@SaraFangirl_Art Aphrodite's magic was able to get Helen to Troy, but once Helen gets to know Paris, the magic has little affect on her. It's just like how you might be attracted to someone, and once you get to know them and realize they're awful that attraction instantly ends.

Murder (especially of children) in a modern day adaptation doesn’t hold the same weight especially due to the fact that women have more rights and independence. A modern day Medea murdering her children to get back at a cheating husband just wouldn’t work in the same way (10/12)

@flaroh That's so stupid. It's not like they're showing or doing anything explicit. Maybe put some drapery loosely across Achilles's chest and over Patroclus's thigh? It's a beautiful illustration and people NEED to see it.

Well shucks! I owe so much to @GreekMythComix for #classicstober and how it got my silly little drawings out to a larger audience.

One of my favourite accounts to have found since they joined in this year’s #ClassicsTober ! You absolutely must see @buccifolio works on Instagram and Twitter! 🥰

Elle doesn’t murder Vivian, but instead becomes her best friend. The future Warner thought he was entitled to because of his status becomes Elle’s through her own hard work and talents. Like Jason, Warner fades into obscurity. (8/12)
