this quiz tells you what your homeric epithet would be and well, isn’t this the question that keeps us all up at night? feel free to reblog and put your epithet in the tags, mine is bright-eyed

So I got Apollo - You got Rouser of armies You are rouser of armies. Be sure to get monogrammed towels. Homer often used this epithet to describe Apollo, who is the god of many things, including but not limited to music, truth, the sun, poetry, and the plague, which is, you know, unfortunate.

I like it! I’m Odysseus… the Great Teller of Tales… I’ll take it. That and the wandering around endlessly….

Delighting in Thunder! Homer used this epithet to refer to Zeus, basically the god of everything because he was big on killing people with storms. Example: “Zeus, delighting in thunder, instilled fear into my companions.” Definitely change your e-mail signature to reflect this.

I do like thunderstorms.

fun fact: there is a goddess of friendship in ancient greece named philotes

extra fun fact: she is a daughter of nyx, whose other children are such lovely people as thanatos (god of death), momus (god of mockery), oizys (goddess of misery and depression), nemesis (goddess of retribution), apate (goddess of deceit), and eris (goddess of strife)

Every family has an oddball
