Y'all, I am so incredibly interested in hero worship, but I don't know where to start. 😭 I really want to worship Achilles and Patroclus! Does anyone know of any good resources where I could learn more about this??? Thank you in advance! ❤️

— an introduction to worshipping Odysseus

cw: chthonic aspect mention

Who is Odysseus?

Odysseus is a legendary hero, perhaps most famous for being the king of Ithaca. His other claims to fame include his skill with a bow, lateral thinking, trickster tendencies, and his homecoming. Like most heroes, Odysseus had a taste for glory, but his heart remained in Ithaca on his journeys. Ten years stood between him and his return to his wife and son, all because of a war he wanted no part in. Even when he feigned madness to avoid leaving home, the prophecy in place did not budge. He would fight in the Trojan war and, in doing so, he would become one of the most famous heroes Greece would ever know.

Why worship Odysseus?

If you’ve ever felt stranded, far away from home or comfort, you have something in common with Odysseus. As brave as he was, he wasn’t immune to sorrow and loneliness. But he didn’t give up. Fate actively worked against him and he (with the help of Gods) survived pain and torment to arrive at the place where he belonged.

To those of you who feel hopeless, isolated, and alone—Odysseus understands. He made it home, and you can too. Call on him for help along your journey, or even for nothing more than a reminder that humans can overcome even the most intimidating obstacles.

How should I worship him?

As a hero, Odysseus should be worshipped in a chthonic fashion. Pour our libations for him, have feasts in his honor, put together an altar that is low to the ground. What you offer him is up to you, but I will provide a short list to point you in the right direction.

Red Wine

Olive Oil

Meat (sheep or cow, preferably)

Fruits

Honey

Water

Coins

Cakes

As for devotional acts, I’d love to see people get creative with these as they’re so personal, but I’ll go ahead and supply a list of what might get you started.

Study the Iliad and the Odyssey

Donate money to charities that bring families together.

Show love to the people who make your life easier.

Practice Archery.

Tell someone a story.

Dedicate tasks like calling your therapist or doctor, going to appointments, taking care of your health, and reaching out for help to him.

Study necromancy.

Honor Athena.

@smallraindrops-blog I heard this audio on tiktok and immediately thought of wmftd. I literally could not focus on any of my assignments until I got this out of my system. It doesn't help that Tom Sturridge's voice is perfect for y/n.

Your honor, I will die for them.

Can someone please explain to me why people like Octavian?

My man Octavian is frequent customer in Build-a-Bear. He got that mfing returning customer discount

I bet the employees know him really well. I bet he’s friends with all of them

I bet they think Octavian is tad a bit weird cuz he keeps talking about how “he can’t wait to cut the teddies open”

But they don’t mind cuz he’s a nice nerdy fellow who likes talking about Roman History and Mythology.

the lack of fluffy octavian stuff is kinda sad

Here have this.

Happiest of Birthdays, Percy Jackson, congrats on being 17 again

never forgetting how hard middle school me cried during this scene

Actually TSATS could refer to Octavian because he's a child of the sun and he was shot into the stars-

𝕷𝖔𝖗𝖊/𝖘𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖘: ~A cunning trickster who had the ability to change his shape and sex, the creator of lightning, hearth fire, the spirit of life. In the beginning he was a beloved friend and honorary member of the Aesir, but toward the end he became an enemy.. Was/is a companion of Odin and Thor, helping them with his clever plans but sometimes causing them embarrassment and difficulties, though also being any enemy of sorts. Though his father was a Jotunn (a giant), his mother was considered a goddess, thus Loki is included among the Aesir.

-Once cut off Thor's wife's hair and was forced to replace it. He tricked dwarves into a wager for his head if they could deliver wonderful gifts the the gods (including the hair). They made a hammer for Thor, A great spear and a drop-near gold bracelet for Odin, A boat and a huge golden boar for Freyr, and of course new hair made of gold for Sif -Thor's wife. Loki then told the dwarves that the wager said that they could only take his head and that they could not damage his neck. They were enraged but Odin told them that they should have paid more attention when making a wager with the god of trickery. Though Loki was still punished by having his mouth sowed shut so he couldn't deceive for a long time.

