— the iliad
set during the trojan war, the ten-year siege of the city of troy by a coalition of greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between king agamemnon and the warrior achilles.
although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the iliad mentions or alludes to many of the greek legends about the siege; the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war, and related concerns tend to appear near the beginning. then the epic narrative takes up events prophesied for the future, such as achilles’ imminent death and the fall of troy, although the narrative ends before these events take place. however, as these events are prefigured and alluded to more and more vividly, when it reaches an end the poem has told a more or less complete tale of the trojan war.
for @melqomene and @arthemis mythological event — 1st day: favourite greco/roman deity/group/creature » Circe
“Then we came to the island of Aeaea; here Circe dwelt, a goddess with braided hair, with human speech and with strange powers; the magician Aeetes was her brother, and both were radiant Helios the sun-god’s children; their mother was Perse, Oceanus’ daughter.”
“she walked with d a r k n e s s dripping off her shoulders, i’ve seen ghosts brighter than her soul.” (x)
