill Paris are actually Heracles’ Hydra Blood arrows. Philoctetes got them from Heracles after helping him light his funeral pyre after the whole “Hydra Blood Shirt” incident. Just a nice little detail that emphasizes how the trojan war generation was the generation right after Heracles’ generation.