-One day someone stole Thor's hammer and left a ransom note, later demanding Freya's hand in return for the hammer that protected both Asgard and Midgard. Loki had an idea though, -much to Thor's dismay- he dressed the thunder god as a bride and took advantage of the giant thief's poor sight. (Also disguising himself as a woman) He tricked the giant, successfully making him think that Thor was Freya. As they ate Thor let out his apatite and the giant said something about his bride having a big stomach. To avoid being caught Loki said that the "goddess" was just eager to consummate their marriage. Thor was furious and embarrassed. The giant got excited and foolishly set the hammer on the table next to Thor. The thunder god took his hammer back and smashed the giant's head, all while still wearing his pretty dress. The gods always had fun talking about the time when Thor dressed up in drag.

-One day a builder came to Asgard offering to make them a wall that they needed. He said he could do it in record time, but that he wanted Freya's hand in return. The gods were enraged by his audacity and said no but Loki convinced them to set a wager- he could have the goddess as his wife if he was able to do the impossible task in an impossible amount of time. The idea was that he would try his hardest but not be able to finish in time, therefore giving the gods a free wall that they could just finish the end of. But the builder had a strong and mystical horse that could lift and carry all the large pieces for him. As the builder got closer and closer to finishing with time still left, the other gods we nervous and angry with Loki- who told them he had a plan. He turned himself into a beautiful mare and seduced the builder's horse, running off to the woods with him, and rendering the builder unable to finish the wall. Enraged, the builder revealed himself as a Giant and was killed, his head smashed in by Thor's hammer. Loki returned much later with an eight legged colt; his son Sleipnir which he gifted to Odin when he got older and stronger- in exchange for the horse's origin to be kept secret.

-It's said that he gave humans lightning to warn them of Thor's loud thunder before it happens, because he knew it was frightening. The swift walker of the skies is the lightning running ahead of Thor's great thundering cart.

-Tricked Baldr's blind brother Hodr into throwing the one thing that would kill the god; mistletoe- right at his chest. He indirectly killed Frigg's son; one of the most beloved god's in all the Aesir. As his punishment his one of his sons turned and killed the other and he was tied to a stone in a cave, by his dead son's entrails- a snake coiled on a stalactite above his face, dripping venom down onto him. Though Loki's wife Sigyn sat by his side and held a bowl over his face to protect him, she had to move every once in a while to empty the bowl, allowing the poison to drip onto his face as he convulsed, causing the first earthquakes in Midgard. It is said that he was to break from his chains and aid in Ragnarock. Baldr's story goes on to describe the burning of his body in a funeral pyre on his ship, Nanna accompanying him. BUT in another version, the goddess Frigg persuaded the other gods to restore Balder to life. She repaid their obliging wizardry with kisses. (THIS IS WHERE THIS IS MY THEORY) if the second ending is true and Baldr is alive, I think that Odin would eventually release Loki under the guise that he either not cause Ragnarok or aid the Aesir instead of what was prophesized. [I haven't really thought that a deity was speaking directly to me until I read this story, it's like I saw it and it came at me all at once like a vision. Just thought I'd include it.])

Hazel tried to avoid eye contact, but she caught Octavian at the head of the First Cohort smirking at her, looking smug in his plumed centurion helmet with a dozen medals pinned to his chest.

More of the prophecy gremlin ✨

I practiced more and tried to make him more like the official art

Anti-shifters are so bitchy it’s so funny

Octavian: Sorry, where I should get the bus to go the cemetery?

Y/N!Child of Thanatos: In your face!

Octavian: "sarcastically" Lovely.

Soooo.... How did the hair bleaching go??? 👀👀

AAAAA!! Okay, it went fine luckily 😭 I’ve dyed and bleached my hair before but I don’t think I’ll ever get too used to it, I haven’t bleached my hair in like 3-4 years so I was a little nervous. BUT, it went fine. My cheer coach noticed and was joking around that I’m now a stereotypical cheerleader (I’m a flyer, my hair is blonde, I’m sarcastic.. Like ever villain in high school movies) But, yeah, it went fine! I almost got bleach and my eye and thought I would go blind but luckily it got on the wall instead of my eye 💪💪
