Sometimes Zeus can be so adorable and then other times…

Although, I struggle with this part of the story because I can see both Hera and Zeus’ side of the story. Zeus is annoyed because Hera is trying to be involved in something that’s really none of her business and Hera is annoyed because Zeus is flirting with other woman and not treating her like an equal; Zeus is defensive because Hera is so aggressive, and Hera is aggressive because Zeus is so condescending… There is a lot going on there.

Anyway. There you go! The end of Book 1. Sunday we shall begin Book 2.

But I do have a problem. I am running out of my allotted image space on WordPress and I do not have money to upgrade. I only have 1-3 more posts before I will hit a brick wall of NOPE YOU CAN’T POST ANYMORE IMAGES so… 0_0 I have no idea what I’ll do this coming week, and now that I’m in full-swing of my two jobs I’m not sure when I’ll have the time to figure it out -_- ‘Tis a puzzlement. UGH, being part of the Working Class and being poor is STUPID. Ahem. Anyway. We’ll see what happens.

BUT, next Sunday we shall meet Dream and return to Agamemnon and Odysseus.

Oh no! What will happen next!? Find out on Wednesday 😉

ALSO: I never thought I would ever be saying this, but I think Zeus is becoming one of my favourite characters. He’s just so dramatic and over-the-top.

BTW: In the first picture the person directly behind Zeus is Dionysos. I wanted to sneak him into the story. 😛

Yes, I am making fun of Odysseus… HOWEVER, I will say that I like Odysseus more in The Iliad than in The Odyssey.

Also, poor Patroclus. Gotta’ give that dude props. He is a good friend and puts up with a whole lot of Achilles’ nonsense.

Join us next week for the last of book one *GASP!* Yes, we will finish book one next Wednesday *faints from shock*. I am not sure of a title yes, but it will be something like: Hera Never Pries or something like that. There will also be more of Thetis, mwahaha.

New Project: The Iliad According to NaomiRuth

~ TheNaomiRuth ~ 1 Comment

I have no idea how long such a thing will take, or even if I will be successful in attempting such a thing, but I am going to try! I have done character sketches for The Argives, so I merely have all of the Trojans, all of the Immortals, plus a couple of random other characters, to do. Which. You know. Should be easy. 0_0

ANYWAY. While you are waiting for me to post up the Argive characters feel free to go out and buy a copy of The Iliad [this post tells you about the copy I am using] or you can follow this link and read an online version for free.
