In his defense, pretty sure no one could have predicted that stupid golden apple nonsense.

Huh… so mutually assured destruction doesn’t act as a deterrent? If only there was a modern day epic about an unconventional war fighter who frequently used stealth tactics, has a convoluted family history, takes place over the course of decades in both the lead up and aftermath of a major global conflict, was sorta weird about women characters in the story, has a bunch of ridiculous and/or animal themed titles/nicknames, and that literally ends exactly where it began but with questionable authorial intent that could communicate that message or at least has been since… I dunno, call it 1987 or so? That would be so cool.

Tyndareus was trapped between Scylla and Charybdis. Odyesseus would later understand the same feeling.

how often do you think he replays this conversation in his head while trying to play hopscotch around every monster, god, man, and fuckin force of nature he manages to piss off in the ten years between troy and ithaca.
"Swear a blood oath I said. it's the best way to avoid war, I said. if I somehow manage to get swept up in a tidal wave that somehow allows me to travel back in time I'm slapping myself."

you think this conversation loops back in his head when he's clinging to whatever is left on his ship?

And they would have gotten away with it, too, if Achilles' mom had just remembered to invite that meddling Eris!

Literally use this and the Eris/Judgement of Paris with a few other stories before teaching the Iliad and have students debate who is truly at fault for the Trojan War. It is highly entertaining to have a bunch of teenagers argue over 3000 year old beef 😂😂😂

Tyndareus: Okay. When I said it was sorted...
Odysseus: I am from a sea girt island of goats. I can't pay a wedding gift.
Tyn: No no. Well, my brother in law is really into footraces. You need to beat him.
Ody: WITH MY LITTLE LEGS!? This requires a SCHEME.

It was honestly genius. A random pull would decide who Helen married and no one could go to war or protest the choice. And if she was ever kidnapped or taken by anyone else everyone else who had sworn the oath would go to war until she had been rescued. This is also why so many Greeks went to war against Troy, because half of their kings had taken this oath.
