shout out to the new-kingdom egyptian individual who painted these amazing frogs. they are superb little dudes.

odysseus, hektor, menelaus, diomedes, patroclus, achilles and agamemnon. in that order.

diomedes: is that a knife in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me? haha odysseus: it's a knife. diomedes: odysseus: give me the palladium.

hektor, prince of troy: i love all my siblings equally. kassandra, helenus, polyxena, deiphobus ... *looks at smudged writing on hand* ...... penis
