Under Odysseus is a humorous warblog as written by an anonymous soldier from Greek antiquity. Although not a blog per se, it is in the blog format which makes it easy for Eurylochus to chronicle the Trojan War. I don’t know why I’m laughing so hard. Maybe that minor in Greek Art History when I got my Masters is finally good for somethin’?

“Anyway, Patroclus made a pretty dramatic entrance. Accompanied by Diomedes, he rode up on Hector’s horse, carrying a golden shield and a Myrmidonian flag. However, what really blew everyone away was that Patroclus was wearing Achilles’ armor. It was obvious that it was Achilles’ armor because it had a big cheesy ‘Alpha’ on the breastplate.

A loud whisper spread throughout the audience.

Everyone knew that Patroclus and Achilles were close, but not that close. Furthermore, as Patroclus was wearing Achilles’ armor, it was clear that Patroclus likely knew where Achilles had gone. -Agamemnon was visibly agitated.”
